I spent my first night in my new Clark NA last night. It seemed very cramped. I first tried it with a regular Wal-Mart blue CFC. Then I tried the Wal-Mart 24” CFC. Then my homemade spe. They all bunched up and seemed to make sleeping less comfortable than without the pads.
About 3 in the morning I remembered that years ago I had purchased two air pads for my kids when they had slumber parties. I dug them out, both still in good shape and both 26” wide. I unrolled one, and gave it some help blowing up as I was in a hurry, then placed it in the bottom of the Clark. It spread the hammock out and held that shape much better than any of the other pads. With me in the hammock it looked as big as a one-person tent. . It didn’t bunch up when I got in the hammock or rolled on my side. When on my back, it was wide enough to extend the width of my shoulders.
Is this type of pad going to have the same insulting value as a CFC? It sure was a lot more comfortable.
