When you love adventure (but your name isn't Bear Grylls)
For summer camping, it’s pretty easy to find a sleeping bag that will keep you toasty and warm for under $50.
Finding a budget sleeping bag for winter camping is much tougher.
In this article, I’ll be reviewing the Abco Tech – a hugely popular 4-season sleeping bag. Its price is very attractive to those on a budget, but is it really warm enough for camping in the snow?
There’s something incredibly comforting about hunkering down in a cozy sleeping bag under the stars. I often find that I sleep better outdoors than at home – something to do with being out in the fresh air, perhaps.
Like many things in life, top quality sleeping bags are expensive. But unlike tents, this is one piece of kit where you can get away with buying a cheap option, particularly if weight and pack size isn’t an issue.
My sleeping bag is hands down my most treasured piece of camping gear. I’ve had my current sleeping bag for over fifteen years and although it’s looking a little well-loved, it still keeps me cozy and warm.
In fact, given my sleeping bag has been with me longer than any romantic partner, you could say it’s my favorite sleeping companion. (Sorry, husband…)
If you’re looking for the love of your life a new sleeping bag that won’t break the bank, then it’s worth looking at the Coleman range of bags.
Camping in winter? You may shudder at the thought, but an early winter’s morning can be one of the most beautiful times to be outdoors.
I’ve done my fair share of cold weather camping, from Scottish winters (and summers!) to high altitude Alpine bivvies and camping on glaciers in Iceland and Greenland. I hate being cold at night, so it’s really important that I have a decent sleeping bag that’s up to the job.
In this article, we’ll look at some things you need to consider when buying a cold weather sleeping bag. I’ll also be finding the best winter sleeping bags at different price points so you can find something to suit your needs.
Laying down to sleep after a long day in the outdoors is one of the most blissful feelings.
Nestled cozy into your sleeping bag, the scurrying of nocturnal critters and rustling of the evening breeze lull you to sleep - YAWN - I’m feeling drowsy just thinking about it!
But after a few minutes lying there, you become restless. Flipping onto your side doesn’t help. Adjusting your pillow doesn’t help. Even counting sheep doesn’t help. Something just isn’t right… and it’s probably your air mattress.
