Has anyone tried using a roll of bubblewrap instead of a foam pad? I know that bubbles will lose air after a while, but I'd think they'd be good enough for a few trips.


Yes, and the larger 1" bubles are toughter than the smaller 1/8" diameter ones IME. But only for real Summer backpacking in hot weather. Reason being the air in the bubbles gets cold as the ground at night and will thus suck heat from you while you attempt to rest. So it might not be yer age, creaky bones, or rocky uneven ground that kept you from getting a good night's rest <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
