Was at our Cub Scout campout this weekend and my son and 2 other cubs were in my tent I was hanging and the dads were sleeping one tent over.
After I got all comfy on my blue pad and sleeping bag pulled up around me,
I realized I could hear muffled sounds of the cubs and started feeling claustrophobic, it didn't help that every now and again a waft o smoke would drift under my tarp.
It took about 30 minutes for the feeling to pass, but I definitely felt like pulling out my spare tent and sleeping on the ground. (though I did realize it was claustrophobia and not foolishness, before I opted not to dwell on the ground ).
Anybody else come across this. It seem to be more related to all the work it took to get comfortable on a pad and sleeping bag, and the fact I might have to get up in 5 mins to check on the cubs. But after 30 some years of sleeping on the ground and only one season of hanging, I want to also make sure it isn't like quitting smoking and I am having ground withdrawal......
