How to keep warm while sleeping in a tent

Looking to keep yourself warm as you sleep under the stars? Don’t worry, you got this.

Hot days and cool nights are the norm for camping trips, if you find yourself left in the cold here are a few ways to stay warm. 

1. Avoid going to bed in the same clothes you wore during the day on your adventures

your clothes have collected your sweat and in the cold of night you want to be as dry as possible.

2. Make sure to eat a big hearty meal before calling it a night. 

High calorie and fatty foods provide heat for your body throughout the night.

3. If your teeth are still chattering, take a water bottle filled with warm water and place it in the bottom of your sleeping. 

Ensure proper insulation by utilizing a mummy sleeping bag or a liner. 

4. During sleep your body cools down with heat escaping from your extremities

try wearing a toque to keep your head warm and even drape an extra jacket over top of your sleeping bag if need be. 

Do the obvious, pile on more blankets, clothes and socks to increase your warmth. 

Although you may think you’re warming yourself up by breathing into your sleeping bag, your breath creates moisture and dampness, which in turn can make you feel even colder! Keep your mouth outside your sleeping bag.

Sleep in comfort – you got this.
