I use one of these with a cheapo sleeping bag underneath my regular bag.

I have room to store stuff underneath, I'm off the ground, out of the
reach of shorter bears and its very comfortable. An eggshell foam cover
would also help keep you warm.
I got the Tent Ma Hall just so I could use this. Very nice.


Being but a poor weak woman, and old besides, I'd do myself damage
getting that into my tent. Not so much into the tent as in and out of
the truck. So I have the Cabela's Big Lux tent for truck camping and
later got a lower, smaller, lighter cheapo one that I may use in the
smaller tent and/or for canoe camping. They're all better than the
ground as far as getting up and getting out of the tent. I don't
even have to wish for my wading staff to pull myself up when I emerge
from the tent.

I don't drink so I think I can really keep the weight and bulk down compared

So, I'm thinking of getting a minimal amount of in-between "car camping"
gear so that I can leave the trailer and go stay in the Slough Creek
campground ( example) for a night or two and thus make the FDR ( fishing
to


Turns out I have a 4 man tent and had forgotten about it. We bought it a
fews years back for a Yosemite trip where my son brought along a couple
friends ... the kids stayed in the tent, the wife and I in the trailer.
When I mentioned thinking about getting some car camping stuff and my
reasoning for doing so, Barb instantly remembered the tent, and it only took
an hour to find it in the barn G.

I also have a two burner propane stove that used to be in a luxury model
floating duck blind. In the blind we used a 5 gal tank, but I'm not sure I
want to mess with a big tank for a couple nights of non-trailer camping a
season ... and I know I'm not inclined to throw away cylinders ... I have
some research to do on refillable tanks

I have a nice goose down bag, and pad, but I think a cot is neally escential
these days, getting up and down off the ground and my knees isn't that easy
anymore .... I used to fish on my knees a lot and the last couple years
every time I see some young twerp crawling a stream bank it really drives
the gotten old thing home. I'm leaning to a Cabela's model cot.

I'm planning to put everything including a canned/dried meal or two in a
plastic storage container and put it in the truck ... ready to camp anyplace
with some water available at a minutes notice.
