Jamie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 all this cold protection is quite academic....I am observing with a t-shirt...and a light jacket to keep the cold out...You are obviously not from my neck of the woods then.....

Astro_Baby Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The other thing to consider for a good nights sleep when camping is a wide mouthed completely watertight bottle marked with a very large and obvious letter P, so that you don't have to go traipsing around the site in the middle of the night..... For us girls its a bucket - its just like being in Holloway really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highflight Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Im thinking of buying a raised campbed with legs, (Vango campbed).Would these beds 'puncture' the tent groundsheet with the weight of a person on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parus major Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It has been known.A solution is to use jam jar lids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu57 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Ian and I slept on this at SGL6.http://www.winfieldsmegastore.com/coleman-queen-size-raised-quickbed-p-205080-c-not-applicable.htmlWe had two warm, comfortable nights' sleep - with no 'roll together'!It's as big as my double bed at home and it's really thick. With a quilted underblanket and a sleeping bag under us, as well as a duvet and thermal blanket on top, we were toasty.Luxury indeed....mmmmm....

nightfisher Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 any one used the "readybed range", its an inflatable with duvet fitted, removes for washing and comes with a battery pump to inflate, i use a double when my lass comes with me fishing and we sleep pretty well on it, though it loses a little air overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeknowle Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If doing on the cheap as you say, you can also put hypothermia foil sheet under your airbed (otherwise known as bacofoil), and the old explorer trick of zipping you spare jacket up and putting the bottom of your sleeping bag in it to keep you feet extra warm.

Parus major Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Done that and it works wonders.Another one is puuting the clothes you just took off and rolling. Them losely to pack the sleeping bag's compression carry bag to make a pillow. Keeps the tent tidy, stops your clothes getting damp and goes an extra mile to letting you forget that you're freezing and in a muddy field.

I really like the look of it, but that's me lol! Aerobeds are apparently the best airbeds out there....expensive though I like the headboard and the height, more like a proper bed I also use the silver thermal blankets on my airbeds, I put some picnic rugs down on the floor first, then airbed, silver thermal sheet under the sleeping bag....and if i'm really feeling cold I put another sleeping bag inside the other one....toasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
