Marmo Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hi all, I am in the process of buying everything from scratch and need some advice in regards to bedding. Is the most popular choice a sleeping bag and a SIM? I shall be camping solo. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums. I hesitate to say this, but I don't think you are going to get the sort of advice you need here, as there is hardly any activity on the Tent Talk forum. Suggest you enquire on the ukcampsite.co.uk website that has a camping-under-canvas forum that seems quite lively. https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_forum_topics.asp?ForumID=32 This link may also be useful https://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/helpandadvice/gettingstarted/newtotents/ (I was perplexed by your reference to a SIM, but I assume it's a Self Inflating Mat not the thing one sticks in a phone.)

PaulD Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 There is an article here that might be of some help if you are a newbie: Get started camping: everything you need to know - Practical Advice - Camping - Out and About Live Although this is a late response to the OP, sorry.

rolinesmith Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Marmot Phase 20F Degree Down is one of the best sleeping bag. We used it here: https://wildkamp.ph/campsites/Rizal/Tanay/viewscape-natures-park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeleyKelley Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hi there! Congratulations on starting fresh with your camping gear. Sleeping bags and camping mattresses (SIM) are definitely a popular combination for camping solo. But don't forget that the maintenance of your gear is also important to ensure longevity and comfort.

Here's a helpful article on how to wash a down sleeping bag that I found at Effortless Outdoors: https://effortlessoutdoors.com/how-to-wash-a-down-sleeping-bag/. Good luck with your gear shopping!
