Living history of the Ice Age Blog Archive How to store and wash the sleeping bag
My first sleeping bag was rectangular, for teenage parties, with yellow flannel lining, decorated with horses and flowers. After the first of my stay, I sent him into retirement: too cold, too heavy, too cumbersome two fold - and bought a down sleeping bag, mummy, two fold which is kept in kompressionnike throughout the winter. When I pulled it out next spring, my cozy cocoon was flatter than a pancake yesterday and less warm than my old flannel friend.
Regardless of whether you choose a sleeping bag with synthetic or feather-filled, so please treat it with care, as he deserves. Storage - After each trip your bag dry at least 24 hours before storing it.
- Never store a sleeping bag in his kompressionnike. The more you compress the insulation, the worse it is reduced, the more it loses its insulating properties. Very convenient two fold to use a compression bag in the campaign, but as soon as you get back home, empty your sleeping bag from an enclosed space, a good shake it to spread filler and store in a cool dry place. Spread it under the bed, hang in the closet or put into a large bag breathable (often comes in the kit). If you do not have such a bag, use a large pillowcase. Laundry - Wash your bag when he became smelly, dirty or badly matted, but not after every trip. For most people, this means once a year. Do not expose the sleeping bag dry cleaning, as harsh chemicals harmful to the materials. - For gentle and thorough cleaning contact your local laundry and use a bulk machine front loading. Drum that spins things in most home machines can twist or break the insulation fibers and fabric partitions (partitions inside the bag that hold the insulation in place). - Before washing unzip and move the slider to the middle of the bag on one side of the zipper. This ensures that the slider does not come off during washing. - Use warm water, gentle cycle, and 1/4 cup of mild detergent. Drying - "The key point is the extension of drying wet bag in the washing machine to the dryer," - says Bob Upton, president of the office equipment repair in Seattle. "When two fold the bag is wet and heavy, internal partitions and joints can easily be broken. Carefully reload the bag into a bowl, carefully trying to keep the whole bag, do not pull the part of the bag. Be the same caution when lying in the dryer bag. Prefer most bulk dryer, preferably a where you can squeeze yourself. "- For downy bags inside 6-12 throw tennis balls to help fluff deal. - Set the lowest and cold mode. To completely dry sleeping bag required two fold from 2 to 5 hours. - Periodically check the bag to make sure that the fabric is not too (piping) is hot and the insulation does not sleep, and did not work out a lump in one place. If he was going into a ball, remove the bag and dry it, lay on the surface. Additional Considerations - For those who went from sleeping granduncle: perhaps it can not be erased. To test the integrity of the bag, stick your hand inside two fold and grasp the lining. The other hand, hold the material on the front side of the bag and gently pull in different directions. If you hear a crackling sound of their thread or break, then the internal partitions (or seams) are damaged and need to be repaired before washing. - Bag with a spill-resistant outer membrane or cloth (with a waterproof or water-resistant/breathable shell) will score a lot of water, so be especially careful when carrying communication washing machine for drying. And prepare yourself for the fact that for the complete drying require 4-5 hours. - Detergents reduce the moisture barrier properties of materials. Treat your bag after each wash waterproof impregnation, which in the form of sprays can be found in Outdoor stores. two fold
