Being in the lockup isn't a bag night.

Does New Years Eve count?

Well, I've got a question. The last three nights I slept in my sleeping bag but it was in a cabin in the Wisconsin woods instead of a tent. Does that count as bag nights? If it does, I'm tied with Nowslimmer. ;-)


Will someone please define "bag night" once and for all? It might make the rest of this year's count easier for all of us.

Supposedly it has to be in a tent...I spent 5 nights in a cabin last year and it didn't count even though I slept on the floor.

I guess you could define bag nights as any nights spent in a non-permanent structure.

shelters or leantos count. What's cowboy camping?

Under the stars, like the cowboys. no shelter at all. Thats my preferd way of camping :) An unobstructed veiw of everything.

I've had 20 bag nights so far (in my brain)

Seems like everyone has different criteria for what constitutes a bag night. I count all nights in tents regardless of whether it's backcountry or car camping, cowboy camping is good (it doesn't get more bag-nighty than that, shelters only count if they are backwoods (cabins that you pull your car up to are not counted), sleeping in the car at the trailhead is never counted.

how about sleeping in the back of a truck at a trailhead? Car camping is fine as long as you are not inside the vehicle, eh.

I was planning on a trip, then it starting raining...hasn't stopped for 5 days now. I feel like I am in the NW.

Along with the 11" of snow melting that would have meant mud up to the knees.

If I sleep out in my igloo is that a bag night?
Nimblefoot

What if my igloo has a t.v. in it?



BTW, if you buy one of Matt's patches, and put it on your pack, anywhere you sleep counts as a bagnight.
