Getting Prepared – Sleeping Bag

The WAVE 2014 is quite a challenge. It is a 10 day challenge with participants sleeping in hotels, dorms, anywhere really that is provided by the various sponsor locations. This means that we have to carry with us a sleeping bag or sack.

I have a sleeping bag that is perfect for the WAVE. Here it is…

It is small and lightweight and designed for backpacking.

My only concern is will it be warm enough? It is a 1 – 2 season weight and so although it is small and compact… something that is important in a car with limited space like the Tesla Roadster… it is thin.

I shall take some warm clothes too so it should be fine.

More on my preparations later…
