Maybe you should have kept the love sack until after the season? Maybe you could rent it back for the two weekends from whoever bought it from you?

I was thinking ahead way ahead but the guy i was getting one from today (BKDAVE) got his out of the case and found a ton of mice and crap all over it. they had eaten holes and peed all over it.
so now i am scrambling.

Another reason to skip all those Huskie games!!

Try a sleeping mat rather than a cot, less airgap under your body will help hold in heat. I am sure any store that has camping items will have a sleeping mat.

I know you said you did not have time to go to Cabelas, but I put this here for an example.

I've never slept on a cot in a tent.

MuleySniper · « **Reply #29 on:** October 15, 2009, 08:50:43 AM »

Id rather use a therma-rest any day over a cot.

I might have to buy him a cot to kill this thread. maybe that was his plan all along<G>. Just kidding BWB

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #33 on:** October 15, 2009, 09:05:52 AM »

yeah pretty good on all the other stuff. Why?
this is only a short trip, my 12 day trip is gonna be on the 30th of october.

leave us your cell number so we can wake you for the hunt.Oh how do ya like your eggos

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #35 on:** October 15, 2009, 09:13:06 AM »

oh thanks for the offer, but i dont take my cell.
And i make homemade waffles not eggos those are processed way to much.

wastickslinger · « **Reply #36 on:** October 15, 2009, 09:18:30 AM »

Buy a therma-rest or a blow up twin air mattress or a blow up doll.

Bearhunter · « **Reply #38 on:** October 15, 2009, 10:50:28 AM »

Dont forget the goldbond. Man you sure have borrowed a lot of stuff this year. A bail of stray is about as warm and comfortable as you can get when sleeping on the ground. But the blowup doll idea is probably a better investment................

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #39 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:28:44 AM »

ok ok ok the beating can stop now.

just went to fred meyer, target, sears and sports authority and finally found a cot.
99$
put it on the credit card.....

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #40 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:34:32 AM »

Ohhh too bad I was going to let you borrow mine!!

backwoods_boy · « **Reply #41 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:36:31 AM »

awe thats ok i needed one for my very own anyways. And you get what you pay for and from some reviews i read online this one seems to hold up and be very good quality and well built.
Thanks though

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #42 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:47:07 AM »

If I've got room, I'm not using the bivy in a 5oz. hammock, sleeping on a mat, don't have the camp trailer, then I use a single size air mattress ($19.99) with a battery powerd/rechargable air pump ($12.99) from WallyWorld.

The cot is nice so you can stow stuff under it. Let us know how it works for you. Some of them are very noisy to sleep on. Many just aren't durable enough.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #43 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:56:35 AM »

I purchased a couple from cabelas. They are for car camping, not the lightest but you can put them together in 30 seconds and have their own case.
