shouldn’t you start …
shouldn’t you start first of all by telling people that it’s important to get in a sleepingbag well fed and after a short excersize so your body heats up the bag… You easely win few degrees doing that… That is one of the most basic tips to give and you keep talking about zipping it close, if you don’t know that you shouldn’t go hiking

For those cold nights, I always bring along a 2hp petrol generator which will supply enough electriciy to run a 1 kilowatt fire. (with the added bonus of using my George Foreman Mean Lean Grilling Machine whenever I feel hunger).
It’s the way ahead…….

There is a very pourous foam on the iside that compresses easily when you roll it up, when you open up the air valve air fills the body a the pourous foam to give the pad loft, just like a down bag, you can then set the perfect firmness/softness by blowing into the valve. Check out any good outdoors store they should have displays to try out. Good luck, be safe & smart. And remember take only memories, leave only footprints.

Does anybody know …
Does anybody know what model of tent is being used here? I want to replace my present one-man tent with one that has a full-sided door like the one seen here (good for ease of access) and one that you can actually sit up in without banging your head against the top; that way you can wait it out when it rains far more comfortably! Also, is there any info about tent ‘modding’ out there? I’ve modified several tents for cycle touring trips and would be interested in other peoples’ ideas/experiences!
