A good nights rest is important, sleep well

Sleep systems vary in price range.  Keep in mind that you are saving lots and lots of money by camping instead of staying at a hotel.  Even the most expensive sleep system will pay for itself in 2-4 nights.

Link to buy

If you are worried about price, I highly recommend you start as cheap as possible.  Here's a link to an $18 air mattress by Intex.  If it works, it works!  No need to spend more.  If it doesn't work, then this section is for you!

Cheap air mattress

I've tried other $50 air mattresses

They will work for a while, but from my experiences, they'll eventually stop holding air.  Above are mattresses that have held up against the test of time (for me).

TETON Sports Celsius XL Sleeping Bag -25F

$98 (It works!  It's all about the "baffels")

At this low price, this sounds too good to be true, but I can personally confirm that this bag works!  I've camped in as low as -8 Fahrenheit and lived!  The reason this isn't nearly $1000 is because it's a large sleeping bag.  Compressed it's 19" x 14" and weighs 9 lbs..  DON'T TAKE THIS BACK PACKING!

-Dimensions laid out: 90" x 36"

-Compression stuff sack

-Innovative fiber fill, double-layer construction

-Baffel draft tubes work together to keep the warmth in.  THIS IS WHY IT WORKS!

Beware of false claims

TETON Sports Celsius XL Sleeping Bag -25F

TETON Sports Celsius XL Sleeping Bag -25F

Personal Story:

This bag I bought from a sporting goods store for $79 was rated for 0F.  That's the survival rating, not the comfort rating.  I tried this bag in 35F weather and it was miserable.  This bag lacked "baffles" and the cold pierced right through the zipper and my head opening.  My entire body was cold.


I'd love to test more of these sleeping bags, but I'm not willing to spend $100 to find out.  If you are a vendor and want me to test your product, please contact me on instagram:
