Sleeping Bag Vs Quilt

Hello everyone! I’m planning a bicycle trip from Florianópolis (Brazil) to Ushuaia (Argentina). Part of the route will go through Chile, and I’ll cross the Andes at one of the road passes. The total distance will be around 7,000 km. I expect the trip to take about 100–120 days, depending on how things go. I plan to start in November. At the beginning the temperatures will likely be around +25 to +30 °C, and by the end of the trip they may drop to around 0 °C. All my life I’ve traveled with synthetic sleeping bags — hitchhiking across Russia, hiking in tundra regions, and during a two-week cycling trip in Brazil and Uruguay. But now I’m considering buying a down quilt-style sleeping bag. The option that fits my budget and is available in Brazil is the Naturehike CW295: https://www.naturehike.com/products/cw295-down-ultralight-sleeping-bag The problem is that in Brazil it costs almost $200! And it can get damp. My old synthetic sleeping bag (comfort limit around +5 °C) weighs about 1050 g, but I already have it, and I don’t have to worry much about moisture. On the other hand, the down bag packs much smaller — about three times smaller in volume. Roughly 2 L vs about 6 L for the synthetic one. What do you think? For what it’s worth, I’m not particularly sensitive to cold. submitted by /u/SergTili to r/bikepacking [link] [comments]

So I’m fairly new to hiking/camping (have only done it a few times), and I’ve been doing a bunch of day hikes and me and my friends are ready to do some overnight ones now. So now comes the daunting task of buying gear. However, my biggest issue when sleeping has always been that I like to sleep sort of on my side/front and bend one of my legs around 90 degrees or more up. And this is quite difficult to do with the sleeping bags I’ve brought so far (borrowed) as they feel quite constricting. And so I end up just tossing and turning all night. From browsing reddit and recommendations I’m about 80% sure I should be getting a quilt. Specifically the neve gear Waratah is the one I’m looking at. Cold is also a bit of a concern to me. I don’t really plan on going camping in the middle of winter, but would like a bag/quilt that will be useable throughout the other 3 seasons, so I’d probably get the -8 option as I’d rather be warm than cold. I also don’t want anything super heavy (hence me asking here) But I’ve also seen people say that bags like the Nemo disco are good for situations like mine. So just coming here for any recommendations before I jump on the quilt bandwagon and buy the neve gear one, in case a bag is better suited for me. Tldr: I’m a side/front sleeper and like to bend one leg up and buying my first sleeping bag/quilt for camping. Looking for recommendations on if a quilt is good for my needs or a bag is better. submitted by /u/voixdz to r/UltralightAus [link] [comments]

Both of these are rated for 40 deg F (4.5 C). Both are fairly close in weight: Zpacks quilt: 9.1oz (+0.2oz for sleeping pad strap) and Cumulus Bag 10.6oz. Both are a similar cost. I am accustomed to sleeping in bags OR quilts, though I find a mummy with a hood annoying in the warmer months. I usually sleep on an inflatable (Neoair Xlite). I will probably use a down jacket to extend the range (of either bag or quilt) for occasional temps down to freezing. Which is more versatile? Any known drawbacks of either design? Thanks in advance for your ideas. submitted by /u/Adventurous_War_4055 to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

