People love camping, people hate camping. I love it AND hate it. Whatever chance I get, the outdoors is where I want to be having fun with family and friends, relaxing or playing games, away from all of today's high tech distractions, you know what I mean! Sleeping on the ground has proven to be one of my challenges when camping, my hate part. Escaping to the outdoors, my love part. Even my bed at home creates morning aches once in a while, so sleeping on the ground, even on an air mattress, means pain the next day. Buy a camper? - NOT. I'm too stubborn, and truly enjoy the "roughen it" camping experiences, all but the sleeping part!
Friends have suggested a sturdy camping cot, or a comfy swaying cotton hammock to suspend between trees. A camping cot would allow me complete freedom to still sleep under the stars, or inside my tent in nasty weather, and still have a great deal more comfort than the ground! Camping in a camper is just not my style, so a cot would definitely be an option. Getting better sleep will surely provide more enjoyment for daytime activities!
A cot can be complicated or rather simple. You have choices of one type that sets up a few inches from the ground or one that is elevated more for in and out ease. It can be very space efficient, too, and still produce a restful night's sleep. There are single units made just for one or those that let you share comfortably with spouse or friend. Most camping cots have a sturdy frame with a simple canvas to support your body, and then there is what I'd call the "Cadillac" style, with the whiz-bang automatic air pump mattress top for added comfort, if need.
A hammock would be very appealing, too, and easy to set up, especially when trees are abundant. Even without trees, I found there are these great tripod stands for one end, plus you need only one tree. Brazilian hammocks offer super back support when you lie diagonally in them like the Brazilians do, and the swaying and rocking benefit would be the ultimate! You can also tote a full hammock stand, that sets up quickly, and always have the perfect sleeping atmosphere under the night skies wherever your trip takes you! You'd need an overhead canvas or your tent in rainy weather, but if it's mosquitoes you need protection from, check into a light weight nylon hammock with a mesh or screen you pull over the top to keep the pests off -- perfect!
Checking out these choices means I'll most likely gain even more love for camping, and I'll definitely be more willing to plan more outings! I love camping, I love camping, I'm going camping!
