Good Quality Canvas Sleeping bag
Hello All
I’m looking to add another sleeping bag to our hunting gear. Currently I’m running a 25 year old Trekk -25 canvas and fleece bag that I absolutely love. Unfortunately they don’t make it anymore.
Anyone have any experience with a similar bag by a different manufacturer. I absolutely hate the nylon stuff sack type bags.
If possible I would even like something a little oversized. Sail out of Quebec has one called the Anok? I think but I e never spoken to anyone who has laid eyes on one.
Thanks
Hilgy

Couple suggestions for camp bags
Have a look at the Woods poly-cotton canvas bags with flannel lining available from Canadian Tire. Specifically the Heritage at -15C, and the Yukon 10 at -45C. My Woods sleeping bags with 5lbs. of Hollofill 2 have held up well and always kept me warm throughout the years. Bonus- they zip together to make a queen size sleeping bag.
Another option: check out the North 49 brand available from Costco. They show the Frontier 9 at -25C and the Basecamp at -42C. I'm not familiar with this brand, but if Costco carries it, it should be reasonably OK.

really good company. I think their bags are lifetime warranty. I had 2 replaced free of charge even though the bags damage wasn't fault of the bag or comany. (don't ask, but I bought 28 bags from them for a company that uses them fairly roughly)

Woods makes a great sleeping bag. Not light by any stretch but if you wanted to stay warm camped on a frozen Manitoba Lake for a winter doing geological surveys I wouldn't take anything else. I only know them as 3 star and 5 star. Models have likely changed since I bought my last one.
Canvas, down, and itchy damn wool liner. Can't beat that. It's not camping if you aren't spitting feathers in the morning

I have 7x Woods Migrator Duck bags at my cabin here in the Yukon. 3 for the main cabin and 4 for the guest bunkhouse. Never a complaint, even when folks neglect to fill the wood stove on chilly evenings.
Typically they get used as oversized comforters on top of bedsheets. Once a year I will pull a couple out for the wall tent bison hunt setup. They do the job.
Obviously they are large, heavy things. The MEC crew I am pretty sure uses them in disgust ; )

My parents run a sheep operation and send all their wool here. We use their sleeping bags for our wall tent base camp. Bags are way oversized and perform excellent, definitely worth the cost. Love the fact that they are local and use local woolgrowers for the fill as well.

Hey Guys
Figured I’d update this thread. Thanks to all that offered advise. One of my big problems is that i needed my bag fairly quickly. So after looking at a lot of the options mentioned I ended up going with a Cabelas Magnum 44 -20c bag.
I really wanted a oversized bag. I have 2 terrible shoulders so I move around a lot during the night because of the discomfort. I spent 4 nights in this bag last weekend and was quite impressed. Much better than a standard bag for me. Hopefully it holds up as good as the Trekk has.
One thing that I was a little ****ed about was the lack of a storage bag. Even $50 cheap bags have some sort of bag with them. For close to $300 I expected a decent canvas storage bag.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions and happy hunting.

Should have looked at the Teton bag I gave you the link to.. Its VERY big and comes with a nice canvas bag with a heavy duty zipper.. Can usually get them for about 100$ off amazon.. I've had mine for over 5 years and nothing but great things to say.. Also life time warranty no questions asked

I did look. It was on my short list but even with Prime I couldn’t find one that I was sure was going to get to me in time. While I was out hunting I noticed a couple that were back to guaranteed 2 day. I’m going to be replacing my youngest sons bag ( my old one ) after this season and the Tetons are on the list. Thanks for your help.

Gotcha... Ya with covid shipping is nothing but a guess now..
I don't usually push brands or products, but Teton is an amazing company.. I think I mentioned about that I actually bought 28 sleeping bags from them and by no fault of the bags, 2 got damaged after 4 years of use.. no questions asked they sent 2 brand new bags to me and didn't even ask me to ship the damaged ones back

Not canvas, but I bought my heavy truck bag in 1984 from Ribtor.
Believe it is called an Alberta 8. I kept it in my old hunting Suburban for many years in the winter.
Has been a really warm and faithful friend.
Every time the Grandson stays for a sleepover he begs me to let him sleep on the floor in that bag
