Dear Mr. Rawles,
Would you please address outdoor sleeping gear for women?
I feel like I am very prepared. However, the one glaring problem I have had my whole life is sleeping comfortably outside in about any season. When I was 20, I just didn’t care but now that I am 40 and have five kids, not getting enough sleep is not an option.
I would love to hear how others, especially women, stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The biggest problem I have is that I either sweat too much and freeze (doesn’t matter if its summer or winter) or can’t warm my feet enough and thus can’t warm up the rest of my body. I’ve browsed the archives and the internet and utilized some of those suggestions, but it is mostly men writing and I’ve read that women’s bodies hold and lose heat differently. Thanks! – Nikki S.
