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...

Saw this thing and thought it was pretty cool. It wouldn't be great for keeping you warm without a blanket but it does keep you off the ground and looks really compact.

I think its so double standard dat if a man sleeps around, he's not considered a whore/slut, but if a women does, she is judged as that. I like my sex, I've slept with 6 guys this year. Do you really think dats makes me a slut? Im just worried about sleeping with somebody and them spreading...

How about some good news for a change? :cool: We all need sleep, which is a fact of life but also a legally important point. Last week, the Department of Justice argued as much in a statement of interest it filed in a relatively obscure case in Boise, Idaho, that could impact how cities...

Could you zip two sleeping bags together? I've heard of it being done before, but im not sure if it has to be specifically made like that or if you can put together any sleeping bag... This might be a stupid question, but I'm just kinda planning ahead, I'm about to travel with this girl I met in...

Is there anyplace in Vegas that gives out sleeping bags?

I was wondering if anyone here uses the USGI 4-piece sleep system. I've heard it can keep you alive down to -40°F. That's ideal for me as I'm planning on going full-time soon and am hoping to see Montana. Has anyone used it and if so do you recommend it? if so I might be able to get one for $110.

Hi! Just a question that came to my mind ... I'm testing my gear right now in the garden :rolleyes: and of course the sleeping bag or tarp gets wet from time to time. From rain or condensation. Here it's not a problem, I just take my stuff home, unfurl it and it'll dry over the day. But on the...

So I actually get more sick when I am home and domesticated for some reason but when I end up having to sleep outside(no tent) I tie a scarf around my face, mouth and nose so the cold air is filtered through the scarf before getting to my throat,nasal passage and lungs which has kept me from...

My dog is two years old now, I have had her since she was rescued at 6 weeks old. At night time she is driving me crazy. She insists on having full body contact whilst we're sleeping.

Say your in a new city and you haven't found any abandoned houses or shit like that and you decide to sleep outside. How do you decide where to crash at?

Has anyone on here experienced it? If so I'd like to hear about experiences and what you do to overcome it. Im curious how common it is. I told a friend a moment ago that I was sorry for keeping him up (if i did) all night by my restlessness and told him about the night terrors..not sure if...

Not sure if this thread belongs here, but sleep is a part of staying healthy, so I'm gonna roll with it. Pohlyphasic sleep is essentially short naps throughout the day instead of one long rest at night. The extreme version is where you take twenty minute naps every four hours (2 hours of sleep...

Hey, anybody know of any relatively secure places to kip on the streets in Paris - and by relatively secure I mean a place where I won't get stabbed/robbed in my sleep. Even better a squat? Will be heading out mid January. Flight from prestwick was only a tenner

I've been looking for a small sleeping bag, and I dont think there is such a thing. I picked up a regular sized bag, my friend said it was the smallest one he'd ever seen, but the thing isnt going to fit in my pack. I figure I'll just strap the thing on there. Is there a preferred method anyone...