✨ Same bag. Same size. Same hardware. VERY different energy. ✨ When you line up OF Factory vs God Factory for the Chanel 25 Small with ruthenium hardware, the details start talking real loud…..so let’s break it down. Here we gooooo! 👀🖤 ⭐️Left = OF Factory ⭐️Right = God Factory Pictures of Auth: https://imgur.com/gallery/auth-ruthenium-MK7OZdc 🖤Overall shape + first impression OF (left): She stands up straight. Very put together. Gives “I didn’t sleep on the floor last night.” The shape is taller, cleaner, and just looks more intentional overall. God (right): A little wider, shorter and boxier. Still cute, just more relaxed. But she’s already been worn a couple of times. 🏆Winner: OF. She’s just closest to the Auth at first glance. 🖤Quilting (aka Chanel’s personality) OF: The diamonds are slightly bigger and puffier. Super even. Very plush. Very squishy but luxe. God: Diamonds are a bit smaller and flatter. Not bad, just less pillowy when you put them side by side. 🏆Winner: OF. Just the right amount of puff = more Chanel vibes. 🖤Caviar leather look OF: Grain looks more consistent and the correct finish. Has the right amount of sheen. The leather is much softer and more natural, especially in daylight. God: Grain is smaller and appears to have the incorrect texture. It appears more matte. Some people love that, but next to OF it looks a lot more stiff. 🏆Winner: OF! Her texture and feel is much closer to the Auth. 🖤Ruthenium hardware (this is the big one) This is where things get spicy 🌶️ OF: Hardware looks darker and cooler. Very true gunmetal. Exactly what you expect from ruthenium. God: Hardware is noticeably brighter. Almost creeping toward silver in certain angles, especially the CC and grommets. 🏆Winner: OF, no hesitation. If someone were gonna clock anything, it’d be brighter hardware. 🖤CC logo details OF: Crisper edges, cleaner shape. Looks more refined. God: Slightly thicker and rounder. And again… brighter. 🏆Winner: OF 🖤Grommets + engraving OF: Engraving looks sharper and cleaner. The metal tone stays consistent. God: Engraving is fine, just a little softer. Metal leans warmer and more aged looking. 🏆Winner: Crispness: OF Vintage/aged vibe: God 🖤Stitching + edges OF: Edges look cleaner and stitching is more even, especially around the flap. God: Still good, but you can spot a tiny bit more inconsistency when they’re side by side. 🏆Winner: OF 🖤Base structure OF: Nice and firm. Quilting stays even all the way across. God: Softer and a little rounder at the base. 🏆Winner: OF 🖤Final thoughts (aka the tea ☕️) Both bags are solid. No one is crying in the corner here. BUT……… 🏆OF wins in all categories and closer to the Auth with: Darker, truer ruthenium Softer grained leather with the correct finish Puffier quilting Cleaner stitching More structured shape God isn’t bad, she’s just not….ummm…OF. 😅 She’s a little more matte, grained leather is more stiff, and her hardware is a bit bright. So…..If I had to grab one to walk into a boutique or wear around people who know bags…..I’m reaching for OF without a doubt! I hope this helps! 🖤🤙🏽 submitted by /u/Weekly-Spend-4977 to r/OGRepladies [link] [comments]

I'm looking to purchase a quilt since I haven't been a fan of my heavy and constricting sleeping bag. I'm stuck between a 20 degree EE revelation quilt and a 25 degree ultralight Zenbivy quilt + UL sheet. Both come out to the same price at around $300. My biggest concern is that the Zenbivy sheet system wouldn't reduce drafts that much in comparison to using the straps properly with the EE. Would the draft free sleeping cancel out the extra warmth with the EE? What advice or knowledge do you guys have? submitted by /u/iBarf to r/backpacking [link] [comments]

I own a 30 degree bag (Marmot Hydrogen) and want to buy a 40 or 50 degree synthetic quilt to both use as a standalone bag in summer and layer with the sleeping bag in winter. Should I get a sewn or zippered footbox for layering? I don't know if sewn is better for keeping warm or if it would compress the down in my sleeping bag footbox and make it less effective overall. Maybe the zipper is better and you unzip it into a blanket to avoid compressing the down in the sleeping bag? I want it to be as light as possible - most of the time using it I will have some layers with it that I could wear to stay warm. I also have a Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme liner that I could use as a standalone bag in wamr weather. Let me know what you all think. Bonus points if you have an opinion on EE vs Simply Light for a 40 or 50 degree Apex quilt. EE uses 2.0 and 4.0 Apex whereas Simply Light uses 2.5 and 3.6. I mostly want it to be as light as possible while still usable around 50 degrees, but I'm a bit wary of the 2.0 Apex being warm enough. submitted by /u/royalewithcheese51 to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I'm trying to get into camping after doing a few long hut to hut hikes. I'm struggling to understand the practical difference between a sleeping bag and a quilt. Do I need to buy both or do I need just one? Seems like some people prefer just the quilt while some prefer just the sleeping bag, but the gear list from a youtuber I've seen (Harmen Hoek) has both on there. I don't know if it depends on the weather or on how I sleep or what? Thanks everyone! submitted by /u/ProgThrowaway00 to r/backpacking [link] [comments]

Hey yall, I'm gonna go sobo June 2026 and am collecting things now. I just saw a sleeping quilt which interested me and I wanted to hear yalls thoughts. I currently have a Terra Hiker Mummy Sleeping Bag, a bit over 2.5 lbs and supposedly 4 seasons that I've had for a couple years now, so obviously thats the cheaper option. Should I look at getting a quilt or I guess is it worth it? submitted by /u/Parking-Garlic-2398 to r/AppalachianTrail [link] [comments]

Hi there, I'm currently deciding on which Katabatic quilt to buy (Alsek 22°/ Sawatch 15° vs. Flex 22°/ Flex 15°). A few notes: I'll be doing all of my hiking/ camping from March until November in Europe (UK, Alps (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, France), Baltics, Scandinavia, Pyrenees...). I'm also considering buying a proper winter sleeping bag for deep winter, so the quilt would be used in three season/ shoulder season and maybe mild winters. I'm expecting night temperature of 20-40 °F, but then again, you never know if temperatures might not drop a little deeper than expected... As a quilt is a pretty big investment, I'm reluctant to buy more than one, so this one quilt should be suitable for all my needs (three season/ shoulder season + mild winters). I'm also not sure about which model to choose. The main advantage of a quilt should be that it's lighter and packs down smaller than a sleeping bag with the same temperature rating. I'll have to choose the 6'6" wide version, so it would be roughly 25,7 ounces for the Alsek 22°, 26,3 ounces for the Flex 22°, 28,7 ounces for the Sawatch 15° and 29,5 ounces for the Flex 15°. I'm no one who dwells on a few ounces, but I'm reluctant to spend huge amounts on a quilt when the diffefence in packing and weight compared to a regular sleeping bag is not really given. I'm also not sure about Elite (Alsek and Sawatch) vs. Flex. The Flex offers more variability, as I could just open it up all the way if it's to hot. On the other hand, it's a bit heavier. During my research, I've read different opinions on the temperature rating. Some say it's more conservative and you should be fine in temperatures near at or same as given by Katabatic, others suggest you should always add 10°F to the given rating. I know a lot comes down to the sleeping pads R-Rating as well, I'll be using a Thermarest Neoair Xtherm NXT. I'm really looking forward to reading your opinions and experiences, so thank you very much in advance! submitted by /u/New_Shower_2053 to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

Hi all, first foray into Ultralight and a general need to refresh a lot of old, unsuitable kit. Starting point is sleeping bag and mat however. I'm looking for a bag/mat that will suit me down to 0C/ 32F for UK camping into late autumn/tipping into winter. For now I'm generally refreshing and gathering kit for weekend trips in the North of England as late as November with temp lows of 1, and then a 7 day trip on the West Highland Way in early April, with temps down to maybe 5 degrees on average at that time of year. Bag would be a significant upgrade on a heavy, bulky, old synthetic summer bag. Budget is up to £250 plus or minus a few quid for the right product, thinking under 900g if budget allows - this is only my first go at getting towards ultralight so trying to balance budget against weight. Current thinking is one of 3 bags of similar weights, prices, and temp ratings. Mountain Equipment Helium 400 Rab Alpine 400 - these two are dead similar in fill power, fill weight, and price. Can accomodate myself in a regular for both as well Sierra Designs Cloud 800 20 Degree - poorer temp rating, but that zipperless design is intriguing, and the venting would help it be more usable in warmer weather. Mat sleeve is a plus. Would have to be a long length Sierra Designs Get Down 20 - value proposition is mental, but I have doubts about the fill power vs temp rating Mat will be a significant updgrade on a thin but light Alpkit Cloudbase with an R rating of only 1.5 I believe. Budget up to £150, aiming for an R rating of 4 - 5 Big Agnes Rapide SL Long - weight seems good for the R value, and read good reviews. Best long mat I've been able to find at this weight and price point. Flextail Tiny Sleeping Pad R05 AVS Regular Long - good deal available currently, takes a hit on weight Iritatingly, I'm 185cm/6ft1, 111kg/244lbs, which is proving frustrating as it is often just slightly too long for a 'regular' sleeping bag or mat length for some brands. Also slightly concened about shoulder width with bags. I know everyone will say quilt, but I am largely looking at mummy bags for the sales currently available. Ty very much for reading - look forward to everyones thoughts, and any alternate suggestions. submitted by /u/sunnybergelmir to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

