Winter Camping essentials: Sleeping pad

[stonenstrop]

The Thermarest has worked well for us. For backpacking the shorter version is good if you put a barrier under your legs to thwart dampness - maybe a large trash bag. stonenstrop

I would marry a girl who was obssessed with survival as she is. They aint that plenty.

I have the older style green Neoair that she is showing here. For me it gets cold below 35F. It is very comfortable though. Therm-A-Rest now has a Neoair All Season with an R value of 4.9. It should be much warmer than the green one.

hmm sorry im not going to pay 150 bucks for a mat!!!

[brgzz]

Good review ...Thanks for the video, and best wishes for a Happy 2012!  : )

@ drpeternet the therorests are all made in USA.

[NorthSurvival]

Do you live in canada, everything seems so expensive there, 191 dollars for a sleeping pad, that is expensive.

[TheGordonjd]

I use some of that foam rubber pipe insulation that was left over from work. Works great.

[Supportothers]

i think they stopedmavideos becuase you all hitttn on her

[saundersDave11]

If you're on a really low budget, corrugated cardboard will keep you off the cold ground, and provide a bit of air insulation beneath you. Not sure if the lovely lady in this video would join me, however.

[sweetypie000]

let's get married baby !

[masterdurchgriff]

I would defenatly share such a mat with Seleka and I'm certain it'll be warm enough ;-)

I can go without a sleeping pad if I can use your arse for a pillow.

[stackedhippiechick]

Tests show that when your sleeping, up to 75 percent of heat loss is downward and only 25 percent up through the top of your sleeping bag. So, it is imperative you use a good quality pad under your bedroll. Use a pad with a high R-value.

[utubeworms]

I'm sorry, were you saying something about sleeping pads?

[redrocker72]

nice haircut

[hellokitty2007]

My NEO is defective.

Got back from Cascade designs.

It's still defective.

[bugandbulky]

what would be the r value of a wool blanket

[Rhinoch8]

Actually do you put these under the sleeping bag or in it? Because i'm always kinda rolling off the pad, whenever i sleep in it. Actually, my pad would fit in my bag...

[solobackpacking]

DO NOT take the Neo Air in the winter.

It has very little insulation and may easily fail.



[DrPiterarnett]

all made in china but price to exp

[melodicspeed]

I would cross Syberian tundra by foot, just to kiss the hand of that beautiful lady.

[oodamnagain]

I love my thermorest, noticed that alot of people don't unroll theres untill they are ready to go to sleep. I think it is best to get this out and ready as soon as you set up camp. this gives it plenty of time to fill with air, without tring to force air in it.

[arbit3r]

She can use my balls as a thermorest. Big and warm.

[tarsus4x4]

Obviously you've never inflated pump-Exped. If you do the presentation - do it right please.

[chitown1966]

love your videos, you do a wonderful job, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[Mag4live]

Oh hell with it! I'll hit on her!

[nitewolf3369]

can i use any of these in a hammock????

[painsey]

im not hitting on you or anything, but your lovely

[PHARRAOH]

@painsey back off naive! she's mine!

[MsSpy]

Interesting video. I'll have to give some of those sleeping pads a try. I've been on a never-ending quest to find the perfect warm/comfortable sleeping pad for winter backpacking. I haven't been able to find one yet.

[girlinvisible12]

I got the Neo Air.

I froze using it in the winter and in the summer it easily punctured.

Not recommended for either winter or summer.

And Thermarest takes forever to repair and pad.

[FixedByDoc]

My wife has the pink one in your hand. I think its great but she says it does not fit her sleeping bag that it isn't shaped right. I don't I think it is nicer than mine which has the tapered cut. Both are great in the snow.

[alexgoyettemobile]

therma rest prolite plus 4 season i have the same one

[mynameistooey]

i have had a good nights sleep on my therma-rest ridgerest deluxe closed cell foam pad at 17 degrees with a 20-30 mile per hour winds....she is correct about therma-rest very high quality products,i think my wife paid 28.00 for it on sale..if you need more thickness for sleeping on rocky ground,just stack 2 of them together...good video thanks for posting

[icychap]

The EMS Crash Pad is the best I've used. It's versatile, packs down well, and is light compared to similar insulative pads.

[PeakClimbing]

You are right its worth buying a good sleeping pad especially in winter

[greatoutdoorstony]

Thermarests are so reliable had mine for 10 years

[skilegappartyplanner]

I Reccomend the NEO for Summer use really lightweight
