Ditch your sleeping bag. Instead, use a combination of sheets and fleece blankets. Much more comfortable at little or no weight penalty. Sew an old sheet into a sleeve to cover your camping pad. If you just throw a sheet over a camping pad, it'll creep overnight and you'll end up sleeping on the pad itself. Is the weight penalty worth the comfort of an air mattress for a week? I bought an Eddie Bauer (self-inflating) queen size air mattress on the way to OSH last year ....in the minivan. Pump uses 4 D-cell batteries. Smaller Single/Twin size mattress was also available. I'm not the smallest guy around, yet the thing kept me up off the ground all night - unless I rolled to the side too quickly, then I would sometimes bottom out. On our last night, I wasn't even aware we had a flooded tent until I rolled off the air mattress the next morning - only to discover an inch of water in the bottom of said tent. I have not ruled out foul play!! :-) I packed 1 old crummy comforter and 1 normal "top" sheet. If it's hot - sheet on top, cold - comforter on top. Air mattress ($45) has been used many, many times by us since last year. No leaks, same batteries. Montblack |
