Handy Sleeping Bag Hint
A handy hint for making the most of your sleeping bag no matter
what quality it is, is to get a bed sheet made [ sewn ] into a
Sleeve/envelope to act as a liner to fit snugly inside the bag;
this will make it easy to clean when you return home from your
adventure, just pop it into the washing machine and ready it for
the next trip.If you are like me and sometimes if it gets too
hot you can open your sleeping bag to let out the heat a bit and
still feel comfortable inside the sheet.A more warmer version
would involve the sheet being made from a warmer type of
material like flannelette for those cold encounters.
Survival Hint
A clever idea to keep warm if you find yourself sleeping
overnight without a tent or a sleeping bag, is to collect the
ashes and coals from your fire, built a shallow trench , pour
the coals along this trench evenly and backfill the soil evenly
and carefully to make a warm soil bed; not the same as your bed
at home but could make the most of an uncomfortable
circumstance.
Healthy Water
After dinner when you are all sitting around the campfire at the
end of the day, make some tasty soup , make some toasted bread
on a stick or torture some marshmallows ; boil some water for
the next day if you are unsure of the quality of the water you
will drink ; boil as much as you think you may need ; to kill
any germs that may be in the water and let it cool overnight so
the next day you will have enough safe drinking water and don't
need to worry about a sore stomache to spoil your great
adventure; it may not taste as good as red wine but you can
trust it.
Cooler Trick
When we go away on our adventures we always take along our
cooler which we load with bottles of frozen water that we have
already boiled and know wont explode in the freezer at home,
this way we have good quality water on hand to help keep the
contents of our cooler nice and cool [ obviously this is only
good for a few days ] and my wife makes a fantastic fruit salad
that we freeze in those square take away food containers and
readily stack to give us easy meals at any time.
Insulated Hot Water Containers
Before filling those insulated containers for your hot
coffee/tea/soup ; prefill with hot water to warm the inside of
the container and this will keep the contents warmer longer.
Silly Question;
What freezes quicker; warm water or cool
water...................answer; warm water
