For three bucks, I scored a military wool sleeping bag liner thing that looks like this:
and I'm thinking about felting (washing and drying it hot to get those fibers nice and tight) and using it as a sleeping pad. I've never slept with one of those inflatable/foam pads before, mostly just ontop my jacket/leaves. It's a few pounds (3?), heavier than most pads. Has anyone tried this? Would it provide enough insulation against a cold ground? I would tuck this under my sleeping bag, inside the bivvy to keep it from getting wet and heavy as fuck. I was also thinking that one could shove leaves/cardboard and whatnot inside for extra insulation if needed. I'm hoping to head up into the mountain sometime next week and test my gear out in the snow. It may make a good base for a bedroll. Curious about yr thoughts!
