I also carry a space blanket, but I don't like them as well. They are really too small, they aren't very warm, and they make so much noise that it is hard to sleep.


I mainly sleep in ditches where there's long grass for padding, but I've also slept on one of those indoor/outdoor rugs on the door step of a church, on a gravel road (gravel is surprisingly comfortable), in the middle of a parking lot on the cement, on sidewalks, on the front lawn of a church (btw - churches are great places to find sleeping spots!!) .........
