Hey everyone! I’m looking to camp out of my Ranger and I’d love a sleeping pad to use as a base for my sleeping bag, but I don’t wanna spend several hundred dollars making it happen. Any good recommendations? Thanks!

when we were camping out of the back of my tundra, id use harbor freight moving blankets. get them on sale for $5 and stack 3 of them. for $15 i have a nice soft underlayment that i can use for other things when not sleeping. easy to dry if they get wet and for $5...i dont worry if one gets messed up.
can even use one as a picnic blanket, etc. i like to use things that i can get multiple uses out of.

Makes sense, does it provide enough support for you?
