Camping… Air mattress?

So i’m going on a camping trip with my youth group for a week and one of the things on the list they gave us is a pad or an air bed. I was wondering if those air beds people use in the water that come in neon colors are okay to use for that purpose?

I’m going camping on saturday and I won’t be back until Monday at around 11:00 Lunchtime.
My brother is staying home and he’s 19 but he won’t remember to take care of them and he works everyday 12:00 daytime until 12:00 midnight. I guess my other brothers will be home, Brandon and Jeremy and and Jeremy has a girlfriend named Jessica who lives with us and she LOVES gerbils but she works too and Jeremy works all day, same with Brandon. Jeremy and Jessica are still moving in though, they’re living downstairs and they have to move all of their clothes and their mattress and dresser and TV and fish tank, all that stuff. So I don’t know what I can do with them… My mom strictly said that I cannot bring my gerbils. She won’t change her mind, either. Any ideas?

I’m going camping, I’ll be sleeping in a tent. We’re going to campgrounds, not just out in the woods lol. I’ll have a tent platform. Do I need an air mattress or will just a sleeping bad work?
I meant sleeping bag, not bad.

And will sleeping without an air mattress just be completely uncomfortable, like hard and painful? I’ve never been camping so idk what to expect or what a tent platform even is.

I’m thinking of going on a little cycling/camping trip around part of Scotland in a few weeks.
Most likely it will be for 3 – 5 days if all goes well. I will be carrying a rack on the back for a pannier bag which holds around 30 litres and also a small backpack for my more valuable items.

What sort of items can you recommend I bring? (Everything & anything you can think of)

To narrow it down, i have so far;

2 man tent
Sleeping bag
Air bed + pump
2 mess tins + cutlery
Flask
Small torch

Thank you : )

If I buy a sleeping bag im thinking about buying the marmot trestles 15 degree bag. I’m thinking about buying that degree bag cause I want to use it for other seasons like fall & winter.
I’ll be camping at mathers campground at the south rim

Fear of foam? Does anyone else feel this way?




I have an extreme fear of foam. Not styrofoam or foam that comes from bubbles, but the type of foam that are in foam pits in gyms, or those cheap older headphones. For example, the foam mattresses people put down for camping, I can’t touch that. I will start gagging and have to wash my hands, or put on lotion, or something. My bare skin cannot touch foam at all. Does anyone else have this phobia or am I completely nuts? I have never met someone who has the same disgust and fear of foam that I have.
