Children’s Sleeping Bags

Out camping with the kids? Surely you want it to be a comfortable and adventurous venture for all.

And least of all you definitely do not want to be cramped up in a single sleeping bag. Well then, much to your camping delight you have the kids sleeping bags – providing them with their own camping adventure.

The kids sleeping bags are available in more or less standard sizes, though there are certain companies that take custom made orders – in terms of size and design.

In fact a major part of a child’s growth and development should be the outdoors, which includes not only the games played outside, but also activities such as natural trails, trekking, hiking and camping.

Apart from bringing out the adventurous streak in them, it helps them overcome their numerous fears, especially pertaining to life in the midst of nature. It helps them befriend their natural surrounding, understanding how to respect nature, as much as they need to respect fellow human beings.

Most parents feel that by molly-coddling their children, they are protecting them from their fears. But the fact is that when children are over protected, they end up nursing fears and phobia. This is why when on a camping trip it is important for the kids to have their own sleeping bags, and with each trip the distance between the tents should be increased.

Apart from an essential requirement for camping, most kindergarten schools have kids sleeping bags. This is because, as part of the daily routine children are made to get at least half-an-hour sleep. Well, yes the pre-schools could afford to dedicate a couple of rooms as sleep-rooms, but instead chose sleeping bags, because they felt it was a means of teaching children independence and responsibility.

One would surely ask, how could kids sleeping bags teach these vital life concepts? Well, according to educationists, the important thing is to provide kids with situations where they need to take care of their own things. Laying it out, using it and then packing it up and placing it in the right place. So while getting some rest in the day is important for their health and well being, it also becomes an important activity.

Seat Cushion Night

归类于： Indoor Furniture, Seat Cushion — admin @ 12:16 上午

The first "seat cushion night" occurred during a wild game befitting what was then one of the game’s best rivalries, the Cardinals and the New York Mets. The game featured a seat cushion promotion for fans, and the giveaways were tossed on the field repeatedly over the course of the night. But the most memorable moment would come at the end. With the score tied at 8 in the bottom of the 10th inning, Cardinals second baseman Tom Herr hit a walk-off grand slam to win the game. As Herr rounded the bases, the seat cushions began raining down out of the stands as thousands of them were thrown onto the field. What’s sometimes forgotten is how remarkable the game itself was. The Cardinals led, 6-5, going into the ninth before RBI singles from Kevin McReynolds and Howard Johnson put New York ahead. Ozzie Smith tied it in the bottom of the inning when he stole third and scored on Gary Carter’s error. The Mets led again in the 10th on a wild pitch, and Tom Pagnozzi tied it with a single in the bottom of the 10th before Herr’s grand slam. Herr later commented on the game saying,Because the game was so intense, the Mets and Cardinals swapped leads multiple times. Frustrated (and excited) at every sway of the score, fans began throwing their seat cushions. On a few occasions the game had to be stopped to clean up the cushions, and at one point the announcer came on to announce that if anymore cushions were tossed onto the field, the game would be forfeited by the Cardinals. From then on the cushions were held onto, until the 10th. As soon as Herr hit his famous grand slam, almost all of the remaining seat cushions were thrown and rained down onto the field in celebration of the Cardinals’ victory.

Camping and sleeping bags seem to have always been a part of our lives. However, more than 200 years ago, camping was not even considered a recreational activity. Maybe if they had some of the sleeping bags offered today, things would have been different. Lewis and Clark changed that when they began their amazing journey across the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. We’ll never know what kind of sleeping bags they used, but since then, people have found “the great outdoors” to be a fun way to become one with nature. Sleeping bags also help make camping an ideal way to create memorable experiences with family and friends. In 2004, the President of the United States took notice of the great benefits of camping, and officially declared June the Great Outdoors Month. Just remember, whether camping or hiking, choosing the right sleeping bag is a very important part of your packing checklist.

Camping Bed - [leisure articles]

归类于： Camping Bed, Outdoor Furniture — admin @ 2:05 上午

After trying different types of sleeping arrangements at events, I’ve decided that the slat bed is the way to go.

My first exposure to a camping bed in the SCA was a rope bed. I tries someone else’s then I built my own. First using a straw tick, then a feather mattress, then simple 4-inch foam padding. None were very comfortable after the first night. The ropes would stretch and would be very difficult (not to mention a hassle) to tighten, which needed to be done each time I slept on it, so I decided on a slat bed.

After much debate on types of fasteners, I decided on cast-iron bed fasteners from Whitechapel Ltd. Though they may not be period, they are impeccably sturdy and I dont’ have to worry about difficulty when breaking down camp due to swelling wood (like with pegs) in wet weather.

There’s no little pegs to keep track of, and they don’t break.

The bed goes together and comes apart very quickly and without fuss, so it’s a lot easier in inclement weather or in the dark.

3/4″ plywood slats make up the bottom of the bed. They are slightly shorter than the bed so they fit in very easily. The rails are 2″x6″, and the legs are 4″x4″…though I would recommend laminating a couple of 2′x4″s instead, as the 4×4 tends to twist, making it a little difficult when it comes to assembly: it causes the fasteners not to line up properly.

I use an air mattress on top of the slats. Not period, but it is comfy & compact, and you don’t see it anyway. I based my measurements from the size of the air mattress plus an inch or two to allow for blankets & tucking, etc.

The little platforms at the bottom of the legs help the legs stand independantly during setup, thus eliminating the need for an extra set of hands.

The headboard and footboard simply fit into slots on the legs, they dont’ need anything to hold them in. Put in the head and footboard simultaneously with the respective bedrails rather than trying to fit in the board after the rail is secure.

You can decorate the head and footboard however you wish, and make the bed as tall or short as you wish. I used a jig saw to cut out patterns in the 1/2″ plywood head and footboards, and trimmed them with wood mouding and iron-on veneer. The finials I use on my bed are pre-made and sold at Home Depot for the tops of fenceposts but you can use anything. I also rounded the legs a little, again that’s totally up to you. I sanded everything well and put on a healthy coat of polyurethane to avoid splinters and weather damage.

Below are thumbnail drawings that you can click on for a larger image to see how things fit together.
