If You Are Going Camping, Make Sure You Bring A Sleeping Pad!

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

Regardless of whether you are taking a primitive camping trip (where you hike out into the wilderness where there is no food, no running water, and no bathroom) or a camping trip at a campsite, you will probably say (or hear someone say) that you are "roughing it." And while part of the fun of going camping is certainly the fact that it allows you to get out into nature and "rough it" a little bit, you also do not want to make yourself so uncomfortable that the effects of roughing it carry over into your everyday life.

One of the big mistakes people make when camping is that they bring a sleeping bag and a tent, but they do not bring a sleeping pad - which leaves them sleeping on the rocky ground. While the cuts and scrapes you sustain while hiking through the woods will fade pretty quickly, the pain in your back from sleeping in rocks might last much longer than you want a souvenir from your camping trip to last! If you decide that you want to camp the smart way and bring along a sleeping pad, here are a couple great options to keep in mind.

The Wenzel Convoluted Camp Pad: The advantage of the Wenzel Convoluted Camp Pad is that it is not a blow-up pad, which makes it a much sturdier and surer option than taking something that may leave you with no sleeping pad at all when it gets punctured by a branch or a batch of thorns!

The Alps Mountaineering Self Inflating Pad: Of course, the benefit of the Alps Mountaineering Self-Inflating Pad is that it is more comfortable than a pad that does not have air in it; at the same time, however, it can also be a less sure option, as it can get punctured or ripped, so you will have to make sure you are willing to risk having no sleeping pad to sleep on!

Regardless of which of these options you choose to go with, you will be happy to have a high-quality sleeping pad underneath you - instead of having nothing underneath you but rocks and sticks!
