Follow Camille for a weekend as she spends her first night in a tent.
Follow Camille for a weekend as she spends her first night in a tent.
This morning, I woke up with a realization: I've never been camping in a tent. I've already traveled by backpack, in a van, hitchhiked, but I've never had an adventure in a tent. It's decided: I have to live this experience that even my grandparents talk about. The good weather is starting to arrive, our next weekend is free, all I have to do is pick up my phone to take some other friends on this micro-adventure: the more the merrier, right?
To sleep comfortably in your sleeping bag and have nights as restful as in a real bed, here are some tips to follow before turning off the light!
– Dress simply. Usually, one layer of clothing is enough.
– Warm your extremities by wearing a hat, gloves, socks, or using hand warmers if necessary. A hot water bottle can be used as a hot water bottle (if there is no risk of it accidentally opening, of course!)
– Did you know that 70% of consumed energy is transformed into heat? By contracting your muscles, you can create a nice source of heat before falling asleep!
– You can also use a sleeping bag liner, ideally silk, to optimize the heat inside your bag
– And to find the same comfort as at home, don’t forget a little pillow!
