Anyone tried one of these sleeping bags? They really do look interesting, as I cannot abide Mummy bags, yet the Envelope do sacrifice performance for roominess, as I found out last night in Wiltshire!! Brrrrr :(

http://news.sky.com/home/article/16154063 This story comes a week after my wife had to put herself between a dog and my three year old daughter. She got clawed and muddy for her trouble but my daughter was unscathed. The mid 40's dopey bitch of an owner was remarkably unconcerned apparently...

Hi can anyone suggest a decent inexpensive 2/3 season sleeping bag. Chris (my good lady) doesn't like the "mummy" type and the normal "envelope" ones I've seen seem to bulky when packed down. We have top box, only big enough to take 1 helmet, (thinking about putting a rack on top of it though)...

I see that Tesco have some competitively priced down Mummy sleeping bags at present, anyone tried one and if so, are they any good? I am gobsmacked at the small pack size they fit into :)

Hi all, Theres is some excellent advice for equipment and camping gear on this forum but I thought I'd amalgamate it into one list as me and the missus are off later in the year. I have posted it in the hope of helping others considering what to take when camping, and for your suggestions on...

I've been getting withdrawl symptoms since my trip to Scotland last year, and I'm itching to get away camping somewhere on the bike this month or Feb. for a few days. My budget will be very limited with Christmas, Tax bills due (plus need to start saving for a trip to europe in spring), so...
