You know, I keep reading about people using leaves as extra insulation and cushioning in both emergency and non-emergency situations, but I would think that equation breaks down really quick when it's wet. If I had to spend a night out with only the "ten essentials", and there wasn't any dry leaves, I don't think I'd lay down at all. I'd probably ball up in a sitting position to conserve warmth, probably even put my legs inside my jacket or shirt, assuming they fit. Only problem is, my left knee bugs me and I've got to stretch it out every now and then.
