I have an extra wide Vango bag with a fleece liner. I use it inside out because I can't stand the way it grabs me during the warmer camping nights. When it gets cold, (winter camping) I either use it with a duvet on top or just use a duvet, depending on how cold it is.
Canvas tent, and never had it feel damp.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

cos I am a lardy I have a double sleeping bag because I HATE restrictions... being a 70's child and being tucked up in bed with feet pinned down pointing and not enough room to even move my arms lmao! However, my cheapo double has two zips so they can be joined together, making feet escape holes... BLISS

We take sleeping bags but we undo them and use them like a duvet, I panic if I'm in a sleeping bag, feel trapped!

We have cotton sleeping bags that we bought very cheaply from Dunelm when we first started camping about 6 years ago and they are fab, really warm. They're not mummy style, just the normal type, but I don't like being zipped in, so, sleeping bag open, but tucked under my airbed at one side and hanging down over the campbed at the other, tucked in at the bottom, all nice and snug

Last time I posted on the subject of sleeping, it was to say I use my king size duvet off my bed, and I wouldn't be parting with it.
However. While we were away last week I had the opportunity to buy a 3 season XL Gelert Pod for £15. At that price I decided to give it a go and was very very pleasantly surprised. I was warm and cosy, and not at all restricted in movement. No tangling when I turned, I was really comfy.
So I'm a convert to the right sleeping bag and my duvet can stay at home!

we are duvets but I have to admit if I got the chance of a pod at £15 I would be jumping all over it too. Well done whiskydry - must be the bargain of the week!

we've always used sleeping bags in the past, but this weekend we test drove our new weekender tent and instead of taking sleeping bags we took four quishions...when unzipped we ended up with two 4 TOG quilts each (8 TOG total per person) and i have to say it was lovely...the fabric covers are wonderfully soft and even tho the quilts feel featherlight they are exceptionally warm...i think we're going to be sticking with the quishions from now on...
