Those Dry bags are good I have two, and are worth the money.
The genuine article is about 3 times the price in specialist shops.
Mine were £7 (ish) from Aldi last year.
I got two. one is enough for clothes for a weekend.
If its cold, and you are camping...
An Air bed is good, to get you off the ground (Where the cold rises from)
ie Sit on the grass and see which bit of your body gets cold first!.
An old adage from my 54 years of camping experience....
One Blanket underneath is worth two on top.
Especially if you are using Hippy roll type mats.
If you have a wire framed camp bed, hang you blanket over the side and down to the floor all the way round it. It traps the air under the bed, and
helps to keep you warmer, by not having cold air changing / moving under the bed.
Dont sleep with your head under / in the bag, you exhale moisture, and this will get you damp and the moisture evaporating off the skill will use body
heat for the evaporation process, thus cooling the body. Wear a balaclava, and put up with a cold nose. (Thinsulate Balaclavas are soft, and very
warm).
Keep your tent closed / zipped up after about 6pm. The sun goes down, and the air gets cooler and damper. Dont let this air get into your tent, and
things.
Keep your bedding away from the outside of the tent. With the modern fabric in tents you get a minor amount of condensation forming on the inside of
they nylon surfaces of the tent.
You dont want this touching / being absorbed by your bedding.
Hope what I have learned over the last 54 years is of some use to you all.
