[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1476181, member: 105926"] Exactly! When you lay a down bag on a cot you will compress it all on the bottom side of the bad, thus loosing all the insulation value of the down against the cot. Effectively the only thing insulating you from below was the cot fabric, the air between the cot and the ground (which i am assuming is cold air), and the sleeping bag fabric. Adding an insulated air pad (any pad would have helped) would have put a lot of insulation under your bag and kept you MUCH warmer. Most pads also have indentions to allow the down on the bottom of the sleeping bag to expand some, thus adding more insulation value. [/QUOTE]
