Hello September, I’m ready to Camp!

Klymit Campsaver V Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Z Seat
Ahh, the butt-pad from heaven! I realize that sounds silly, but this is one awesome piece of gear, even if it does fall into a little bit of a luxury item category. That said, this thing is seriously worth a slight sacrifice in pack space for the amount of comfort it brings to the party. …
