You need a bigger ten than it claimed on the package. If you camping alone, you need a 2 person or 3 person tent, if you have a family of 3 people, you need a 6 people or bigger one.

If you camping during summer, you do not need a heavier one for winter camping. Usually any sleeping bag is good for summer camping.
