Thermarest Mattresses and Sleeping Pads

January 26, 2008

One of the only things I don’t like about camping overnight in a tent, is sleeping on the cold, hard ground.  To me, it’s worth the extra effort to bring along a sleeping pad that is firm and comfortable, but also insulates your body from the cold ground.  I awake refreshed as a happy camper every morning after a night on my sleeping pad!
