Light weight camping gear

[mscotter]

I do a fair bit of camping and currently use a Big Agnes Air Core inflatable. This is 3.5" thick when inflated, comfortable and does a good job insulating me from sometimes very cold ground. I regularly camp in freezing temps and this works great. if I'm really worried I put a space blanket under me to reflect heat back up to me.

I've not tried it, but the new "Windcatcher" mattress looks nice too: http://www.windcatchergear.com/
