Members Dustin.Sellers Posted October 30, 2017 Members Share Posted October 30, 2017 My girlfriend has been showing a feigned amount of interest in an overnight trip on the river bank next year. She's really getting into photography and wants to spend more time taking pictures. I of course love having more time to fish. The problem is we aren't able to do any longer floats or float anywhere more than an hour or two from home. So, I'm looking to find out what you seasoned river men and women use for tent camping. I'm a hammock man myself so don't have much experience on the ground. I appreciate any advice you have. Rather it be mattresses, sleeping bags, etc. THANKS!

Flysmallie Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Cots are nice if you have the room to haul them. I just use a inflatable mattress from Walmart. Sleep very comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Would go with a Thermarest or similar self inflating pad, the biggest & thickest one you can haul. Cots are nice, but heavy and bulky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Cots are ok for solo trips but they can be dangerous if there's any hanky-panky going on. We stack two big air mattresses and it sleeps better than our bed at home. The trick is to only pump the bottom one up about 3/4 and then pump the top one up good and tight.

fishinwrench Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 No, but there's a stilt in our airbed.....and I want to keep it in one piece as long as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagged in outlet 3 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can something that short actually be called a stilt? Deadstream and Dustin.Sellers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
