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

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 sore muscles, the bug bites, and the minor scrapes from camping will fade 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! Here are a couple great options to keep in mind if you want to be smart about camping and bring a sleeping pad with you.

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 even though it is more comfortable, you will have to decide whether you are willing to risk it!

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 being stuck sleeping on rocks and uneven ground!
