Sleeping Bags make it feel more like home.



Waking up warm and dry is always a good way to start a day and your sleeping bag helps with this a-lot.


I know most people want to be comfortable right? so please do not sell your self short here buy the best you can afford and your gear will keep repaying you in performance.
What temperature rating is best

Choosing the right rating depends greatly on what time of year you will be camping the most Bags are generally rated to a certain temperature for example the company may stated good to thirty degrees.

Summer camping requires a much higher rating or rating to a warmer temperature this is fine is you plan on camping in the late spring into the summer.

You find the lighter duty bags thinner and lighter weight which help with storage.

Winter camping requires a lower rating and thicker insulation because trust me here is a area you do not want to under estimate you will be very cold all night.

Important Features

Some of the important features to look for are quality zippers,good seams/sewing and light weight insulation either man made or down.

Kids Made Easy

My kids actually have special sleeping bags with a air mattress built into the design this is very helpful and the kids love them.

You would be amazed how giving your children a little choice in their gear will help them take to camping and trust me this will help everyone enjoy camping more.
Choose Wisely

Sleeping Bags are just as a important decision as tents because if you choose poorly it has the potential to ruin your camping trip.

My wife and I have two bags that can be zippered into one large unit this is quite a handy feature and you will find a good portion of bags sold today will do this.

Storing Your Bags

We have found using old air mattress bags works great for our Equipment you can be pretty inventive here just keep it simple and you will be fine.

Sleeping on Air

The best accessory you can buy for a sleeping bag is a good air matress this keeps the hard ground from digging into your back and keeps your sleeping bag warmer since it is not directly on the ground.

If a air matress isn't for you a sturdy sleeping pad will help make your nights night more enjoyable.


These are really useful in shorter tent designs or where your trying to reduce equipment/weight.
