What kind of sleeping bag did you have as a child?

IowaStatePhiPsi · #1 07-13-2004, 03:24 AM

So my parents are moving to a new house and thus my sisters and I have had to go through stuff from our childhoods that our parents no longer wish to store (lucky for me most of it was not mine).
In the storage room of my parents' basement I came across my old sleeping bag- a camoflage bag they bought me back in 1991 as a Bday present during the Gulf War when I was fascinated by all that was happening.
My sisters' old sleeping bags wer there as well- Snoopy and Garfield.

Anyone else have a story about their childhood sleeping bag or had an interesting bag?

Haha,

My sister had the pink Snoopy one and i had the red Garfield one.

We found them when we were packing up the house after my parents' divorce this summer.

I should get it out of storage and take it to the frat hosue with me this fall.

We didnt have sleeping bags, we had 'snug-sacks'.

I have a green one I use now when any of us go camping. I have had it about 10 years and its in suprisingly good shape.

I had the ever-popular New Kids on the Block sleeping bag, then graduated up to a black one with a day-glo splatter paint pattern on it. I was so cool.

I had a real man's sleeping bag -- transformers.

Optimus Prime was on my sleeping bag.

I had a Get-Along-Gang sleeping bag when I was really little, and then I got my super-cool Rainbow Brite one when I was about 4. I was the wo-MAN.

Mine was a boring burgundy. That's what I get for letting my dad pick out my sleeping bag for me.

I remember when I went to camp the summer after 6th grade ('95), and some poor camper still had her New Kids on the Block sleeping bag. She got teased mercilessly about it, because by that point NKOTB were so passe and uncool.

We didn't have sleeping bags. When I went to camp, I had to sleep in a tent so I borrowed plain blue sleeping bags from a family friend. Now my sister has the same type of blue sleeping bags.
