Inflatable sleeping pads: finding comfort when sleeping on the ground

[Roger Caffin]

but did find great enjoyment in the simplicity.
but not so much in the suffering?

Cheers

No suffering, no story.

many years ago I slept on a CCF just fine

if you could find a soft place, like pine needles or duff, then a CCF would work

Thanks Roger,

And thanks for re-sharing your pad survey. I still remember when you released it -no one had done anything like it at the time.

It’s in-depth and thorough analysis compelled me to invest in a life time BPL membership,  something I’ve been grateful for ever since.

Now how do ordinary concerned outdoor enthusiasts come together to push against the outdoor equipment manufacturers raise their ethical standards regarding the accurate measuring of their gear?
(This also must include Gore industries and their “Guaranteed to keep you dry” stuff)

warmth to weight ratio

As much as I’d like to return to the Prolite, that’s a definite strike against it.  That said the sleeping surface is closer to the ground whereas the air mattress can “high center” a sleeper unless the wide option is carried.  Maybe it gets negated unless a dedicated side sleeper who can use a regular width pad?

CCF

And A simple and cheap option especially if klutzy with inflatables.
