How To Stay Warm In Bed

A sleeping bag on the cold, hard ground isn't as snug as your bed at home, but it can be. Here's how.

• Fluff your sleeping bag well before bedtime.
• Use a good ground insulator beneath your sleeping bag. Closed-cell foam works best.
• Put on fresh, dry clothes before crawling into your bag.
• Keep your sleeping bag dry. Dry you bag before stuffing it. If it's cloudy in the morning but sunny in the afternoon, spread your bag to dry at lunch or during a rest stop. Be sure to use a waterproof stuff sack.
• Wear a hat or knit cap to bed.
