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!

An absolute power play right there1.) Procure bales of hay.
2.) Throw in truck, cover with itchy blanket. Make squirrel noises.
3.) ????????
4.) Profit!

I’ve considered that actually!Man I just use a $5 foam yoga from a thrift store. Works wonders.

Makes sense, does it provide enough support for you?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.
it worked very well. im using past tense because i recently built out a cargo trailer and now we use a 5" memory foam mattress. but yeah, it worked really wellMakes sense, does it provide enough support for you?
