I found that packing my puffy in a buff and using it as a pillow was a complete game changer for me. It replicates the comfort, warmth and noise reduction of my pillows at home. I usually stack it on top of something like my pack to get it higher or take another buff and repeat the same process with another piece of clothing.
To me, it's much more comfortable than any inflatable pillows I've tried. It's also cheaper and lighter as a bonus!
That pose 😂
Draw me like one of your thru hiker girls.
Kev you ARE the shill brothers don't let Andrew see this 🤣.
You stick it out to make the video cast go and flow. Your great at the tube bro. Congratulations. Keep them talking as you do.
I switched from a mummy bag to a quilt because assuming a mummy position was definitely not how I sleep at home. In addition to the EE quilt, I sleep in my puffy, down pants, and down booties. All of that slippery clothing, in addition to obviously adding warmth, allows me to move around easily during the night without pulling on the quilt and creating drafts.
The most ultralight option I’ve learned is to take two Benadryl and then your sleep setup doesn’t matter 🤣
Definitely worth the weight tradeoff! My go-to sleep hack as well.
Yup, big fan of vitamin B 😁
I started getting the best sleep when I went to the rectangular 25" pad, rectangular wide bag that can zip open from the bottom so I can stick one foot out. I really didn't start camping until my 30's, so I'm used to having a lot of space. I don't think I could ever handle a mummy style sleeping bag. Great tips!
Good tips, man. I'm getting into motocamping so I'm currently evaluating all the tent, pillow and pad options. I'm also a side sleeper.
I'm a side sleeper and just can't get comfortable in a hammock. I just use a high quality 4" sleeping pad + pillow and sleep really well in a tent.
Thanks Kevin
I’m a tall guy side sleeper with broad shoulders. Kevin’s totally right. For me it’s a LightHeart Gear Duo tent (for tall guys), Sea2Summit EtherLight XT large pad (4” thick), two pillows for head support, & long/wide EE quilt. Invest in your sleep.
How tall is tall? I’m 6’9” and have yet to find a lightweight tent that fits. Hadn’t heard of LightHeart but just checked their website (thanks for the suggestion) - hard to tell online but how steep are the walls at the head and foot?
@@nickvanherk2292 My Lightheart Gear Duo floor is 100 inches long
@@jeffpeters5347 👍🏻
@@nickvanherk2292 I have a 4” pad and with my height I still have about 6” between my head & tent ceiling.
@@jeffpeters5347 Brilliant, thanks again.
Thx for the tip about REI allows you to try out their sleeping pads. I was thinking of going there too 👍
I think your suggestion on that pillow will be a lifesaver and I’ve used the noise app on my phone in winter also.
I prefer my hammock but just got the Duplex for the Colorado trail this summer. Hoping my Uberlite will work out. I also have the thin Gossamer gear pad to add a little .5 R.
I always fall asleep on the recliner at home so guess I'm just bringing a camp chair and a blanket. #suckitKyle
I use quilts but my 20 degree set up is with a SD Backcountry bed. Best of both a sleeping bag and a quilt. Perfect for those that do move around while sleeping and have larger frames that feel constricted in a mummy bag.
All valid points. I’m a side sleeper and I agree strongly with your opinion on the pad and pillow. I do prefer a sleeping bag but my EE quilt I can clip around and under me so I’m tucked in tight. I roll all over. Yes can be difficult at times to pay attention to this while you are sleeping/rolling around but it’s worked for me. So far. If you have a wide quilt (I have regular) it should fit around you fine. Big downside, no hood for my head. That’s what I miss the most. Good video!
“If I don’t have air slots in that thing, I’m a much happier camper” 😂 good one! I also will play white noise, that really helped me out when getting used to my ground dwelling set up.
What's up guys very good info! I just subscribed because "Kyle hates hiking" said too. Take care bud.
gossamer gear and six moons have footprints that will fit all 2p tents for less than 15$. tyveks and poly cro options. just get one.
I'm in my hammock when I can be, but these are great tips for when you have to be a ground dweller. Well done!
One tip ... if using a single wall tent, always take a towel or two to wipe down that condensation! 😎😎
I just bring a real pillow at this point. The extra weight is meaningless if it means I actually sleep vs fighting with some dinky camp pillow.👍
thermarest makes the smallest 'real' pillow u can buy. I think its 7 0z.
“Invest in sleep”. I definitely agree.
Great tips. Though, I have never fallen asleep on an air mattress. My lower back starts to ache if I use an air mattress. I prefer a wide and thick cell foam pad.
That thumbnail is amazing
Yes I have both
The best times I own is a three person technically one and a half because of gear unfortunately I have to have all three poles replaced they are quite a tad old like 29 years and the bungee ropes they need replacing really bad not to mention that the polls are cracked in certain spots and I have duct tape on them but it is extremely waterproof I accidentally left it out one night we had rain I had over 150 gallons of water on top of my tent and not one drop went through
I'm going to have to double check but on the top of my head I'm pretty sure it is a Texas sports Phoenix 3p
Pretty much that's what's cracked my poles on that tent all that weight but like I said it never dripped not one drop of water went through that tent or in this case the rain fly not one drop
Oh my GAWD...pan out and pull out...toooooo close to your face! 😆
I thought you used the Nemo tensor? Is the topo much better?
Hi. I own the altaplex and the duplex. With regards to airflow, there is no comparison. The duplex wins hands down. The altaplex feels stuffy to me. I live in Florida so it’s hot here. May do better in colder climates.
so all i want to know is how to get over a fear of wildlife & people when camping! i lived in durango co and we are moving to spokane wa and I would love to camp and wake up in nature but i am scared. help!
Best way to get a great night's sleep in a tent.. take the tent out of the bag, roll up in it, climb into your hammock.
Time for you to try tarp camping. If you are on the ground a tarp is great.
Would love tips for freestanding tall people, 3 season, tents
Hi, I use the MSR Hubba Hubba NX2 and being 6’4” tall I fit just fine. I love that tent.
@@jonstrongman3292 thanks!
Tip #1 to negate Kevin’s tip #1....sleep in the woods more, then you will need to work on replicating the woods in your bedroom! 👍🤪
"this is a little bit of a seductive pose" 😅🤣
I actually bring a sleeping wedge as i sleep with my head elevated at the house ..
how was your sleep the night you sent a soaked Dan Becker packing through the night instead of just letting him ..curl up in your 1 + person tent. spooning in an emergency is allowed and your giant pillow would have just been cozy...:}
Ha hilarious! 👍
check out jeff garmire. totally hilarious.
