REVIEW: Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Camping Mattress – 15 Years Later

I got a Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad
( https://amzn.to/3Q3YUjH ) 15 years ago and still use it. I normally use it twice a year for camping , however I also use it for a quick mattress for sitting. It is self inflating with the internal foam.

It needs about a few breathes of air to fill, overall its effortless to setup in a minute. Very well made and high quality. For wet or cold camping, I pair it with my ultralight camping cot ( https://amzn.to/3KLIKdRso ) i am off the floor of the tent. It makes a difference during a rain down pour.

HOW TO: Super Comfy CAMPING SETUP (ok… Glamping Setup)

I wanted my camping experience to be super comfortable with friends and family. So when they invited me I made my camp tent to be really comfortable. My setup includes aims to be be fast setup, spacious for changing inside the tent, warm during the night, great sleeping, night light and power station for charging and powering my tents lights and devices.

For shelter, I got a four person pop up tent ( https://amzn.to/3J7bJbe ) that took 5 minutes to setup. I got a four person pop up tent tent so I have space to change clothing and even do a sponge bath inside my tent if necessary. It basically like a big umbrella that pops and locks in place. Setup and take down is extremely easy.

Before putting up the tent, you need a waterproof tarp ( https://amzn.to/3Q0JUnj ) to protect your tent from the ground moisture and dirt. I have a camping axe ( https://amzn.to/3BjhvEU )to drive the tent and tarp anchors down. Tip: bring a small brush to cleaning and dusting dirt off your tent, and shoes before going into your tent. Its also good to during packing up to clean the tent before packing it.

For my sleeping setup, I like very warm sleep. I have a my trusty Coleman Sleeping Bag ( https://amzn.to/3PU5QjH ), and my 10+ year old Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad ( https://amzn.to/3vgeLUO ). This year, I added a 4lb lightweight camping cot ( https://amzn.to/3RXTKYZ ) to sleep on. It was more comfortable to sleep on the cot than on a air mattress. I put my sleeping pad on top of my cot.

I got a full size self-Inflating sleeping mats ( https://amzn.to/3vhAKut ) to place on my tent floor. This was better than kneeing on the hard ground, especially when there may be rocks. Last time, my knees got bruised. Its also good if you have want more sleeping space or work space.

For lighting and power, I have a pair of usb rechargeable mosquito zappers ( https://amzn.to/3oxnUVk ). It works well as a purple night light and as a powerful tent and camp light. I also use a NOVOO 148wh Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3IaWQnO ) to charge all my lights and mobile cell phone devices. I already own a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) for the camp group use to charge their phones. However, I wanted something smaller and easier to have in my tent at night. I use my 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches ( https://amzn.to/3PCw7DA ) to distribute power.

Overall, my camping setup is really comfortable and “glamping” as this is not really roughing it, but enjoying the experience. Normally the tent, sleeping mat, and sleeping bag are the main requirements.
