    Think Outside the Tent: 4 Alternate Uses for Your Quilt

    Let's face it, the versatility of a backpacking quilt is hard to beat! From hammocks to hostels, campfires to sunset spots, quilts provide easy, portable, lightweight warmth. Here are 4 ways to use your Zenbivy Quilt this fall... outside the tent! 

    1. In case of emergency

    Keep your Zenbivy quilt in your car, especially if you live in a place where the weather is unpredictable. As we get further into the season, you never know when you might need it. If you're keeping it in your car long-term over the colder months, it's best to store in loose in the large mesh bag it came in. But if you're bringing it along on a shorter road trip, it's okay to temporarily compress it in a dry sack to save on space. Either way, just toss it in your trunk and if you ever do end up needing it, you'll be so glad you have it!  

    2. Around the House

    Whether you're curling up on the couch with a book or building a good ol' fashioned blanket fort in the living room, your backpacking quilt is just as useful around the house as it is on adventures. Throw your sleeping bags out on the floor for movie night or wrap your camp quilt around you while you work from home for a little reminder of the great outdoors. 

    3. Outdoor Sports

    If you're heading out to watch the big game or just taking it to little league soccer practice, a little extra warmth this fall can go a long way. Bring your quilt along and stay toasty warm while you cheer on your team. 

    4. A Guest Blanket

    Having an extra warm, cozy blanket to offer to a guest is arguably the best way to make someone feel comfortable and welcome in your home. Speaking of which, we've got a couple fun new products coming in 2022 that will transform your current quilt, letting you use it in even more ways than before. Want to be notified when those new products arrive? Sign up to our email list and we'll keep you in the know!

    Backpacking evokes images of overstuffed packs with gear strapped all over the outside - an uncomfortable monstrosity you're supposed to strap to your back and carry for miles. It doesn't have to be that way - even as a beginner backpacker, you can carry a sleek, lightweight pack by focusing on the essentials and leaving the rest.