Hi, I am starting to get into camping/backpacking and want to know what opinions are on quilt vs sleeping bag. I need it for weather that can get down to 40 Fahrenheit or 4 Celsius. I just had a few questions. What do you use? Why did you pick one over the other? What are the pros and cons of both? Thank you! submitted by /u/EvanLubeee to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

Hi All! Doing my first thru hike and I'm pumped. But making a decision on sleep system. I want to go with a thermarest sleeping pad, pretty set on that and not currently interested in the inflatables. So I'm making a decision on quilt vs. bag. It seems like a lot of the quilts are set up to be used with the inflatables. Was wondering if anyone has experience using a quilt with one of the thermarest pads? I guess my main concern is not having the secure attachment point and then also skin rubbing against the plastic. I'm thinking about getting a sleeping bag liner to go with the quilt, but I don't want to use that every time. Either way, do any of y'all have tips for keeping the quilt secure on one of these pads? Or are you just going with a sleeping bag. Thank you!!! submitted by /u/TrachealLube to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

I recently discovered quilts. And I absolutely love the idea of being able to move around freely. I am not a big fan of sleeping bags for that reason. Long story short, I have these two in my current shortlist: - Zenbivy muscovy bundle https://zenbivy.eu/en/products/ultralight-muscovy-4degc-bundle (although it seems a bit odd and the sheet is only available in L.. not sure that is going to be an issue?) - Cumulus Aerial 330 https://cumulus.equipment/intl_en/down-sleeping-bag-aerial-151.html Weight: Cumulus 483g (excluding isomat) vs Zenbivy 482g Comfort rating: Cumulus -1/-7 vs Zenbivy 2/-4 Price: 325EUR vs 365EUR I really like the sleep system from Zenbivy, but what holds me back currently is that I get more for my money with cumulus. I.e. the comfort rating -1 vs 2 is quiet big considering the cumulus is also cheaper. Although, the zenbivy down has ExpeDRY tech (water resistant) and the shell has pertex tech too. The cumulus one does not. If you go for more premium versions of cumulus, you can configure those options as well. This sleeping system is supposed to cover mild seasonalities, i.e. early - late summer. I might get another one for harsher conditions. Also, bonus question: what rating would you recommend for camping in Iceland in late august? submitted by /u/naratcis to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

recently spent 2 very cold nights in the mountains due to my sleeping bag being definitely not the right choice and now i wanna upgrade my sleeping system: using a nemo quasar insulated with R-Value 3.3 and my questions concerning down sleeping bags are: is there a huge difference between 600 and 800 cuin? is hydrophobic treated down necessary in both backpacking and bikepacking application? will a -2C comfort rated sleeping bag still be "good to sleep in" at 8-10C (so like warmer conditions. For summer, i have my thin one already, it's synthetic but good down to 15C, maybe bit lower) the products i am considering are Nordisk Tension 600 for 230€ on sale vs Nemo Riff 15 for 400€ on sale not looking for quilts application for different elevation, from mountainous, forested and valley/riverside areas thank you for your insight! 400 is already pushing the budget. submitted by /u/ollirulz to r/backpacking [link] [comments]

A few weeks ago, I made a post about going to ground after years of hammock camping. For context: I used to rock a Warbonnet Blackbird, but life happened, gear was sold, and now here I am, deciding to go to the ground this time. Fast forward: I’ve picked up a Durston X-Mid 2 (because obviously), and paired it with an Exped sleeping pad. So far, so good. BUT, now I'm overthinking my sleep system's final piece: quilt or sleeping bag? In my hammock days, I swore by my Underground Quilts (UGQ) top quilt. Thing was well-built and kept me warm down right down to its rating. But here’s my conundrum: I move a lot. I toss, I turn, I burrito, etc. I’m worried that a quilt could make me cold on the ground at 3 am. On the flip side, I despise the “mummified caterpillar” feeling of traditional sleeping bags. My arms need freedom! I'm also not exactly “ultralight model” sized with my size 36-waisted pants, so squeezing into a restrictive bag sounds as fun as watching the White Sox. So now I’m at a crossroads: Go back to UGQ—familiar, trusted, but $$$. Try Enlightened Equipment—the internet darling, can’t ignore the hype, but even more $$$. Outdoor Vitals Summit Down Sleeping Bag (15°)—this one’s tempting because it includes straps & stuff sack, and would save me some cash. Plus, I am seeing good reviews. So help me out: Any experience with Outdoor Vitals quilts or bags? Are they legit or just good marketing? For a restless sleeper who hates being trapped, is a quilt still the smarter move on a pad? Send help (and recommendations). submitted by /u/MississipVol to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

