Anyone camp without sleeping bags? I'll be car camping so bulk isn't really a problem but most sleeping bags are a bit much. As in you're laying awake because you're too warm. Anyone use quilts? I've been thinking about going with a cargo blanket for a mat and a 'camping quilt' for warmth. The low is probably going to be in the 50's and the high in the 80-90's. The heat and sun gets you up around 7:30-8 am. What do you use?

I have a bedroll I bought years ago, its a canvas bag (Like carhart pants) with a quilt, woool blanket and sheets in it, rolls up to about 12" in diameter and about 3' long.
Bought it from Herters about 40 years ago.. I think Cabelas sells them, prob Bass Pro as well.
I've slept form -40 to over 100 in it.. You just ditch the wool blanket and quilt if its too hot.

I ended up biting the bullet and getting a set of bags. They were cheap at $16 on sale at Amazon. They're 50* bags which should be fine and they're simple. I still want to do some bed rolls though. I'm wondering what the temps are going to be like if the snow pack is still big and it snowed yesterday.
