When I went camping and hiking a lot, I never took a tent with me for short trips in the summer. Anything less than a week and I’m fine with just a tarp on the ground and my Warm Weather Sleeping Bag. If it is pouring rain I look for some high ground and use my tarp to create a rain fly or just keep walking. There is something invigorating about walking through the woods in the rain.
At just over a pound and a half, this Warm Weather Sleeping Bag is perfect to add a bit of comfort to your hike, and even though it might be hot during the day, its not uncommon for the overnight temperatures drop enough to make a Sleeping Bag a must have item. Who wants to wake up shivering while waiting for the sun to rise enough to warm you up a bit. Sleep well, keep the bugs off you, and stay warm in your Warm Weather Sleeping Bag.
As a bonus, this is small and light enough just to clip to the outside of your pack if your already loaded up with food, water, and ammunition. It is also small enough that I throw one in my vehicle for long road trips. If I get the chance to sleep under the stars, I will take that any day over a barely cleaned hotel room.
We lost power this week after someone drove into a telephone pole. After texting my boys that we were out of power, one of the first responses was asking me if I was going to sleep in the yard. What can I say, my boys know me.
Warm Weather Sleeping Bag Scoring
I love this Sleeping Bag because of how small and light it is. It is easy to clip onto my pack or grab if I’m thinking about spending a night out in the woods to get a jump on the morning hunt. This Sleeping Bag scores a 198/1000 because while it is awesome, its going to have a low impact on overall survival in most circumstances.
