Sleeping pads

“Liked the idea of down with my air Pathman. Cool site, thanks.”

“THANKS-Pathman, now I want an Icebird bag for 400 bucks! Jeez!”

“i will put that down inflatable on my wish list for anyone who is looking for gift ideas for me.”

“uummm inflatable what????”

“inflatable pad filled with down. R-9 ! The MH Trailhead is only R-7 or so.”

“Exactly Wild Flower. Try explaining you have a "Big Agnes" to blow up! Had some fun with my wife the day it showed up at the house and she asked "what did I order now?"”

“LOL Didjfan!!”

“I always wondered about that Mt. Hardware pad. I wasn't sure which end went where. You're sure the tapered part if for feet? I mean, a person's head does not need much room?? LOL! But I suppose this is right.

Sometime I need to get a pad. I'll have to check Big Agnes and that other site mentioned (although the latter will not have a chance in hell, I imagine.) I've gotten Big Agnes catalogs before. Offhand I can't remember the pad. Although I suppose it's a pad that fits into the bag, right?? right”

“I got a sleeping pad you can share.”

“but bacpac does your inflatable have a name???
if not then ask baume 66 what his is??”

a pad she can share with who?
you didn't say "we" (as in you and lizzy)

mapleleaf, just sleep on the rocks or the damn boards. Thats' what I did the last three nights - some idjit forgot to pack A FEW of the essentials, including the sleeping bag pad.”

“Actually my pad does have a name. I called her, "that leaking #&%!$", the first time I took it backpacking. I plugged her though and she has been holding air ever since.”

“uuum did you say you plugged her??”

“well, there was a time we were goinig to float the nantahala on blow up dolls. naked ape was planning that adventure but we never got it in before he moved out west.”

“"Bacpac, I actually did the soap test in the bath tub. Still couldnt find the leak. I suspect a bad valve. It will start full but by morning its flat. I just need to send it back..."

birch: did you ever consider the possibility of excessive gaseous force being exerted on the pad during the night?”

“Can't you smell that smell????

“you could go buy another one and if you're very careful you can get the old one back in the plastic and ready for a return to one of those yuppy gear stores with workers who have never even been backpacking. i've never done anything like that, though...
i recently started using an ultralite 3/4. i actually slept really good on it the last couple of nights. my legs don't miss the padding and if it's got enough air i don't feel much ground underneath.”

“Why thank you, Mr. bacpac. Is that a blow-up doll?”

“Y'all see that the Exped is 24 x 6.7" rolled up? That's frickin' huge in my book.”

“It can be folded in half to 12 x 6 and it is approximately the size of a small sleeping bag when in the bag. It weighs 2lbs but for the comfort, it is 2lbs welcome.”

“Gforce, good point about the gas...”

“I use the Thermarest Guide Light long and I love it.

It is by far one of the best pads that I have ever used!
