I love camping! Nature's creation is so much better then man's creation. Colorado or Ireland are the most serene places on the planet for me.
No, I am not a tree hugger who drives a Hybrid and eats a diet consisting of nothing but Grape Nuts, but I do love nature (not in the bear shagging type way, of course
). Granted, I don't have a mother-in-law to deal with...

Have fun on your camping trip. But please, don't turn into a hippie...nothing on earth is worse then that.

You use Linux... you stole Carrot top's hair style...
You can't be more hippie if you grew your own weed instead of stealing mine... which is screwed up because I have cataracts! (At least that's what I told the draft board
)Actually, Colorado is amazing. My wife's uncle owns the 12 acres that border the back of pikes peak. It's a water shed so his whole back yard can never be built on... He takes hiking trips for weeks at a time.
He said once he spent two weeks on the back hills of pikes peak and never saw one person...
We go there whenever we get the chance and with the exeption if always being out of breath... it's a blast!
Enjoy camping matt77303!!
A little advice... get an air mattress!!

I got one from coleman... this is kinda like it...
You can get a rechargable pump that can also run off the lighter in your car...
It makes camping way better!!
Nature is wonderful!!! I kill several critters every year with my bow. I trap for the county in my spare time also , big problem with beaver and coyotes in western Indiana. They aren't as much fun to kill as deer though

Yes, something between you and the ground is extremely important. Not only for "softness" reasons, but mostly for general comfort reasons: if you sleep on the floor of a tent, even with a sleeping bag on ya, you will get cold. The ground has a way of sucking all the heat from your body, in addition to not feeling so good.
However, my opinion differs from Catalyst's. I feel that a self-inflating foam ground pad is the way to go. They weigh less, take up far less space, and are marginally cheaper (I guess you do sacrifice a tad bit of cushyness... to each their own). Here's an expensive example:

I personally got mine for $30-35 bucks at the local Walmart. It's worked like a charm.

Self inflating?!?!
Leave it to the hippie to suggest that! I bet you want mother nature to come over and tuck you in herself with a glass of vegan-freindly soy milk and some crappy college freshman poetry...
Jeash you sissy! When I am your age... (what?) I had to blow up my soft cushy matress my self! That's right! I had to hook up the pump and wait up to 2 minutes as it inflates... none of this instant gratification for us real men!
And then after I get my hotpocket from the microwave hooked up to the car adapter and finish watching "Finding Neverland" on my PSP, I sleep soundly knowing that I'm roughing it just like the indians did!
You know... except without the fire water and totem poles...
Well, maybe a little fire water
