[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have done a lot of camping, backcountry, wilderness, and regular car or walk-in camping. I have no need to have my shoulders and hips make indentations in the ground to feel I am connecting to nature. If I am carrying my gear (backpacking style camping) I use a thin self-inflating pad. Not great but sufficient. If I am camping anywhere that my gear is in my car I bring an inflatable air mattress and pump that runs off the car cigarette lighter. I get a much better sleep and still enjoy all the sights and sounds of nature...other than communing with the hard ground.  Being uncomfortable and/or sleep deprived is really not a badge of camping honor that one needs to wear.  [/quote]

+1!  Especially when an inescapable part of camping is chasing after two little kids.  I really need to be rested.

On the other hand, if you are going to Assateague, you will be sleeping on sand, which is softer than the gravel we usually encounter in western Maryland.  An air mattress is pretty necessary there, not so much at Assateague.[/quote]
