The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Depends if your hiking and camping or going in the car, if hiking a foam roll up and sleeping bag is ideal because it's lightweight if you are driving the car to the site where your pitching your tent I'd use an inflatable mattress or fold up bed. Don't know if you have a Go Outdoors shop near you but they have some really good deals and a variety of beds etc. ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milwr Jr. 99 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Take a bottle o' whiskey with you. You won't give a f**k what you're sleeping on by the end of the night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hillbilly boy 109 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If your hiking then a self inflating roll and if your just gonna pull up in the car then air bed just test it before you go nothing worse than waking up in the morning sleeping on the ground some have a habit of loosing air overnight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 lightweight hammock, maggot bag, poncho, para cord and a couple of handy trees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonah. 775 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 as has been said if weight is not an issue, fold up bed all everytime. the amount of money i've spent over the years replacing air beds that have pooped is unreal. if hiking a roll mat or self inflating mattress. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Don't matter what you sleep on mate, nothing comes close to your own bed. Just remember whatever you get, you need to store it when not in use for long periods. I prefer air beds but I go camping in a canoe lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
