Setting Up Tent Bedding: Free Online Camping Guide

Hi! This is Brian on behalf of expertvillage.com. The next step in preparing your tent for use at a campsite at night is to lay down your bedding. Now I don’t show it here for this particular example, but one thing you do want to do is have a foam or air mattress laid down underneath, as well as some additional blanket material. This will help prevent heat transfer out of your body. Two ways in which blankets provide insulation and heat is either through radiation in the case of the reflective thermal blankets, used for safety that I’m sure you have seen what is called loft. Basically what loft is, the density in the thickness on your sleeping bag. Fortunately, this is a cold weather sleeping bag and as you can see it has a quite bit of loft. To prepare your area for sleeping just select the area of the tent in which you want to sleep and roll out the materials. Obviously, if you are using a pad you want to put the sleeping bag down on top of the pad. Lay it out flat and then lay on it momentarily, just to make sure that you are not above any rocks or anything that you might have missed when you were clearing the area. That site will work. Now you can go on to attaching some of the other tent amenities, such as the cargo net to the ceiling and what not.
