Relax And Unwind Through Camping

By Brandi Perkins

Out in the open and amidst nature's glory, one thinks of the night when darkness sets in. There is the wind, the dew and the insects to live with. It is time to sleep. That is when one looks at the sleeping bag longingly and in wonder at the great comfort it gives you. Sleeping bag has become indispensable and high up in the list of camping equipments that one thinks of. It resembles a folded blanket with a zip which can be folded or rolled and carried around to camping sites.

Once packed, you can carry it around when out in the open spending a few days and nights. It comes in handy when you are traveling or trekking or hiking or camping. Sleeping bags combines comfort, security and warmth. The elongated rectangular sleeping bag is roomier. There is also the mummy shaped sleeping bag. It is open and broad at the shoulder end and tapers down to the legs which are enclosed. It is less spacious as compared to the rectangular sleeping bag.

It is not possible to fold the mummy bag like the rectangular bag. It has to be rolled up and tied. The mummy bag provides more warmth and protection with its lesser space and sealed leg side. The marmot pinnacle sleeping bag is spacious and ultra light. Synthetic fills and down fills are the usual insulation materials in use in the sleeping bag. While the synthetic fills are better in wet conditions with lower water absorption capacity, it is also heavier. Insulation is better with the synthetic fills. But the down fill bags have a better heat retention capacity.

Choose your sleeping bag on the basis of what weather condition one has to endure. Sleeping bags suits warm to cold climate. In summer days you can keep the sleeping bag unzipped. At night times when the mercury dips, you can zip it up. But if in extreme cold climate, you need to choose a sleeping bag that can withstand extremely low temperature. The synthetic fill bags are better suited in wet conditions as it keeps the moisture away from seeping inside. The down fill bags suits a dry climate. Check the price and compare prices.

Camping is the best way to have fun in the wild. But you've got to remember to bring the necessary things with you such as the marmot pinnacle bag.
