Do you know how to use sleeping bags in outdoor camping?

Nowadays, outdoor sports are becoming more and more trendy. Many people choose to be a backpacker traveling, camping or exploring. If you want to sleep comfortably and at ease during outdoor camping, you must learn how to make full use of sleeping bags. When using a sleeping bag, there are many external factors that affect the performance of the sleeping bag. It should be noted that the sleeping bag itself does not generate heat. It only effectively reduces the loss of body temperature. The following conditions will help you sleep warmer.

In the wild, a windshield tent can provide a warm sleeping environment. When choosing a camp, don't choose the valley floor where cold air gathers, and try to avoid mountain ridges or valleys that are subjected to strong winds. A good moisture-proof pad can effectively separate the sleeping bag from the cold and wet ground, and the inflatable effect is better. Two ordinary moisture-proof pads are required on the snow.

The water absorbed by the sleeping bag is not mainly from the outside world, but from the human body. Even in extremely cold conditions, the human body will still discharge at least a small cup of water during sleep. Thermal insulation cotton will stick and lose its elasticity after being damp, and its thermal insulation ability will decrease. If the sleeping bag is used continuously for many days, it is best to dry it in the sun. Frequent cleaning of sleeping bags can be used to keep the thermal insulation cotton elastic.

The human body is the source of heat for sleeping bags. If you do a short warm-up exercise or drink a cup of hot drink before going to bed, your body temperature will increase slightly and help shorten the time for the sleeping bag to warm up. Only if our body stores enough calories, it will be more comfortable when we sleep at night.

Some softer clothes can also be used as thicker pajamas. The unused clothes that are taken off are circled in a long stick shape and placed on the side of the body. Increase the thickness between the sleeping bag and the tent, fill the gap between the person and the sleeping bag, reduce the temperature loss rate, and enhance the warmth retention of the sleeping bag.

Sleeping bags are essential equipment for camping and traveling outdoors. There are many kinds of sleeping bags, suitable for different purposes, and each has its own characteristics. How should the majority of outdoor sports enthusiasts choose? According to different uses, sleeping bags are generally divided into two categories. One type of sleeping bags is thinner and used for general travel or camping. Most of these sleeping bags are used in spring, summer and autumn. 

There is also a type of sleeping bag used in colder environments and even for some adventure activities. This type of sleeping bag is generally called a professional sleeping bag. Ordinary sleeping bags are relatively cheap and versatile. Professional sleeping bags are very sophisticated in design and materials, and the price is relatively high. However, if you do not need professional sleeping bags for winter camping or traveling to high altitude areas.
