Keeping warm is one of the biggest worries for people sleeping in the outdoors. To keep you cosy warm this winter we have put our heads together and come up with a few great tips on keeping warm while camping this winter.

• Go to bed warm：Sitting around a toasty camp fire is one of the most enjoyable things about camping and as a bonus it will warm you up. If you’re not lucky to have a camp fire a spot of exercise like some star jumps or jogging on the spot will get the blood flowing. Going to bed warm will help you warm up your sleeping bag quickly and you will have a toasty warm sleep.
• Wear a beanie, gloves and socks：If you get cold feet and hands put on a beanie. If your feet or hands are still cold put on some gloves & lose fitting clean socks.
• Loft up your sleeping bag：To take full advantage of your sleeping bag its best to lay it out and give it a shake well before you want to go to bed. Doing so will allow the sleeping bag to loft (puff) up and give the bag its best chance to keep you warm.
• Sleep off the ground：Sleeping directly on the ground is a sure way to have a cold and miserable sleep with the ground conducting your body warmth away. Using an insulated sleeping mat will keep you off the ground and provide a warm sleep.
• Sleep in some clothes：Were not talking about a Victoria’s Secret nightie here but sleeping in a fresh set of Merino or synthetic thermals will help you stay toasty, as a bonus they will also keep your sleeping bag clean from body oils and grime from the days activity. I keep a spare set for sleeping in only and keep them stored in a dry bag for peace of mind. However don’t get tricked into putting on to many layers, as your body will struggle to warm them and your sleeping bag up.
• Food：Have a slow burning snack just before you go to bed (don’t forget to brush your teeth though). Burning the extra calories overnight will help fuel the furnace.
• Tent:So this tent is a good choice for outdoor camping, it has two sleeping bags and two chairs, perfect for couples camping outdoors-ROC-046

With all of these tips in mind you are sure to have a great nights sleep whatever the temperature!
