How to choose your sleeping bag?
Choosing a sleeping bag is not always straightforward: weight, packed size, fill… it is easy to get lost! In this article, we offer advice to identify your needs and choose the right one for you.
Key points for choosing the right sleeping bag
- The comfort temperature
- The weight
- The fill: down or synthetic?
- The upper-body closure system
- The compressed volume
- Shape: mummy or rectangular sleeping bag?
1- Comfort temperature:
Above all, the comfort temperature should guide your choice, rather than the comfort limit temperature, and certainly not the extreme temperature. This is the first criterion to consider when choosing your sleeping bag. 3 temperatures are shown: comfort, limit and extreme.
Tenerife: a winter hiking destination
For many people, Tenerife and the Canary Islands mean nothing but sunbathing, parties and surfing… But this very limited image applies only to a small part of the island. The rest, which is most of it, is a true hiker's paradise. Here is what you need to know, in words and pictures.
Raymond Rando, wildlife and food.
Raymond Rando! Behind this superhero name is a flesh-and-blood person: a hiker! Strong but sensitive, brave but not reckless, he readily shares his experiences. Today, Raymond Rando speaks openly about his relationships with wild animals. And his willingness to share when it comes to food...
I knew it! I have always known. It is simple enough: do not store food in your tent! It attracts small, and sometimes large, animals that you would rather admire in photographs than in person. You do not see them during the day, but at night they find you and readily help themselves to your food supplies.
