I just invested in a nice down sleeping bag and want to get the most service life out of it as possible. What do you do in the field and at home to maintain your down bags? Use of sleeping bag liners? Sleep in your base layer? Do you wash them after a hunt/season? How do you clean a down bag?
Also, I'm bald and have to wash my pillow cases twice as much as my sheets due to the direct contact and transfer of skin oils from my head. I'm thinking the hood of the sleeping bag will be the first failure point because of this. Any specific recommendations for bald guys? I was thinking of just wearing a sacrificial beanie hat while I sleep.
