"Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." Ralph Waldo Emerson


Equipment - Thermarest Self-inflating Sleeping Pads



These pads have over 20 years of field use behind them. Thermarest pads are fairly durable, but they do have to be taken care of in the field. Watch out for sharp rocks, sticks, and plants that can puncture the pad.

Thermarest pads pack down into a small size, but do weigh more than closed cell foam pads. Are they more comfortable? Sure, but do you want to carry the extra weight? This is largely a personal choice.
