Non-slip Sleeping Bags?

[McCor]

Last year I had the misfortune of camping on a slope, with a self inflating mattress and sleeping bag.

The only thing that kept me from sleeping was slipping down the tent!! 

Any recommendations for non-slip sleeping bags?

Sleep on a flat bit?

Ah, how I've missed the responses you get on here....

Old school cottony ones rather than the newer shiny ones? Or velcro?

duct tape ... partner first, then yourself - hours of fun.

Try using some sort of Yoga Matt between your sleeping bag and self inflating mattress jobs a goodun

[Rumblestripe]

Pitch the tent so that it is facing down the field and sleep with your head at the top

But seriously, Woffy is right.  Avoid the slopes.

You will indeed stick like shit to a blanket using one of these.

The key with a sleeping bag is a good cotton liner - and a pillow.  Really makes a difference.

The key is to buy a sleeping pod rather than the usual coffin shaped and coffin confining sleeping bags of old. You can wriggle about in them to your hearts content.

As an aside, one of my friends once was so pissed he couldn't find the open end of his sleeping bag to get in to it. The end result was that he slashed the closed end open with a knife and got his way in to it that way - more of a sleeping tube than a bag at that stage.

I go for a double sleeping bag with liner - even though I sleep solo at festivals. As you say Yog, wriggle room.

By which I meant room enough to get a good w*nk in without feeling confined.

 

That was universally understood, right?

My wife makes a lovely little sleeping quarters , double air bed with a quilt cover pulled over it then a quilt cover and and two unzipped sleeping bags for warmth as well as a couple of decent pillows . It's a little extra to carry but it's worth it in the end . A small snipet in the background

This is what I do, but on years where I've had a bit of a slope I've also found that slippage is a problem.  I reckon a good 1/3 of the camping spaces are on a slope of some sort, so it's a good question.  The year I camped in South Park it was particularly noticeable, I must have had to wriggle back up the hill like a drunk caterpillar about 6 times a night.

Remind me not to shake your hand (or anything else) at the EFests meet Yog.

[astrowerks]

if you stay at Worthy view or tangerien fields youve got a good chance of being on a slope.  woke up in my bag (not the sleeping one) one night as i has slid all the way down the tent.

Noticed this, haven't used one myself but looks like it might help.

Alas, we may not be going to Glastonbury this year despite having tickets. A friend has just bought Shambala tickets to celebrate her husband's 50th birthday and so we've had to buy tickets for that. I'm not too sure that we'll be able to go to both so may have to drop out of Glastonbury.

Use any spare tent pegs to fasten your sleeping down.

Foolproof

I wonder how this lot got on sleeping;

Kinda cool Yog but say they'd be fucked if it rained.

But it's not going to r**n!!!  NFR NFC  I think they'd be kind of fucked on that slope anyway dry or wet. Unless they were after a big love in within the bottom compartment of the train in the first place.
