A Bushcraft Bedroll Vs. A Sleeping Bag
At first, looking at a bedroll might have you thinking it's no different than a sleeping bag. While they're both great for sleeping in a flat area of your camp, they definitely have a few key differences. Let's go through each of them so you can decide what you want and need for your next trip:
Material
- A bedroll is usually made of canvas fabric and designed to be rolled up for easy mobility while hiking and traveling. In many cases, this bedding bundle can come with or even have foam padding installed to improve the comfort level.
- A sleeping bag consists of a synthetic material cover, usually nylon, with a thick insulating layer in between. They're strongly favored because they are so lightweight and easy to pack.
Function
- Bedrolls are best suited for rugged, dry environments and long-term camping scenarios like distant hikes and horse packing trips.
- Sleeping bags are great for backpackers, hikers, and campers who want to keep warm in cold weather, such as on cross-country skiing or mountain climbing excursions.
Which To Choose & When
- Bedrolls are ideal for longer trips on rough terrain, where you need a durable, versatile, and comfortable sleeping system.
- Sleeping bags are best for extreme conditions where insulation is needed to beat the cold. They’re also recommended for more low-key outdoor excursions that require lightweight and compact bags, like car camping or frontwoods camping at a park.
The Essentials, Accessories, & Premium Picks
Our blanket and bedroll collections include several extras you should consider adding to your gear on your next camping trip.
Below, we split everything between the basics you need, the optional pieces you could put to good use, and the high-quality items that will take your trip to the next level.

Your Essentials for Outdoor Survival & Camping
Wool Blankets
What better fabric for camping is there than wool? It keeps you dry in wet conditions and warm when it’s extremely cold. Wool is also fire-resistant, naturally breathable, and lasts for years when treated properly. SRO provides a variety of reliable wool blankets, such as our OD 70% Wool Blanket, which has higher levels of wool and provides better waterproofing, durability, and fire resistance.
Sleeping Bags
The most classic piece of camping gear that everyone recognizes is the sleeping bag. Simple, portable, and comfortable, it provides you with the right amount of insulation to sleep in almost any condition. Plus, it’s often lightweight enough for you to take on camping trips of any duration.
At SRO, we provide durable, high-quality sleeping bags in regular, superlight, and ultralight options so that you can easily travel anywhere. Simply pack one away in your rucksack.
Survival/Emergency Blankets
They go by many names, but these thin sheets made of reflective or lightweight materials are a necessity for those looking to pack super lightweight camping gear. With some twine, these blankets are incredibly versatile. Here’s how you can use them:
- To provide a source of shelter against high winds or rain
- To conserve body heat by reflecting it back to you
- In some cases, they can serve as a makeshift hammock (depending on their material. Reflective emergency blankets should not be used this way.)
Optional Accessories for Comfort & Ease
Along with the above sleeping essentials, SRO has a few other additions you can make to your camping gear. These items help smooth over the rougher aspects of outdoor survival:
- Bedroll Mattress — SRO's Pathfinder inflatable bedroll mattress vastly increases comfort while remaining compact and lightweight for heavy treks in the wilderness.
- Bedroll Straps — Transport your bedrolls easily with a set of straps that wrap around and keep them in place while you hike through the woods.
- Waterproof Ground Covers — Keep yourself and your gear dry by adding a layer of waterproof material underneath your bed rolls. These ground covers, matched with overhead tarps or tents, help ensure you stay comfortable and dry even under the most extreme conditions.
Our Premium Choices
Finally, below are a few of our premium items that are built to last for decades of outdoor ventures. Made for high performance and excellent comfort, you won't find better gear for sleeping outdoors:
Quillow Deluxe Blanket/Pillow
For high versatility and comfort, trust UGQ's Quillow (short for "Quilt" and "Pillow"). This piece of gear opens up into a full-sized blanket made of well-insulated, ultralight fabric. Every stitch is handmade at the manufacturer's facility in Michigan. As its name suggests, it can also fold into a great pillow for you to use along with your bushcraft bedroll.
Oilskin Cowboy Bedrolls
No need for bivvy bags, tarps, tents, or anything else. Just use this classic bedroll made for cowboys in the Old West (and now, you!). Sleep in comfort under the stars on a canvas bedroll made from heavy-duty waxed cotton canvas.
Our oilskin finish process ensures it remains highly durable and water-repellent for years, helping you get the comfort and performance you need while trekking through the wild. In addition, you also get a premium 100% Spanish leather bedroll carrier, so you can easily pack it along with the rest of your outdoor survival gear.
