Put a fitted sheet over that, or an opened up sleeping bag

Hi

we always take  an extra quilt with us and hot water bottles which are great and I sleep in a hat, if you take extra quilt and its not cold you haven't lost anything but if you dont take one and are cold you'll wish you had.  there's nothing worse than being cold you carn't get warm again and the night seems to drag on and  on. 

anyway hope you have a great weekend and are nice and warm.

If your worried about the cold a night, make sure you invest in a quality sleeping bag and good insulation between you and the ground.

Personally I use a McKinnly sleeping bag rated at -5deg comfort, and a base camp Thermorest mat and have not felt the cold at all and I camp all year round.

Snug or wot?

hi

last year me my hubby and granson went camping ..... we had sleeping bags on air beds which were covered by a fleece and a  sheet . We were all snug BUT my husband and grandson both had wet patches on the airbed in the morning ( now i don't think it was an "accident " on eithers part   

I came to the conclusion that their sleeping bags have a nylony in side where as mine is cotton . and the wet was condesation betwen the cold air bed and the warm bodies as both sleeping bags were dry . this didn't happen in the trailer tent with same equipment.
