-Only lay sleeping bags on an area safe from anything that could pierce or tear the fabrics. Ideally in your tent but if you choose to sleep in the elements, please us a tarp or footing of some sort below the sleeping bag.

-Look out for any way the sleeping bag could come in contact with liquids.

-Carefully use the zippers so the fabric does not get pinched in the zipper, and that the zippers operate smoothly.

-Be sure bags are properly put back in either compression bag or carry sack with draw strings pull tight.

-Keep away from fires.
