Or at least can be “all about” the bag – sleeping bag that is!

I’m not much of a camper. Maybe if I’d had better equipment on my first few ventures I might have had a better impression of the experience.

Camping accessories have gone high-comfort and in some cases high-tech. For those who think “Fall” and think “camping” – we’ll have posts over the next few weeks with the latest in camping gear.

Here’s a great place to start – the sleeping bag. These comfy choices from The North Face.

Selecting and purchasing the right sleeping bag for your proposed camping trips is important and is no time to buy less. It is not outside the realm of possibility to say that the bag you choose could someday save your life.
