    Yoga mat

    Has anyone thought of using a yoga mat to make a pad?
    They're lightweight, inexpensive, wide, and flexible..???

    I've looked at yoga pads before. They seem to be pretty dense and heavy compared to the CCF camping pads.

    I found one at TJ Maxx awhile back that is the lightest I've seen. $5, too! It works as a great pack frame when folded and for insulation in warmer weather when I don't take my UQ. Super light, but I haven't seen any more like it.

    For car camping

    For car camping, seems like they'd work fine.

    Here is something I have been thinking about http://www.foambymail.com/Volara.html We used it when doing sunroof when I was in the car business and they use it for landeau tops. Since I don't have a hammock yet I can't see myself spending the money but it seems pretty cheap to me.

    I think this is a good idea. I am going to try it tonight. I would expect the yoga mat to be warmer than the CCF because it is denser and heavier. However, it is much easier to pack than a bulky ccf.
