Finally, we managed to get away for our first trip of 2024 in our Buddy.
We found a great overnight parkup but, although the scenery was...here's that word again...AMAZING. our recently purchased sleeping bags WERE NOT!
Music in order.

Never good at night if you’re old. We have sleeping bags that we have had over 20 years and they are still the warmest ones we’ve got. Take care Gill

Living full time in a car with no heating I’ve just bought a vango night star 350, I’m not a fan of mummy style bags but it has made a difference on the coldest nights as I’m in Scotland exploring at the moment

Wishing you all the best. It's so much harder in winter. It was totally my fault. Bernie picked a vango, but I liked this one better. We've always had mummy bags. Much warmer. 🙂🐕🚙

Crikey you are tough cookies, not managed to get out myself yet due to a twisted knee which makes scrambling around in my Berlingo a bit awkward at the moment (but it is slowly improving)hopefully ready for the sunshine(one lives in hope) I noticed you have wind deflectors on yours and wondered where and what price you paid,i have looked them up and the prices vary a lot. Really hope to meet up with you youngsters somrtime soon(i am a young 76)

Thanks it was difficult when Bernie had his knee replacement. Getting into a sleeping bag and like you say crawling around when you can't bend your knee. Our wind defectors are Climair ones.www.climairuk.com/citroen-berlingo-mk2-2008-2018-including-xtr-multispace-and-peugeot-partner-2008-2018.html And they work well at keeping down condensation. Hope you get out and about very soon. 🙂🐕🚙

Dear Tina and Bernie, nice to see you on a new adventure! We have two sets of sleeping bags, a light one for summer and a thicker one for cold temperatures with down inside ( I have mine since 45 years) and with both together ( one in the other) it has always been cosy and warm enough.

@the-other-windsors 4 ай бұрын

Thanks. Good to be back. That's now our thinking. Our old winter bags have served us well in even colder temperatures. So we'll keep these and use the new ones for the shoulder months 🙂🐕🚙

Hi guys. Thanks. Our original sleeping bags have always protected us previously at temperatures down to -6. We have a small oil filled radiator for use on EHU nothing for longterm heating offgrid. We do have an 800w Ecoflow, so can get quick blasts of heat with a plug fan heater, but it won't power the oil filled radiator overnight. Once in the bags (well normally) were fine. Getting up in the morning, however!!!🙃🐕🚙

Nice episode. We are about your calendar ages too. Our bulky winter bags are rated -6 C, our a bit less bulky summer ones 0 C. The way they perform, depends a lot on how windy it is outside, even when in a closed car. When we expect cold, we would even start the night with one, or even two fleeces on top. Having a heavy, high proteine meal before sleeping, will help to stay warm too. An open sky will make you feel even more cold at night. Lucky you survived! 😊

Hi. It was one of the cold ones but, we've been out in lower temperatures. Not pleasant this time with the new bags. Lesson learned lol. The black box is really a gun box. It's only 6 inches deep but enough to store. Chairs, table, tripod and wee just in case things. We haven't yet put a video up about it. It's fastened to the cross rails with steel u bolts. Thanks for reminding us to get that footage done and thanks for watching.
