1. Choose a sleeping bag to cater for the majority of your journey.
2. Wear clothing, combine with a sleeping bag liner and locally bought blanket to upgrade a summer weight bag.

Maglite Torches
For a long time AA and AAA Maglites have been travelers’ favorites. Both, models made in lightweight, corrosion resistant, anodized aircraft grade aluminum, have an adjustable beam and can be used as a ‘candle’ by unscrewing the top lens unit. There are also bright halogen bulbs that are supplied as standard including spare.
Petzl Torches
They are extremely reliable. A fully adjustable head torch makes life a lot easier if you head for mountain climbing, camping and trekking.