I've looked for a budget quilt for quite some time now and am pretty set to get one of these options Aegismax Twilight I https://aegismaxstore.com/product/aegismax-wind-hard-twilight-10d-5-degree-800fp-down-sleeping-bag-ultralight/ Ice Flame NXT 800 https://iceflamegear.com/product/extra-quilt-nxt/ Or maybe the Ice Flame NXT 800 with an open footbox https://iceflamegear.com/product/semi-standard-mono-nxt/ so now I'm looking for opinions for one or the other or even both. They're both kind of similar as they're 800FP duck down. The Aegismax does have a bit more down weight, but the Ice Flame seems to be of better construction and quality. The Ice Flame also has more buckles which seems more to my liking also because the Aegismax doesn't have any, other than the snap at the top and the straps. Maybe the Ice Flame with the zip is best since it's wider. I'm just looking for opinions to help me decide. My application is mid-european shoulder season and summer camping. submitted by /u/MisterFab1an to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

(Edit: sorry about the over the top click bait title!) Ok… If you know me, my gear system is about maximizing comfort but still decreasing weight. Quilts have been a part of that system since 2017, but in 2025 they fail me in too many ways. 1) Quilt straps are undeniably annoying. They get tangled, lost, they take time to position. It’s management time and I am lazy. I would rather watch that sunset, eat or just do nothing. 2) Yes, a quilt reduces weight by removing unneeded backside material. However, because of the hole in the backside of a quilt, you must add back in straps, clip hardware, & hem reinforcement weight. Some manufactures even add tensioning systems to limit cold air ingress. It’s never made much sense to punch a big hole in something, only to add in weight in response to you punching a big hole in something. 3) Quilts promise weight savings by eliminating traditional sleeping bag hoods, zippers, zipper guard tape, a draft tube backing up the zipper, and no unnecessary backside fabric/down. But, there’s a way to eliminate the first 4 of those and I’m going to show you why you actually WANT that backside fabric/down. 4) Cold Drafts. I’m not saying drafts are overly frequent, but through the years they’re just not welcome anymore. I’ve heard deep ultralighters (sub 6lbs) talk about how they have trained themselves to just lay on their back all night. That is not how sleep is supposed to work. It’s good to toss and turn to keep blood moving through your tissues. However, when you toss and turn, air can make its way in. At 35F/2C or colder, it’s going to wake me up %100 of the time. Maximizing comfort means eliminating things that wake me up. There’s a better way to do this. But first, let’s address the number one advantage of quilts. Venting! You can loosen them and drape them over your body on a hotter night. There’s no disputing this great feature. However, if I am on a 5 day trip, maybe one of those nights may be “too” warm. I usually choose the right rating for the trip I am on. If more than 3 nights are excessively warm for the quilt, then I just brought the wrong gear. Thru hikers don’t have this luxury, but more on that in a second. The better way to stay warm, but not too warm, and still ultralight is… A simple hoodless and zipperless bag like the Nunatak Sastrugi (I have 2,) Feathered Friends Tanager, and now the Gryphon Gear Full length Elephant Bag (I just got a 40F/4C for hut hiking this summer.) Go look at the Tanager right now if you don’t know what I am talking about. It is NOT a traditional hoodless sleeping bag. It’s a simple bag that you slide your entire body, feet first, through the top opening. There is NO zipper and both the top and backside of the bag are the same. In other words, what you see on the top is what you see on the back (more on that in a moment.) This is what I have started to use and I like it… 1) It’s cheaper to build, like $100 cheaper. 2) There are no back side drafts because there’s no backside opening 3) There are way fewer things to fail/tangle/lose/manage 4) When you sit up on a cold morning, the bag is covering your back as you get ready for the day (thanks u/laurk) 5) You still get the weight savings of no hood, no zipper, no zipper tape, and no zipper draft tube. 6) But, here’s THE BEST PART, you get two different temperature ratings in one bag! You may not know this, but a lot of bag makers put a little less down in the back than on the top (that or you can shift the down with continuous baffles.) Some even change the baffle height (i.e. the loft) from top to back. Gary at Gryphon Gear confirms this on my new full length Elephant Foot bag. The topside baffle height is 0.4in higher than the back side. So, it’s indeed a two temperature sided bag. Here's what my testing has found. The 28F/-2C Nunatak Sastrugi is accurately rated on the topside. Now then, with the backside moved to sitting on top of my supine body, it's roughly good till 37F/3C, with the neckline cinched. Then, if I purposely move down to the side, it turns into 42F/5.5C (neckline is again cinched) and if I uncinch the neckline I’m good to about 48F/9C. At 48F/9C my feet start getting a little warm, as it's really tough to move down out of either side of a foot box. Note: I'm just wearing a tee shirt and short underwear. I'm also in a higher humidity area, just off a cold ocean delta. So in one bag, I have a 28F/-2C side, and a 48F/9C side. A 20 degree (F) difference in the two sides. This should immediately sound great on those higher temperature nights I talked about above. This should immediately sound great to any PCT thru hiker wanting to know if they should get a 30F vs 20F quilt. Now, PCT hikers should absolutely get a 20F Simple Bag (can we please just call it a Simple Bag?) and they’ll effectively have a 20F and 40F bag all-in-one (depending on how the quilt maker designs the two sides.) I think continuous baffles are the way to go here. Despite my click bait title, not everything is perfect. AT thru hikers on a hot/humid night in Virginia? Yeh, you’ll probably want a traditional quilt. There are no absolutes here. You could pick a bag and add a little 20in zipper or go for a Enlightened Equipment Conundrum style. Although, it’s not like Simple Bags have ZERO venting. On a hot night at 8pm I would still lay there, let my core cool down, work the cooler side of the bag up to my knees, waist, chest and not cinching the neck line. Another con to simple bags, you will get some bellows action (hot air escaping) at the neckline. So be sure to get a neck baffle, but I consider that a must on any bag. Traditional quilts have plenty of this bellows action too through its openings. Lastly, you need to hit the mark on your body width. Do not under order the width or it will be too cramped. TLDR: A Simple Bag (and no, this isn’t a traditional sleeping bag) keeps you warm by staying draft free and it has a warm side and a less warm side. Ok.

