There are benefits to being old. There's some things you've learned not to do.

i have only taken a couple girls camping in my life, first one was from jackson hole wyoming, a true outdoors girl, and i didn't give it much thought, second one was a city girl and the first one i ever lived with, took her camping in february in the norht part of sedona, a nice campground but a campground none the less should have taken her to the southern one in sedona, much warmer,poor girl had a miserable time, but at least i got to camp in the mountains there after in peice

My son and his better half are waking up in Zion National Park this morning. Somewhere in the back country.

In the last few years we have been using an expanding mesh that is rubberized, meant to keep shelving items cushioned or as a protector inbetween say a... TV and a nicely finished table top.

put the thema rest inside your sleeping bag. it stays put and keeps you much warmer

Mummy Bag, has no room for Therma'rest.

I don't have that problem with mine. I do suggest that you expel a small amount of air from your therm-a-rest. Makes it softer and therefore you sink into it not sliding on top of it.

Nylon tent floor, Nylon ThermaRest self inflating pad, and Nylon Shell on sleeping Bag. The Pad squirts out like a watermelon seed. How do YOU avoid the problem.....?

A thermarest needs protection from sharp things and a ground sheet is a
good thing.
I use a bag with a down coat in it for a pillow.
To keep me on the pad I sewed two pockets on the ground sheet to put the pad and sleeping bag into, one for my legs and one for the pillow.
I am too long for the pad and never could keep the pillow from sliding away or comming off the pad.
I have since added hoops to keep a mosquito net in place. It turns out to be an almost bivy.
In winter I use a thermarest chair attachment to sit in the snow in front of my stove.

A tent is what "Real'Men" reside in. Men of class & much smarts. Barbarians sleep in stick & mud hovels.

...and hairy footed hobbits like my mother-in-law.. wait, she sleeps under a bridge and makes me answer riddles...

... never thought of bringing a woman to the bush just for sex, even if i did it wouldn't be at a party in a tent

I always bring one as a source of heat. my wife blows enough hot air to melt an igloo. makes a cozy camping trip on cold nights

on a serious note, this stuff is real cheap at dollar stores and craft stores. It has lots of uses in places where you don't want stuff to slide. The dash of your car or toilet seat in the summer...
