The Bed That Counts When Off On A Mountain Trail

July 1st, 2009

After having hiked over the mountain path for almost the better part of the day, one is just looking for the right place to settle down. The welcome site of the camping tent beckons you. It is time to unpack and have the packed dinner. One is looking forward to sliding into the comfortable and cozy sleeping bag that is rolled up. It gives you a satisfied feeling that there is the sleeping bag for you to slide in, zip in and drift away with the cool wind all around and millions of stars in the sky watching over you.

Carrying a bed with you when you are on a camping trip, hiking, trekking or climbing mountains is just not possible. But a sleeping bed which is almost a bed is just good enough. It is an improvised bed that can be easily carried with you during such trips. It looks like a blanket that is made to be a protective bag with zipper. The soft padding provides the softness and comforts. Its thermal insulations keep you warm in chilly nights. Sleeping bags are of two kinds. The first resembles a blanket with a zipper on one or either side so that the bag can be zipped up and closed. This type of sleeping bag are folded and rolled up, bound with straps or cords and packed onto your backpack. The second type of bag is the mummy bag as the shape is akin to a mummy. Broad on the shoulder tapering as it comes to the leg side, the mummy bag cannot be folded or rolled. It is stuffed into the stuff pack or the compression pack and carried on your rucksack.

The sleeping bags differ in their insulation capacities and ability to withstand water. You can get the sleeping bags suited to different situation and needs. The Marmot Hydrogen review gives you the details of one such that leaves you warm at 30 Fahrenheit.

Portable And Protective, The Make Shift Home

June 25th, 2009

A camping tent is on the top of the list of campers. Tents are just not merely portable but can be set up quite easily. The tents are also environmentally friendly as they have little impact on the natural surroundings. Tents will have to be chosen according to the season that one intends to go camping. There is the one-season tent which can stand up to light showers. This tent is suited for summer camping. Heavy rains and moderate snow can be endured by the three-season tent. This can be great for autumn, spring and summer. It has good ventilation and also protects from the wind and insects. But these cannot withstand heavy snow.

The winter snow can be withstood by the four seasoned tent. The disadvantage is that the poor ventilation to keep out the cold in winter is not suited for summer as it gets too hot and uncomfortable inside the tent. This tent is heavier than other tents. You can unzip a roof panel or a pole section can be removed to convert the four season tent to a three season tent. The expedition tent is best suited for severe climatic conditions such as heavy snow, strong winds or heavy rains.

The number of persons going for camping will primarily determine the tent size. The season when you intend to go for camping also will be important. Separate sleeping areas are available in the bigger tents with partitions. There are tents for the rough mountains which have adjustable air vents, sealed seams, strong high performance waterproof canopy and reinforced pole clips. Such a tent is the Marmot Alpinist 2 tent .