What is functional difference between a quilt and a full-zip sleeping bag, with the zipper open? Is the quilt much lighter & cheaper (if yes, by how much %%?) Is either one any warmer (or less warm) than the other? Is it ever ok to USE the zipper?? Why, or why not?? My premise is, there's no functional difference & that zipper adds versatility, & warmth. I AM uninformed by any experience. submitted by /u/Cute_Exercise5248 to r/Ultralight [link] [comments]

Attempting to be as budget as possible while also packing well. I have an Osprey Aether 55 and got myself a new camping setup for Christmas (upgrading from eno). New setup is: WB Blackbird XLC, Thunderfly Tarp, and about to purchase a wookie UQ (still deciding on temp). My question is, should I buy a ~$125 sleeping bag and stick it inside the hammock, or is there any suggestions for a top quilt that would be comparable to a bag and would pack down to a decent size. Open to different thoughts and opinions. Could be a stupid question, just looking over options. Thanks! submitted by /u/Dirty_Sail to r/hammockcamping [link] [comments]

Slowly building up my backpacking setup, and the last thing I need is something to keep my warm as I sleep. Don’t know anything about quilts or sleeping bags so I thought I would ask the self proclaimed experts. I plan on using this for multi day trips, one night stands, and all around camping use. Going to be in a wide variety of temperatures form 80 degrees to possibly sub zero, so please give me your opinions on whether I should get a sleeping bag for quilt EDIT: just a little more info- I have a Nemo switchback sleeping pad and it works well( used it in 20 and remained warm all night, along with a night of hammock camping in 20 degrees with only a thin blanket( super stupid)). Also my temps were off- will need it for 50-0 degrees submitted by /u/Expert_Praline_1221 to r/CampingGear [link] [comments]
