Survival Sleeping Bag

I'm going to survival camp in year 8 and I want to get a new sleeping but the thing is that I have to carry it around for 4 days so I prefer it to be as lightweight as possible.
Can you help me out?

Please don't talk about bedrolls as they are supplied.

All sleeping bags have a night temperature rating. You will want to purchase one that has proper temp protection for your climate.Ratings are usually in 10 to 20 degree increments. If you spend a little more and buy qualifill they are light weight 3-5 lbs and keep you nice and warm. if you like to be cozy a nice mummy bag is warmer and lighter.

Me and my friends want to try going camping in the wild with limited supplies:
- 1 Flint
- 3 Cans of any preserved food
- Sleeping Bag
- Tarp Tent
- Survival Knife

But we don't know where we can go do this legally. Maybe a National Park or by a hiking trail?

and we live in Chicago, so somewhere close would be best.

No can opener? Hope you dont plan on having to chew through the can lol

How long are you looking to do this for? If its only like 1 or 2 nights you can last the whole weekend without any food at all. You can last weeks with out food and only days without water. So going 2 days or 3 days with 1 can of food is plenty....not really a survival situation...plus having a tarp and sleeping bag is a major advantage.

Try a state park they have plenty of places where you can pitch a tent or tarp along the trail. You`re essentially camping so its no big deal.

Look at the map the pins are trips in your area. Also, notice the orange box on the right side of the page- it has many chicago area trips

EDIT:
Oh I can Mtn Man You think I carry an opener when I go out? I highly doubt he/they can though if they are asking about survival on here LOL They`d end up "starving" and hitting the first Mc D`s on the road LOL

any helpfull tips would be apreciated!
cheers!
oh yeah first aid kit- duh?

I did two survival weekends when I was in High School. One of the most helpful things I found was safety pins. You can use them to pin clothing together, as a zipper pull, a fishing hook (bend the sharp end to form a hook and then cut off the clasp), use several to make a light weight chain, poke holes in things, etc.

Parachute cord, some times called 550 cord, is helpful too. You can use it to make shelters (string between two trees and then throw plastic over it), as a clothes line, strip the outter casing and use the inner strings for fishing line, lash poles together, make boot laces, etc.

A pen or pencil and a note pad are good.

A small sewing kit is great for mending small holes in clothing or for emergency sutures.

A pair of leather work gloves. The obvious use is for work, but they can also be used as pot holders to remove hot pots and pans from the fire.

Does anyone know what order they should go in? More importantly, why?

There must be more than one subarctic survival simulation. The following link has several survival simulations which I have used over the years, including a subarctic survival. Since these are copyrighted, I will not give you the exact listing and reasons why. However, they exist. There is even a video you can use. Good luck
