Weeds, as you get older and more arthritic you will appreciate a stretcher more and more, the older you get the harder it is getting up off the ground and not just when camping, LOL, Regards Frank.Quote:

The Redi-Bed is no longer made but if you can track one down you will never regret it.;)
As for the pillow falling off - I place the tucker/camp box at the end of the Redi-Bed - seems to solve the problem;)
We use the Exped Downmat 7. Great mats.

Dont get the Coleman giant stretcher, its very comfy but takes up way too much tent room at 2.1m
Black wolf speedie stretcher is extremely fast stable & comfy!
Cheers Dean.
I have one of those Exped mats....they're brilliant - so much better than a Thermarest.
The inflation is far easier when you simply blow it up though ;)
Remember too that the higher the stretcher is off the floor the further towards the middle of the tent you will have to be, IF the tent has sloping walls, Regards Frank.
At Greenbank the Q-stores used to issue those spring leg stretchers which are quite comfortable except they have a tendency to flip over on top of you if you roll over in a manner that does not suit. Greenbank is-was bloody cold in winter and we were issued 6 blankets. Usual practice was to double over two of them and put them on top of the stretcher and the other 4 on top of you. On real cold nights your greatcoat would be pulled over on top of the lot.
That's what we're looking at replacing our swags with. Except maybe the Synmat MW might be our choice.Quote:
