My dcs have just started Beavers and have their first camp in the Autumn, and I've been talked into helping out. I'm trying to plan ahead and get their sleeping bags sorted as it's the biggest expense after the trip itself. I have no clue whatsoever about camping and the sleeping bag ratings are really confusing as some are gsm and others are seasons and I can't find a comparison.
They're going early October and as they're Beavers they sleep inside rather than in tents so it'll be a bit warmer. From what I've read we'd need season 3 sleeping bags for that time of year.
For me I'm looking at a 350 gsm sleeping bag with hood and a separate liner, the info for the sleeping bag doesn't say what temperature it would be okay for and reviews say either season 2 or season 2-3. Do you think this would be okay for me in the circumstances? I'm a hot person generally but I've never camped so not sure if this would be warm enough.
Aby suggestions for the kids would be gladly received too, one is a very warm person and rarely has the covers on even in winter.
Thanks for any help.
