What about the post that was removed?
I removed the following post: Chirp, chirp, chirp. As in the sound of crickets. Do you take that as an attack? Like my mother said, 'grow a thicker skin' if you really feel like that was a personal attack.

The thread title is "Lightest Bag for the Alaska Range?" not lightest bag for sunny California. If you have never climbed anything in the AK, how can you possibly think you know what you are talking about?

This means that, unless I am wrong, I have infinitely more experience with VB sleeping bags than you. The same is true for your friends if they have not used one. So, please do validate your opinion based on your real world experience with a VB sleeping bag.
I have never used a VBL sleeping bag liner. Please tell me where my logic fails:
VBL sleeing bag liners require sleeping in only a light base layer. You can't wear all your clothes to bed.
VBL adds up to +10 degrees
My clothes add up to +30 degrees with zero addition of weight.
Explain what is wrong with my math? Also, name a current AK Range climber that uses a VBL, or are these hardmen too stupid to realize the advantages?
