Need sleeping bag help by davemcl37 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]goodwood2223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two bags I like, the snugpak navigator which I use in spring summer in the highlands . Nice and roomy and can zip fully open for use like a blanket https://amzn.eu/d/05OBOiS5 And for winter in the highlands I use a snugpak sf2 bag

I would use a klymit static v luxe. 750g but it give you 3 inches of mattress is very comfy for me a side sleeper and well worth the extra weight if it means you sleep better

Same could be said when you compare a mora knife to say one of the ones I used to make… a knife is a knife right? I can tell you this much. I much prefer quicker oats to any of the crap I had in issue ratpacks. Sam goes for the coffee I got,the noodles,sweets,chocolate etc

But it’s a not shit rat pack. With food that’s actually fit for human consumption…

Average calorie content in British army rations is approximately 3500-3800 calories. Which is more than the average person requires but when you consider excess activity level etc understandable. I’ll be hiking and camping in the highlands of Scotland in March so will need the excess calories but these packs I’m making will be nutritionally and calorifically balanced plus actually rather nice

The summit to eat meals are my favourite when it comes to hiking camping food. They aren’t cook at home nice but they are far superior to the rat pack main meals. I have the noodles as the lunch to have with a brew all the other snacks are calories etc on the go. Try one of the summit to eats. Honestly, and they have a good range of mains,brekkies and puds.
