Are there any 20 degree sleeping bags that squash down reasonably? I would like a tent for more than just the summer.

Again the silnylon bags are hard to beat. They act like a compression bag for less weight and are fully waterproof (if closed properly). Without the compression straps on the outside they will make for a very small pack size.
