If you just can’t afford a better bag…DO NOT GO OUT IN COLD WEATHER OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. The only way you would sleep well in this bag is if you are under 5’5″ and very slender and use it summer nights or maybe push it to early fall. A little entertainment ozark trail chair on the trail, especially when you’re alone, is a welcome thing. I’ve traded my micro MP3 player for the Jensen AM/FM Weather Band Radio, which works great, is compact (3.5 x 1 inches), and weighs just 4 ounces, including two AAA batteries.
When sleeping beneath the stars on your camping adventure, stay warm on chilly nights with the Ozark Trail 10F Mummy Sleeping Bag. This lightweight sleeping bag features a soft, insulated double-layer construction that is designed to maximize warmth and keep you comfy all night long, even in extreme temperatures. An ultra-durable, polyester outer shell and water-repellant finish make this adult-size sleeping bag stain- and moisture-resistant, ideal for backpacking and hiking trips. The mummy-shaped design with chest baffle provides optimal thermal insulation and is approved for temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
I’m on my second pair of Seirus X-treme All Weather gloves and I love them. Softshell material, waterproof (to a point) yet breathable, and light (4 ounces, $60). Thank you for choosing Wills Deals Liquidation Services for your shopping needs.
A shoulder strap pocket to hold your smart phone is a must. Gossamer Gear makes a good one that attaches to your pack with Velcro straps and features a front mesh pocket for an energy bar, lip balm and the like (large is 1.9 ounces, $22). To the pocket, I’ve connected the Koala 2.0 Super-Grip Hangtime Phone Harness (1.2 ounces, $34), so no more worries about dropping my iPhone into the drink or off some precipice while taking a photo. Bean’s Primaloft Performance lightweight crew socks ($20) and the X-Static Liner Crew Socks from Eastern Mountain Sports ($18) in my tried and true Lowa Renegade GTX Mid Hiking Boots. I really liked how I could cinch the hood and collar down to keep more warmth in or open it up to cool off. I also liked the two zippers, so I could open up the foot box if too hot or stretch my legs apart.
If they wanted to skimp on fabric, it should have been used on the outside and bottom of the bag! On the Pacific Crest Trail, I learned the importance of a GPS satellite communicator, and it’s been a trail companion ever since. I’ve upgraded my Garmin InReach Mini to the Mini 2 to take advantage of the longer battery life and improved satellite acquisition time. And it pairs nicely with the Garmin ozark trail chair Explore and Messenger phone apps for expanded functionality. First-aid kit contents get used or go missing over time, so I like to replace mine every so often. Armed with the knowledge and skills from umpteen Wilderness First-Aid courses over many years, I tend to carry a lot less, so the Medical Kit 0.5 from Adventure Medical Kits (3.6 ounces, $23) fills the bill, with a few extras tucked in.
