Re: winter bag options

My scouts and I do every year, in Idaho.  Put Thor 3 season bag in a big
rectangular bag with the zippers on opposite sides. If you want to be
really warm put a cheap fleece bag inside both.

but save $100.00 and then would have another bag to share when it was not
winter.  Would the doubled up quilts provide same warmth as just one winter
quilt? or would body heat not transfer well through the outer lining into
the 2nd bag? The quilt compresses well, so I don't think the doubled volume
would cause a pack problem.  Is this just crazy newbie thoughts?
