I'm really getting too old to sleep on the ground for more than three nights in a row.
This fleabag motel is the goddamnedTaj Majal.
Back when I volunteered for the BSA, I got a Thermarest sleeping pad. If you are going to spend a lot of time on the ground henceforth, I highly recommend the 1-1/4" thick version. Best sleep I ever got on the ground on a back packing trip. The 3/4" version just doesn't cut it.
I've had too many leaky thermarests to trust them any more, I use a Z-Rest.
