Let's face it; stories which are heard around a campfire tend to last a lifetime. The most important item is of course a good tent, and after that, comes the sleeping bags. Obviously you need to choose a sleeping bag which will be suitable for the type of weather you're expecting. Camping sleeping bags are categorized according to a temperature rating, and this can go a long way in helping you to choose the correct type of sleeping bag.

Comfortable temperature rating refers to the range of temperature a person may sleep in sleeping bag comfortably. Extreme temperature rating refers to the lowest temperatures in which the sleeping bag can be used before it becomes ineffective. These temperature ratings should not be taken at face value. They only provide a guide to the user when buying the bag.

Getting a rectangular down sleeping bag could be a bit of a difficulty to some simply because they truly do not know what to consider in a sleeping bag. Some key qualities that you're going to want to have whenever you searching for the bag for yourself would be temperature rating, overall size and weights, type of insulation, material, and also the size it compresses to. These are the biggest parts of every sleeping bag. You wouldn’t want to take a sleeping bag that is only good for a temperature of 40 degrees camping in weather colder than 10 degrees. It will probably be a really distressing camping trip and will most likely give you frost bite.

The size and weight is another major part of each and every sleeping bag simply because you do not want to have a sleeping bag for a person 5’8” when you are 6’2”, it just wouldn’t work out great. Try to get a sleeping bag that is a couple inches taller for you, then you'll have enough room for comfort.

Why ultralight sleeping bags? Because ultralight backpacking is only made possible by cutting the weight of the big three; the backpack, shelter and sleeping bag. The days of five-pound summer bags are gone - at least for those of us who prefer to go light.

One Pound Ultralight Sleeping Bags

There are several one-pound ultralight sleeping bags on the market now. My own is 17 ounces. It actually weighs 19 ounces with the stuff sack, but stuff sacks aren't always necessary. It can be stuffed directly into my pack or put in a half-ounce bread bag. It's a down sleeping bag, and has kept me warm down to below freezing - warmer, in fact, than my four-pound bag used to keep me.

It appears fragile, and I've babied it over the years, but it may be tougher than I thought. I've used it from sea-level to 16,000 feet, in all types of weather, usually camping under a tarp, yet it still has its loft, and it appears almost new. The zipper goes only half-way down, to save weight, and it's a mummy bag, but I'm 6'3, 165 pounds, and I've always been comfortable in it.

We all enjoy camping out under the stars and pale moon. Am I right or am I right? There's not a human being alive that doesn't adore a good bout with Mother Nature. Just lounging by the campfire, singing a tune and soaking up the peace and quiet. Alright, I admit that there may be a few folks that don't enjoy the outdoors. As for the rest of us, we need that relaxing break from the real world chaos and stress. And with the right outdoor camping equipment, a trip up into the wilderness can be an utter blast. Everyone get your tents, sleeping bags, and flashlights ready; we're headed outdoors.

Less than a month ago I was camping in a nearby woods with my daughter. She was the only one of my family members I could get to go with me. Fortunately she loved the experience. We're lucky to have a friend that owns a large portion of land, because he lets us camp on it whenever we please. Now, you may be wondering why we ventured out into the bush during the winter season.
