A Bookie's Confessions: Gideon Extreme Waterproof Backpacking Double Sleeping Bag

My Confession:

Living in the mountains near the Big South Fork gives way to plenty of camping opportunities. One of the best being Bandy Creek Campground. Growing up in such an area naturally my boys would be into camping. I have been thinking of getting them some camping gear for a while now. This sleeping bag is kinda perfect for them. It can be used as both a double or split into singles. They can split it up and take this for camping trips with their buddies or, they could leave it whole and cozy up to someone special. It's easy to zip up and down. It has double zipper handles, inside and out. For extra closure security, it also has a velcro snap. Another GREAT feature is it comes with two small travel pillows. I know it's more glamping with pillows but hey who says you can't have pillows camping. I love this because if I can ever talk my hubby into camping, pillows are a MUST for me. The inside of the sleeping bag is super soft with this grey flannel type material and the outside is made of water resistant polyster fabric. It's very lightweight and comes with a nice carry bag. Once you unpack it just fluff it up like you would any ordinary blanket and it puffs right up. Packing it back up is super easy. This bag compresses tightly for easy storage. This bag is seriously one of the best sleeping bags I have seen and the price is so affordable. I'm considering getting a second one just so we could go camping as a family ( big dreams, I know).
