What do you Sleep on While Camping?

[gudspelr]

An OLD canvas and wood Army cot and a canvas bedroll with several inches of memory foam.  Nice and comfy....

Same as Killy, I take a huge goosedown comforter that I throw over the sleeping bag when it gets really cold. Those big air mattresses are better sleeping than the bed at home . Only problem I have is , Its hard to get up in the morning. Cold mountain air, warm sleeping bag and comfortable bed. Thats living man!!!!!

usually just my sleeping bag no pad no tent. times in the tee-pee ive used an old stretcher keeps me about four inches off the ground,but usually i just throw down some old burlap bags with a wool blanket and sleep on top of that in my sleeping bag .

Tuning your bedroll is just as important as tuning your bow.


Both should create a feeling of warmth, comfort, and joy.


Everything's right with the world when your in your bedroll, because you're hunting or fishing. Creates a pavlovian "Happy Sleeping" response that reinforces itself everytime you go somewhere.

I use a Rolla Cot with a 1 1/2" therma rest.
I like the rolla  cot due to it's toughness and it only has 4 legs ( better for uneven ground)
You can ajust how much cup it has for your therma rest.

Kathy, I love that pic of you roughing it

A large comfy Cabelas cot and a really great sleeping bag-can't wait!

Cheap cot, cheap pad, luxurious down sleeping bag (military surplus) and I have a cozy fleece warm weather sleeping bag tucked inside of the down bag for really cold weather.  December in Iowa in a tent is not for the timid.

If I'm in my tent, I use a Thermarest pad then my -40 sleeping bag.

If I'm fortunate enough to have my camper "which is rare because of the 30' size" I'll sleep in the Queen bed.

Not as nice in the pic department, but very similar set up to what Killdeer uses.... queen size air mattress, couple of furniture pads for insulation against cold, fitted sheet, top sheet, down sleeping bag.
     

In the last couple of years I've been using a Cabela's tent cot and find it to be very weather tight and comfy.

Have an old army cot too. Sleeping bag or quilts depending on the weather.......Randy

Check out the disc-o cot from Cabelas. It stacks as bunk bed and you will find no stronger or better cot. Can be used as two seperate cots and also comes in a single model but Cabelas do not sell single model. Do search for disc-o cot. Originally designed and used for military and medical use. Not a back packing cot by anymeans but definatley the toughest/strongest cot going. They do not squeak or make any noises.

This is my father's birthday present a couple of years ago, I have used it and it works great.

I really like the hamack and rainfly.  I bet I would have used the heck out of it in the past.  Nowdays if I slept in a hamack for a night I doubt I'd be able to walk upright the next day.

And Killie has been giving ME a hard time about wanting to stay in a hotel room....

This was brought up on the "other site."  My response was don't camp.  Drive.  Camp only if your hunting ground is inaccessible by vehicle.  I did it as a kid, but I grew out of spending nights without a bathroom.

You will freeze sleeping on an air mattress in Ohio.  Cots will freeze you in a tent too.  I have used both.  One other poster mentioned the Big Agnes.  I have one of those too.  It's the best camping investment I have ever made.  I got the biggest pad they make and it folds and rolls up to roughly the size of a quart jar.  It's insulated, is 2.5" thick when inflated.  It's awesome.  A friend of mine has a thermarest.  He took one look at my Big Agnes, laid on it for a couple minutes and ordered one as soon as we broke camp.  Combine that with a good bag, and you'll be ready to roll out and hunt the next morning.  My pad and my North Face Goliath 0 degree bag make for a great nights sleep.
