REI Zonk +25 Sleeping Bag

The sleeping bag I have is the REI Zonk +25 Kid's Sleeping Bag.  I've had it for two years and use it for camping.  It keeps me warm when it's cold out and it is comfortable. I like that it is a mummy style sleeping bag.   It's easy to zip and unzip so I can get in and out of it easily.  I can pack it back in its stuff sack without any help from dad.  It's the perfect sized sleeping bag for me.



The AdventureKid Details: from www.rei.com:
  • Water-resistant ripstop nylon shell offers durability with abrasion and tear resistance for years of use
  • Lined with smooth taffeta for comfort against skin
  • Mummy shape is thermally efficient, yet roomy enough from shoulder to knee to ensure sleeping comfort
  • Contoured hood, face muffler, roomy footbox, ground-level seams and full-length draft tube hold body heat in, cold drafts out; features an antisnag zipper
  • Exterior chest pocket is great for stowing small necessities such as your watch, eyeglasses and lip balm, alleviating middle-of-the-night fumbling
  • Special pocket can be stuffed with extra clothing to make a pillow that stays in place; no need for a pillow to take up valuable space in your backpack
  • Nylon stuff sack and cotton storage bag included

    Salomon XA Pro Shoes

    My favorite shoes are my Salomon XA Pro Shoes.  I wear them everywhere.  They are good for hiking in the woods and running at school.  They keep my feet warm and are comfortable. I like that I don't have to tie them - they have a cool Quicklace system and I can tighten them with one pull.   I'm on my second pair - I outgrew my other ones.

    • Breakaway lace system
    • Mud guard around bottom of shoe
    • Protective synthetic toe cap
    • Quickfit lace system with storage pocket
    • 3D stretch air mesh for breathability

    Hi! My name is Grant and I'll be 9 years old in 20 days!  I love the outdoors and riding bikes and like to try out new gear.  I get to go on lots of fun adventures with my dad, mom and little sister.  We go hiking, canoeing, camping, mountain biking, and other stuff too.  I wanted to tell you about the fun places we go and about my favorite gear I've used along the way.
