Jon and I want to go camping and hiking, so we need gear. We tested out some sleeping bags at Cabela's. I thought a mummy bag would be too claustrophobic, but I actually really like it. I'm a side sleeper, so when I roll over onto my side, the whole bag goes with me. There was too much material bunching up on the rectangular bag, and I don't sprawl out when I sleep. I didn't pick a bag though. Neither did Jon. We also tried on some backpacks, and looked at the rest of the gear. We decided to do some more comparison shopping and to decide exactly what we need.
