When I did wildfire I’ve used both foam and air for pads. I preferred the accordion foam. For a pillow I used a stuff sack and a cheap little wal mart fleece throw. I think that works good, and if you needed its extra warmth, or padding under your hip if you just fold it up under you. A little wildfire “hack was before you pitch your tent or put your pad on the ground take your heel or a rock and dig out a little pit where your hips will go, and refill with loose dirt. Works like a charm.Anybody else hear a side sleeper? Looking for help
I’ve suffered enough with my Klymit Static V and Klymit inflatable pillow, looking to upgrade without ending up broke. No matter how tired I am or what the ground beneath me is doing, I wake up after about 2 hours with a sore neck, sore shoulder, and sore hip with this pad and pillow setup. Then I spend the rest of the night sleeping in 20 minute shifts, constantly moving around a little to get more comfy for a few minutes. I literally sleep better during my late morning Power Nap than I do at night, and it’s affecting my ability to hunt and even hike effectively.
I’m 5’11”, 190 lbs, broad shoulders and narrow hips, pretty athletic build. I’m not big necessarily, but I’ve gotta have more padding.
Can anyone make a suggestion for the best pad and pillow combo for a side sleeper? It needs to be lightweight and packable for backcountry stuff, but I’ll carry a few extra ounces if it means I’ll sleep.
Any (pertinent) advice is appreciated, thanks!
