1. Avoid a soggy sleeping bag, especially in the feet. In case your tent has any condensation onto it, particularly the wall where the feet have you been may either make certain the feet don't touch it throughout the night (not necessarily possible) or try these pointers:

* protect the foot of the sleeping bag from being in the water by wrapping up inside your rain gear or,

* put a garbage bag round the beyond your sleeping bag where the feet are. Condensation issue solved!

2. Try before you purchase. Seriously, climb to the different sleeping-bags within the store prior to deciding. This can be a big investment and something of the most basic bits of camping and backpacking gear you'll need.

I recommend the mummy style bag for everybody and it is vital that you're comfortable inside. An excessive amount of room and also you may not stay warm. Insufficient wiggle room and also you probably will not get enough rest since you will not be that comfortable.

3. Many manufacturers make an additional long length that is ideal for tall campers and hikers but additionally is ideal for storing sensitive gear. The additional space in the foot end is fantastic for storing gear that shouldn't freeze like batteries, water as well as your electronics.

4. Over dressing through the night. Often when we're cold through the night we often layer up. But when we wear a lot of layers our sleeping-bags can't get the job done efficiently. For those who have extra room inside your bag, extra layers may take in the dead air and help you stay warmer. Without having much wiggle room inside then your extra layers you wear can function against you and also keep your bag from properly insulating you.

5. Cold feet? A lot of us have cold feet through the night, particularly if we're camping or hiking in cooler climates. This tip works best for us each time. We hike with aluminum water bottles and also at evening we pour warm water into them. Then, we slip them into our hiking socks and set them within the foot section of our sleeping-bags. Our feet stay warm and comfy and that we have fresh cool water to drink by morning. It is the perfect camping warm water bottle!

Follow these 5 easy ideas to become a specialist together with your sleeping bag and relish the nights much more when you're in nature.
