I'm new to this, just had a reintroduction to camping recently and loved it (it was wild camping as i'm lucky enough to have parents with a little land)
I borrowed gear at the time but i'm starting to put together a kit, i've acquired some utensil drainers for hobo stove experiments and a free 70l ruck sack, i'm now looking at getting a sleeping bag.
I'd like the option of camping throughtout most of the year, my friends may not be up for it but i figure/hope i may end up at meets/get togethers with BCUK members.
What are you recommendations?
I've seen the issue bags mentioned a few times and i'm watching a few on ebay, do i go for the jungle or arctic variety? what's a good amount to spend?
Is it silly to get a great cold weather bag if i intend to use hammock/tarp and may need alternative means of keeping warm (underblanket/coccoon???)?
Thanks for any advice!
