Rectangular bags also zip together easily to form a double bag, or can be unzipped all the way to make a comforter. Goose down and synthetic fibers are the two types of insulation used in sleeping bags. Down is very durable, and if properly cared for, will last longer than synthetic insulation. Down models also pack smaller and are a good choice if gear storage space is limited. They are ideally suited for dry environments.
Synthetic models are less expensive than down, dry quickly, and require little maintenance.
They are preferred by campers who want hassle-free performance, for those on a budget or for boaters who run the risk of getting their gear wet. Coolers and large-volume water containers prevent trips back to civilization in order to restock. When it's time to cook, consider a double burner camp stove for boiling and simmering, or where open fires are not permitted. Other items such as a stove stand, portable cookware and a packable sink help make the chef's job easier.
