Hello again! This time I'll walk you through my bedroom. You already saw my tent, but let's start with two pictures of my inner tent, to get an idea of where I'll sleep. They aren't the best pictures, but it will have to do for now. So now you have seen the inner tent. As you know, I have quite a big tent. The inner tent however isn't that big, but that's okay. It's big enough to put everything in there that I need. So let's start with how my bedroom looks when packed: As you can see, I have two set-ups. Both consist of my tent in the middle, my sleeping mat, pillow and light on the right and my liner in the smallest bag (no picture yet). The first one, with the Panyam 600 sleeping bag on the left, is the set-up I'll start with. The second one, with the Liteline 300 sleeping bag on the left, is the set-up for the rest of the trip. The third picture is a comparison between the two sleeping bags. So, let's start with the Panyam 600 sleeping bag. The original colour is orange, but I ordered it in blue. This sleeping bag is shortened for me and has a comfort temperature of - 8°C. This is the temperature in which it's comfortable to sleep for a woman. The reason I start with this sleeping bag is because I'll be cycling the Pamir Highway. The highest point is 4655m, which means: cold! As you can see on the picture, the sleeping bag doesn't fit completely inside the provided bag, so I'm now looking for a new one. I'll be only using this up in the mountains. The other parts that I'm cycling will be very hot, so I won't need a warm sleeping bag. For those parts I'll only use my liner: a purple silk-stretch very thin sleeping bag. A liner is what you use to put inside your normal sleeping bag, to keep it clean. My other sleeping bag is the Cumulus LiteLine 300, which was also shortened for me. It has a comfort temperature of about 2 to 3°C. This is the sleeping bag that I'll use during the second part of my trip, from January 2017 till the end. Often this sleeping bag will also be too warm, but you never know when it will be a bit colder. Of course I won't sleep on the floor directly! I have bought a new sleeping mat: a Thermarest Neo-air Xlite Women. The womens version is only 165cm long, but that's enough for me! It's extremely light and packs very small (as you can see on the photo. Inside the bag for my sleeping mat I also put my pillow, with a buff to make it softer and a headlight. This all fits in the small bag, so that's very useful! The pillow is a bit big, but I got it very cheap and it is a good one, so I'll keep it. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my entire set-up while camping, so I can't show you a complete picture. In June I hope to do a small camping trip, in which I'll try to take the necessary pictures! So if you want to have pictures of certain items: let me know! :)
See you next time!
