<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Double Sleeping bag?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>For your first question: in a word, NO. The usual refugio bed
is a double bunk - vertically double, that is - even sometimes triple. In some
it might be possible to use a double bag on the floor, but often there will
not be even enough room for that even if it is allowed. Then there is the
problem of people tripping over you on their way to the bathroom in the dark.
With as many as fifty people in a room, this is a common occurrence. I found a
cheap (about $50), lightweight (1 pound 9 ounce) bag at REI that was plenty
adequate for my early Fall trip this year.
<P>Hotels usually have regular double beds or even larger, but they also have
adequate covers and you wouldn't be using your sleeping bag.
<P>regards,
