5. Fleece Sleeping Bag with Pack

Camping is a common, summer activity that people both young and old enjoy.

Luckily, Fleece Fun has come up with a solution for this problem with their fleece sleeping bag tutorial. A fleece sleeping bag is enough to keep you covered but still airy enough to keep you cool during a hot summer trip. Also, a fleece sleeping bag is incredibly lightweight which makes it much easier to carry as one hikes to their camping spot.
