Just as the Old west has given way to the New west – Cowboy Bedrolls have also come a long way since the 1860’s.
The old west that we tend to romanticize wasn’t quite as idyllic as we’ve made it out to be.
For example, the traditional cowboy bedroll set-up. Make no mistake about it, these have worked for over a century but while a system like this will keep the worst of the weather off, it’s far from rain and weatherproof.
Enter a 21st century alternative to wrapping a canvas tarp around. The Ranger Bedroll series from 5 Owls.
This is the Ranger 2. It’s an all-in-one bedroll system. Everything that you need for camping out is included so you can easily pack it in and roll it out.
It’s an all in one bedroll system created from High tech materials that are waterproof and breathable.
There’s a built-in sleeping bag to keep you toasty warm through the coldest nights
And there’s even a roof with a window for star gazing!
It even has a mat for clean feet and gear storage!
Enjoy the views at night and still be comfy if a storm rolls in!
We used the Ranger 2 model on horse camping trips throughout the summer of 2017 and found that it kept us warm and comfortable in all weather. We had multiple nights with frost and even dips into the mid-20’s on several occasions. The brisk temperatures made getting out of the bedroll a test of willpower!
