Yes, I’ve a sleeping mat. Ordered through an adventure website called Snowcountry and it arrived within one day. Pretty fast i must say and I’m super happy with it.
Not to mention, I shurley don’t have the intention to max out the bank buying stuff in preparation for this trip. Because you can make it as crazy and expensive if you only want to go for the best brands and uber lightest products. But when it comes to sleeping, a good night rest is golden.
For four consecutive nights, I opted to test the sleeping mat by making it my primary sleeping surface. The initial night proved comical, resembling a basketball bouncing escapade, as I had inadvertently pumped it up too tightly. Unable to find a comfortable position, I eventually retreated to my bed in the middle of the night. Undeterred, I made adjustments, striking the perfect air balance on the following night. The result was a restful sleep experience, comparable to that of a traditional bed.
I went for the Big Agnes Rapide SL Insulated sleeping mat and I must say it looks awesome. It’s quite robust, has a insulation R-Value of 4.8, includes pumphouse high volume inflation sack, protective storage sack, replacement valve seal, and 3M repair patchesand and the comfort level is beyond my expectations. I love it and as you can see, my sleeping gear is gradually coming together. ? ??
Now I need a sleeping bag and a tent, then my camping gear is complete.
Hppy trvls! ✌🏾
