    Canadian Military Sleeping Bags


    For some reason these have become very hard to source, and the prices have gone beyond stupid on government auctions. We have 6 available for late this week Please note these are the inner bag only. The complete 4 part sleep system should be for sale again in about 3 weeks.









    The large batch that we discussed earlier has arrived. Great To To Buy While Supplies Last!

    Modular Sleep Systems, surplus condition, sold out.

    A couple years back the CAF asked everyone who didn't regularly use them to turn them in, in order to hand them over to some "rehomed" persons. I can't recall the specifics.

    I'm 6'3'' , I've used the inner and outer sleeping bags for years. Couldn't say if there was multiple sizes, but I'd doubt it TBH knowing the CAF.

    It wasn't to "rehomed persons", it was to try and get sleeping bags to troops who actually had a chance of sleeping in the field because our supply system is so borked, we had people join our BMQ who didn't have any sleeping bags or other gear.
    Just some random gun toting weeb in Alberta.

    You can go to clothing stores and get measured for a longer bag if you are overly tall.

    I'm 6'6" and mine is a little shorter than I'd like, but I just tuck a little bit and I can still get inside.

    There's still lots of troops without rucksacks, sleeping bags, and other essential field kit.

    Maybe you're right and I'm misremembering. I deleted the email asking me to hand it in years ago. They obviously thought it was important enough to send it to my civy email while I was out of office for an extended period. This was probably sometime between 2016-2018. On the plus side we're 10k members short vice increasing by 5000, so presumably they now have enough of them.
