You guys that camp in tents....

Post by Iluv2hunt » Sun Nov 16, 2008 7:50 pm

What do yall sleep on? It had been several years since I stayed in one till this weekend. I bought a cot at wally world and it just about kicked my butt. I finally got up at 2AM and finished off the night in the front seat of my truck. I used to have an air mattress, so I guess I am going to get another one. wonder if I got a twin size air mattress and put it on top of the cot if that would work. I am trying to avoid sleeping on the ground due to lower back problems
