Oh yea, you NEED to use a sleeping pad or several blankets between the cot and your bag, or the cold air will get you from below!  :yeah: In our camp we have been using the Cabelas army style cots for years-best night sleep  that you can have in a tent!

oh ya a cot is a must. I have a slumberjack from sportsmans and i love it. i thought about buying the big boy cot but it is a little large to fit in a wall tent filled up with dudes and gear. And yes if you dont have some kind of barrier between you and the cot you will freeze your ass.

I got two free cots with my Alaknak...never thought I'd own a cot, a tent like that or a wood stove. I think I'm going to like it.

I don't currently use a cot, but that is due to the size of tent, or lack there of, that I use.  My buddy and I use my backpacking tent, which is barely big enough for two guys and their gear.

If you come to camp at my place that's all we have.Threw the beds out,they took up to much space.Looks like I'll be in this trailer one more year. I need a pad or my back hurts.
Talk about being cold sleep in back of a pick up or van without much padding under your sleeping bag. We have cheap cots from Bi-Mart that we like.The kids have their cots and don't take much room to store them when the kids aren't there

Well I just received the Cabelas outfitter XL today and HOLY CRAP !!! now I need a bigger tent, this thing is the size of a foot ball field  :o Oh well I should have no problem using every square inch of it LOL !!  :chuckle:  :chuckle: Can't wait to get out and use it. It came with a free night stand which is pretty cool to keep some of your stuff from getting scattered all over the floor of the tent.

Maybe I'll just set up one of my First Up canopies and put on the walls and lay down a tarp and call it home. anyone use one of those for a tent ??

reproduction of course (this means you have to have a partner) being a lone doesn't count.

 Like the guy that got caught with a sheep by an old cowboy.
 He ask the sheep guy if he wanted a drink.
 Hell no I'm so drunk now I don't know what I'm doing

I used to use a cot, now it is a queen size bed, with either the heater or the AC running   :IBCOOL:
