Hello BP.net
I'm going to see how far I can travel from wednesday with around $1400.
I'm starting here where I live (Denmark), and I'll make my way down to Spain, then I'll see what happens. My question is regarding camping in a tent - I've bought a Agnes Lone Spring 1 (I think, that is what it is called), which is quite small and only 1.5kg and fits perfectly in my 70L backpack.
Now, my questions..

Do I need a sleeping mat / sleeping pad / something to lay on?
I feel like it'd take up quite a lot of space, but this will be my first time backpacking so I'm not sure at all.

Is it dangerous to camp in a tent alone?
I'm referring to humans here, I've seen my share of russian gore, where they go to the forest and smash homeless peoples head in with hammers.. I'm pretty paranoid about this, but I don't think stuff like ^ that usually happens - hopefully not.

I hope you'll answer my questions!
Thanks
