Lapland clave 2004 maps

that night one of our hunters got hypothermia because he was sleeping on an
inflatable mattress.

I think there's something missing from this picture. Though usually by
inflatable
one means the inflatable insulated pads even a plain uninsulated air mattress
shouldn't "cause" hypothermia if the hunter had a proper bag. Air does provide
some insulation.

Until the inflatable mattress gets a leak. Better add duct tape to the
list. :-)

I ain't a big fan of his vapors. d;o)

If I winter camped here in MN, I might try one. As it is, I can't see
using one above about 20 to 30 F. Weather that is my absolute limit
for camping and then only by accident.

One moves. This moves the air in the mattress. The cold air at the
bottom and sides moves to where it can touch the bag. They're really
not enough (though some) warmer than the ground beneath them or the
air around them. When I use open cell foam (car camping) or an air
mattress, I use the Thermarest type or a double piece of fleece fabric
between them and my bag unless it's extremely hot out. They are
nicely comfortable, though. I under inflate them so that I'll sink
right in.

Of course it's the cold weather that "causes" hypothermia, not the air
matterss, but I know from experience that a good functional old
fashioned air matterss is very cold on frozen ground. The sleeping bag
is compressed under you, and the air is precious little insulation. On
the other hand, therma-rest is as warm and comfy as it gets. The
camp-rest version at 2 inches thick is a delight even on gravel.
