View Full Version : silk sleeping bag
Just bought a silk sleeping bag/ liner for a lightweight bag for £9.99 in Lidl's.
Good size, roomy on my 6' son, weighs next to nothing and seems like good quality silk.
Bargain :)
They also had a full size *thermarest* (feels heavy, I wouldn't like to carry it far) for £12.99 too.
Cheers,
Toddy
Good buy! I saw them too and was very annoyed having spent £15 on a silk liner from Singapore on ebay. The outdoor shops charge £25 to £30 of course.
Not particularly bushcrafty but they are also doing good quality 12 volt portable power supplies for £14.99 - useful for powering electrical things outdoors like tent lights. They contain a 7 amp/hour sealed lead acid gel battery so are quite heavy.
is that lidl's as in the food shop/supermarket?

I tried the liner out last night, they are very good for the money. They had 40gram radios with a built in light for 99p as well.

Ooops, should have made it clear, sorry. I *am* the missus :) My husband however, is very patient and understanding.....just as well really :D it's amazing how fast dinner can become surreal! Besides, I Iet him try the silk sleeping bag first ;)
Sorry about the divorce, stotRE

Sorry Toddy
I didn't mean to imply that you type in a manish manner lol (i asumed and we all know what thats the mother of...)
Only joking about the divorce(i get the thermos and she gets the patio furniture lol)
Cooooo, silk liner for £9.99 unbelievable !! Thanks for the tip Toddy :)
Like Toddy I bought the liner from lidl as well, tried it out in the living room. Doesn't half keep you warm, I was quite surprised. My wife is going to try and get another one or two for when she comes camping with me - she hates being cold.
As Toddy says they are reasonable quality silk and to my eyes are well constructed, double stitched seams - plenty of space for my broad shoulders, there is extra material in the foot area which is great as the bag doesn't wrap round your feet. For £10 you can't go wrong.
Cheers

I always find that by the time I get to Lidl's they have sold out.
So I went to there online store and they have different items including those log stoves that were discussed last week for £1.99

I tried 2 different stores today and neither had the silk bags :( But I did pick up a few of the log torches for the garden :D
Those log stoves look familiar.
Saw a bloke using one of those on beeb 2 :)
