I need camping advice

AnchorClock · October 23, 2009, 08:34:56 PM

I am going on a backpacking trip and it is expected to drop into the 30s (Fahrenheit) at night. Will a sleeping back called a Marmot 25f regular be ok?

Get a hotel room and a smaller sig.

bring a hat.

God, I should have known. You guys don't go outside, let alone camping.

30f is hotter than 25f, so I assume the Marmot is fine.

If it's too cold just wear a couple layers of clothes.

If it's too hot sleep naked.

It's not that complicated.

We're a bunch of people on the internet, what makes you think we do much camping?

in fact you have an extra 5 degrees of warmth for you when yet you only need one.
so don't get greedy.

You should be fine. Just make sure the top of your head and your neck are covered. Also, if you put your pants for the next day in the bottom of your sleeping bag they won't be fucking freezing in the morning. Any other concerns? I can tell you how to safely keep a desktop in a tent.

sleeping bag is bad if u eat food that makes a bunch of crumbs: it takes forever to clean those out if you wanna be lazy and not step out from the bag.

so avoid that.

He'll be too busy freezing to death to bother eating in bed.

Sleep in the dirt

I've been camping since I was 6 months old (for real), you'll be fine in that temperature.

Although, I would recommend testing out the sleeping bag before going out into the wild. There's really noway any of us could test your sleeping bags condition. Regardless of brand name.

Woah me too, except I've had a camping drought for the past couple of years.
