New MoonTent Pop Up Tents brush aside your camping anxieties and make the entire camping tent erection process an absolute joy – especially if your slowcoach pals have opted for the redundantly time and patience-consuming traditional camping tents, with their intelligence-proof poles and mysterious leftover connecting hole-loops  that don’t seem to connect to anything.

The quick pop up tent nature of a Moon Tent Pop Up Tent means that within seconds your pop up camping tent will be all set up and you can get on with appreciating the countryside and/or raving your tits off. Perhaps set up your Traquair Camping Chair and then relax while watching others struggle and strive to maintain their erections.

All you need to do is bang in a couple of the supplied tent pegs for stability to preserve your Pop Up Tent against the windy gusts prevalent in wide open fields.

The differences between the terms ‘backpack‘ and ‘rucksack‘ often differ themselves, depending on who you ask. What I have learned from my many, many dedicated minutes spent intensively googling the subject is that it is amazing how many capably intelligent people can completely disagree on even the simplest of subject matters. You will discover my findings beneath the back-pack and/or ruck-sack images below.

Origins of Rucksacks & Backpacks

The word rucksack is definitely European based and translates into English directly from German as backpack. It is used far more commonly in the UK than the US and originally derives from the German for back, rücken. The post-fixed ‘sack’ has been word-napped before for other bags such as the single shoulder-strapped Haversack and the Knapsack, which is usually (though not absolutely) a smaller version of the backpack. The combined term rucksack has been suggested to be ‘perhaps 150 years old’ though how much basis in actual fact that statement has I have no idea. 

The differences between their appliances do have a military origin in that the ruck-sack was a back-pack that had a frame attached to it – so soldiers could carry extra supplies for longer treks and expeditions. A frame-strengthened ‘rucksack’ would also have had more attachments for cooking materials and camping equipment. It rings true in other accounts that the rucksack was a type of backpack, though there is debate over whether the rucksack had a frame or was simply a top-opening backpack that was neither too small to be a purse or knapsack, nor too big to be considered as a hard-framed expedition-pack.  

There is another school of thought that the newer term backpack is essentially a form of rucksack, being a top-opening bag with two straps for the shoulders.  

Regardless of the theory, in practice both terminologies are correct as both modern usage and the fact that most hard-framed bags are gone now, save for the really big expedition packs, as serious backpacks and/or rucksacks have internal stiffening. So ruck or back, pack or sack, it’s up to you. Ruckpack or backsack anyone?

·         Mummy Camping Sleeping Bags

The Mummy Camping Sleeping Bag differs from the traditional style of camping sleeping bag in a number of ways. Tapering from head to foot, the shape of the Mummy sleeping bag reduces the volume and surface area of the sleeping bag to improve its heat retention properties.

The zippers of standard camping sleeping bags are usually the weak point, but you will find the zipper on a Mummy sleeping bag does not go all the way down to the end. This special zipper combined with the tapered design provides extra protection and heat retention for your feet, which are the most vulnerable body parts to heat loss.

A drawstring and cord-lock at the head end helps prevent the escape of warm air, and within moments you will feel ‘mummified’ with warmth by your cosy ‘Mummy’ Camping Sleeping Bag.
