Duvet Wars!

November 23rd, 2012

At Sleeping Bag Suits we get asked all sorts of questions and, the majority of the time, we can supply the solution.

However, one woman came to us, looking for help in the bedroom. After we’d got rid of the blushes we found out she was in a ‘duvet war’ with her husband.

The lady, she’s called Kate, hates the cold nights and prefers a thick warm duvet to snuggle under. Kate’s husband, like most men, generates heat when sleeping (it’s something to do with muscle mass) and is constantly seeking out the cold side of the pillow and the last thing he needs is a heavy duvet to sleep under.

The First Mobile Sleeping Bag

August 31st, 2012

Innovation is a glorious thing. It’s one of mankinds greatest feats that we strive to make things better instead of just opting for the status quo (no, I don’t mean those long haired rockers from the 80′s).

Think gramophones to MP3 players… Or steam powered trains to electric powered bullet trains which can reach incredible speeds of over 300mph… It’s not just engineering innovations which we’re good at either.

Back in 1947, the US Army were rather pleased with themselves when they introduced the First Mobile Sleeping Bag (see picture below). It promised its wearer that they’d be able to spring into action ready to face the enemy without having to fight their way out of a conventional sleeping bag first.

Leave No Trace Camping

August 24th, 2012

There is no doubt that there has been a sharp increase in the amount of people taking to the great outdoors over the years. Camping itself has bever been more popular! Yet, there is a downside to the increase in numbers exploring the wilderness and countryside for themselves.

It might seem like common sense to many of us but some of out great natural habitats are under threat from humans because a minority of backpackers and campers abuse the area by leaving behind litter, allowing campfires to turn into woodland fires and disturb the wildlife around them.

In fact, such is the damage that a movement has been started to make sure that people are more educated about the environment surrounding them.

Get Ready For Bestival Camping

August 17th, 2012

As we plough towards the balmy late summer days, there will be one festival being spoken about more than any other between live music lovers – Bestival!

This year, Bestival will rock the Isle Of Man between the 6th and 9th of September – a four day smorgasbord of acts to suit even the most eclectic of music tastes.

The majority of Bestival goers choose to camp over the long weekend as it’s included in the ticket price. There are plenty of campsites to choose from, all colour coded, so you don’t get lost. If you like your sleep then it’s worth noting that the blue campsite is designated as the ‘quiet zone’ – no loud parties in the wee small hours in here!

As usual, getting prepared for a festival camping weekend is a necessity.

As folk are working to tighter budgets why not make the best out of one of our camping bundles and save yourself some cash which you can then spend on more beer.

Our VW Tent with FREE camping bundle will save you £90. Not only do you receive a very cool and fun VW tent but we’ll also throw in 2 of our Modest Sleeping Bags and a Silicon Folding Camping Kettle absolutely free!

Talking of sleeping bags, check out our Comfy Single Square Sleeping Bag and Comfy Double Square Sleeping Bag (if you prefer snuggling up with someone during Bestival). Both are made from the highest quality of materials and their season ratings qualify them as ideal to use throughout the year.

Hands-up, everybody who has pitched a tent, then bedded down for the night to find that Mother Natures mattress isn’t quite as comfy as it looks. Well, if your goingto Bestival this summer then make sure your stay is as comfortable as can be with our Double Inflatable Camping Beds – comes with a built in foot pump so no need to dawdle getting it inflated.

We’ve noticed more and more our Musuc Bags becoming quite the ‘cool thing to be seen in’ at music festivals over the years and no doubt Bestival will keep this trend going in the right direction… You can get your own Musuc Bag by clicking here.

Need to more about Bestival, why not visit their website for ticket prices, acts, camping and so much more… www.2012.bestival.net

Ever Fancied Pig Camping?

August 9th, 2012

I know it’s not a question that you might get asked often, “Do you fancy camping out overnight with a few thousand pigs as company?” But it is one that Helen Browning from Eastbrook Farm is very keen to ask.

According to Helen, there are very few better things in life than awakening to “the sound of about 1,000 pigs yawning“.

Don’t Drop Your Sleeping Bag

August 6th, 2012

Thrillseekers are always on the lookout for new ways to get that adrenaline rush. Pushing themselves to new and often quite dangerous extremes to get that buzz. However, I’m not so sure about the latest ‘craze’, which takes camping to new heights.

They call it High Mountain Extreme Camping and the name says it all, really…
