Kelty Light Year 3D 45° Ultralight Mummy Sleeping Bag Regular

Advantages: Warm, Extreme
Disadvantages: Size

...Ultralite 900 is just 1kg. But the weight is not a problem with the excellent nights sleep you will be recieveing. It says the bag can be used down to about -30, but i wouldnt use this bag anywhere less than about -15 (the comfort rating.) -30 is when skin starts to turn black so a high end down bag would be prefered in a situation such as that. When inside the bag it isnt that spacious, which can be a good or a bad thing, whichever way you look at it. On one hand it makes the bag warmer, but if you are a slightly larger person, then this isnt the bag for you.

Advantages: Massive tent, bags of room, easily packed away, doesn't take up much room in the car
Disadvantages: Freezing in winter time, obviously

...This is an excellent family tent that sleeps 4-5 people, maybe even 4 adults with a couple of kids. Very simple to erect and to dissasemble and pack away. It doesn't take up much room in the car which is a bonus. Light, airy, bags of room, and is much more convienient than a trailer tent ot caravan as you can just pack some supplies and throw it in the boot. Don't forget a nice thermal sleeping bag if you are camping outside the summer months. If you are going camping to Scotland in the summer months you may wish to pack the thermal sleeping bag just incase. If you are planing a visit to Scotland try Blair Atholl Caravan Park near Pilochry in Perthshire, we have been visiting it for over 15 years and it is a nice quiet and relaxing site.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, light, the back packers friend
Disadvantages: Bulky, can damage pride if mate beats you in combat ;o)

...These mats changed my whole life! I've been going camping for donkey's years and therefore will probably have serious back trouble when I hit 45. But these mats may have just saved me years of agro in the future. Of course, they aren't THE most important piece of kit (a tent and a sleeping bag are), they can certainly help you have a comfortable nights sleep- even if you happen to be sleeping directly over an unconveniently positioned rock. These mats can be bought for as little as a fiver. Don't mess about with these camp bed things you get in Argos and everywhere else because they are too bulky and heavy and these mats work just as well. They also have the advantage of being extremely light (as they are made of foam) and can also be used in armed combat with your camping buddies when rolled up! What more can you want? Only drawback... Read review
