I am preparing my camping equipment and find that I need new stuff.

I replaced some of my gear, added some other and deleted a few too.

Now, question: Does anyone else here camp regularly and if you do, can you recommend a good ground pad? I have tried air mattresses and they are fine for overnight, on grass, if I remember the batteries.

I like solid, closed-cell foam the best. Lightweight, soft yet firm and inexpensive. My pad was an old GI issue pad, 3/8" thick but a mouse got into it and it now has holes. I never really liked it anyway; I always felt every rock and root.

Suggestions?
