Big Dog, I am tall, very broad shouldered, and not exactly slim. I'm with you. On top of that, you're writing from a town where I have friends. If your him or her, I'm going to crack up. Thank heaven, I haven't had to sleep on one since I was a teenager, and it wasn't fun then. Like I said, it's dryer than sleeping on the ground, but I'd go with state of the art if I ever camped again. I do NOT plan on camping again, period. I've spent many years camping and thoroughly enjoyed it, and think all young people should at least try it. But I'm fiftiesh, hubby is sixtiesh, and as soon as our much beloved doggie goes to doggie heaven, our camping is going to be in hotel roooms with room service, cabs, and restaurants. Lots of champagne (Oh, ok, even when we were in a canvas tent there was champagne!).
