How to Set Up Sleeping Bags in Tent Camping

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Charlie, your outdoor expert. So you've got your tent all nice and set up, and you're ready to take a nap, huh? So, first things first. You gotta want to figure out which direction in the tent you're going to want to sleep. This particular tent, the way it's set up, this way is a lot shorter than this way. So, I'm going to want to have my my sleeping bag going this way. What you want to do is take it outta the bag. Nowadays, most sleeping bags come with a stuff sack, it just depends on the style of sleeping bag it is. This particular sleeping bag is more of a mummy style and you've got more of your standard styles, which is just, pretty much just looks like a blanket folded over with a zipper around it and they work pretty much about the same. Another thing to think about too is the temperature rating of the sleeping bag. You kind of want to check the weather before you go out to determine what kind of sleeping bag you want to want. If it's going to be really cold, you're going to want to sleeping bag that's going to be able to tipper at least below fifteen, maybe zero, or if you're going to go up, just a little bit, summer time, you want something more about forty degrees because it's going to get about, it's going to get down to about forty degrees at night depending on where you're at. So what you want to do now is just take your sleeping bag and just lay it out like so. You want to make sure, too, that it's not touching the edges of the tent because if it's touching the edge of the tent, especially these nylon tents, moisture could seep through, right there. It's just that simple. I'm Charlie, and hopefully this was helpful."
