Hello,
Looking for some advice re sleeping bag/quilt. We're going camping in Sep, but travelling by bus so space is a premium!
I need either a sleeping bag or quilt for myself and 2yr old who co-sleeps with me. I was thinking of a double bag, but that will probably pack up HUGE, although I could get eldest child to carry it if it comes in a reasonable carry bag.
It would perhaps make more sense to get 2 single bags that zip together, and then it would be 2 smaller packs to find room for?
The bus drops us off at the campsite, so we're not going to be trekking miles with the stuff, but it will be awkward, so I'm more concerned with pack size rather than weight.
I have seen a few bags that pack up small & light (aimed at backpackers), but I'm concerned these won't be warm enough. The tent we're going to does have a woodburning stove, although to be honest I'm not keen on the idea of leaving it burning overnight!
I'd like a square bag as I hate the mummy type, and also it could be zipped out to a quilt, as I think 2 yr old would prefer this rather than being constricted in a bag with me!!
Also, what about compression bags - worth a look at a bulkier, warmer bag and one of these?
So any ideas? We don't go camping that often so nothing super expensive!
Thanks :D
