Sleep Systems for Backpack Hunting (Gear, Tips, & Tricks) — The Experience Project [EXP004]

Sleep is an important aspect of being able to hunt your best each day on a multiday backpack hunt. But getting quality sleep in the backcountry often doesn't come easy. Not only can your sleeping gear affect your sleep quality, but your gear choices also play a big role in how much weight and bulk is in your pack.

In this video, we discuss the gear to consider for your sleep system, how to get the best performance out of that gear, and some tips for improving your sleep quality on your next backpack hunt.

If you want to hear an even more in-depth discussion on these topics, you will find a podcast with Steve & Mark, as well as more info at: https://the-experience-project.com/sl...
