Biggest Outdoor Industry Lies! (Beginner Camping & Backpackers Don't Be Duped!)

Outdoor companies lie about these two things! Tents and Sleeping Bags. Beginners, listen up! They really tell you the limit rating on the sleeping bag as their marketed temperature rating. DO NOT TRUST WHAT THE BAGS MARKETED RATING IS! Always add 10 degrees to the bag rating. So if it is a 20 degree bag, it will really be comfortable in 30 degree temperatures. The second biggest lie is tents. They market these tents as 2 person, 3 person, 4 person, 5 person, etc. If you want to feel like a sardine, believe them. If you want space and comfort, subtract one off what they say. So a 2 person tent is really for 1 person. This is the best advice I can give beginners. I have used MSR, Big Agnes, Nemo, Marmot, Kelty, Eureka and many other tents. I have used Eddie Bauer, Therm-a-Rest, Valandre, Sierra Designs, Mountain Hardwear, Vaude, Kifaru and many other sleeping bags. Have a great trip backpacking, camping or overlanding into the outdoors!
