JanSport externals come with loop locks on the bottom of the bag to make it easy to lash the sleeping bag on the bottom. We do not provide the straps for the following reasons: a) We put as much value as possible into permanent features on the pack. The after market straps are sold cheaply at every backpacking store in America. If we included the straps we would need to delete other features that the consumer could not replace afterwards.

Depends on the individual, but most hikers find that a down or synthetic bag rated at +20? F is a good compromise between warmth and weight/bulk. You might choose to add a VBL (vapor barrier liner) at Kennedy Meadows in early season for the high Sierra, or a 5? F bag. Otherwise you will probably be a little chilly at times. Most hikers carry a light sleeping pad, but some insulate themselves from the ground with only clothing and gear. See similar questions...

We do not allow any of our guests to bring sleeping bags with them as bugs and mites are known to live in them, and we do not want these in our hostels, let alone our guests having them. All our hostels provide bed linen (some hostels charge a supplement of ?2), or alternatively you can bring your own. Sleep sheets are also allowed. Blankets are also provided and towels can be rented in most hostels. See similar questions...
