Hey now, we'll have none of that thank you very much ...


I have some crappy old thing that has lasted me years, but recently purch ased one of those sleeping bag liner sheet things, and its fab! That extra layer makes all the difference if its a bit snippy, and if its too hot (pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let it be too hot!!) you just use the sheet! Rock 'n' roll people

Peace x

Ive had one of these for about 10 years and never had a problem with being cold at festies. If so, a jumper and trousers would help anyway!

Also discovered when i went with the girlfriend once that two will zip together creating a double. No longer got a girlfriend, but i still make it a double occasionally!
Guess zipping 3 or more together would also work!

I admire that kind of confidence, I'll only be taking 1.

Has anyone got one of those Pod Sleeping Bags...the ones where you can curl up in? Probably very comfy but are they cold to sleep in?

Car keys.  

To avoid that problem use the lock-ups.

Along with the Gelert Twister 4 or 5.

I blame you Mr Eyes for the tent porn that is currently overheating my poor laptop! You started it and now I am hooked!  :P Gaaaaaaaaah!

Rather pricey but for someone who doesnt like the closed space in a sleeping bag i think its great. I will definatly be getting one even though it is expensive.
I got a selk bag reduced to 55 quid, incredibly comfy thing it is

i got a few cheap bags from ebay, £9.99 each and RRP of £29.99. it was out of season though, but you can save a fortune if you look in decemeband january. doesnt help you now though !  

zip pockets inside the bag is usefull to keep your money, phone , stash , whatever in !

I'm looking for a sleeping bag that packs up very small. It doesn't have to be particularly warm though as I'm usually pretty warm anyways
