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.

Sleeping bag types

Waking up in the morning and being able to function is tops on most campers to do list so having the right air mattress and sleeping bag are really what makes this happen.

You are going to want to choose the right tool for the job when it comes to what your sleeping in so lets look at some basics types of bags.

This is your standard style of bag the rectangle (this ones built for two), for the most part this is what most summer campers will want to buy, the biggest change you will find is what it is made.

Those of us who prefer colder weather will want a mummy bag notice this on even comes with a ground liner to help insulate you from the cold ground. This type of bag is only needed for winter camping trips since their designed to keep most of your body heat.

Your kids should not feel left out, they can get their own quality bag without the cartoon characters all over them, I say this a lot how ever I believe its true "stay away from the license gear" I find it is cheaply made and it does not last.

Kids Made Easy

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. Depending on the age of your children you may even be able to hand down gear between siblings.

Choose Wisely

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

Sleeping on Air

The best accessory you can buy for a sleeping bag is a good air mattress this keeps the hard ground from digging into your back and keeps your sleeping bag warmer since it is not directly on the ground. You can even find self inflating models if you do not have an air pump handy.

If a air mattress 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.
