Choose a Quality Mummy Bag for Cooler Camp Nights

When fall is in the air, you can enjoy some beautiful hikes on some nice sunny days without the high heat of summer, although nights can be a little chillier. Be sure to pack a good quality sleeping bag with the right camp bedding for a nice and cozy good night’s sleep. Planning ahead, checking the weather forecast and choosing a mummy sleeping bag with the right temperature rating is key to enjoying your autumn hike. 

1) Plan Ahead and Check the Weather Forecast

Checking the weather forecast goes without saying, but do not forget to choose your camp bedding on the assumption that the weather can fluctuate at least 10° in either direction. Plan ahead and take a mummy sleeping bag with the temperature rating of at least 10° cooler than what you think you might need.

2) Temperature Ratings for Sleeping Bags

Temperature ratings are given to sleeping bags with the assumption that a sleeping pad is also in use. A mummy sleeping bag will keep you warmer on cooler nights as there is less wiggle room which generates more body heat. Extra clothing layers do not always keep you extra warm at night. Raise your body temp a little by jumping in place and then get in your bag so the insulation can do its job.

3) Always use a Sleeping Pad

Using a sleeping pad with your camp bedding is especially important to provide an extra insulating layer in between the cold hard ground and your sleeping bag. Sleeping pads provide added comfort and warmth which is important for a good night’s sleep.
