or Backcountry...


my ??? is should try to find a hole in it and then try to patch it up with gear aid seem grip to use it as a Spare Sleeping pad since I am Sleeping in My Tent by Choice to get my gear to Survive in this World... and I also use the Sleeping pad 7days a week 365days a year??? or Should I buy 2 new ThermaRest Trail Pro Sleeping Pads???


good thing I still have my 7-2008 ThermaRest Trail Pro Sleeping pad that got a pin hole made by a puppy dog on 12-2008 and I had to patch it up with Gorilla Super glue and Gorilla Duct tape near the valve and I used 1,000 mph olive duct tape still holds air for 5days
Is there any reason to NOT use a non-inflatable closed cell (ie. Ensolite) foam sleeping pad? With one of those there's no way it'll go flat. BTW, they also insulate better on cold ground.
