[pct-l] sleeping pad

[pct hiker]

Thanks Mango. I don't intend to use a foam pad under the sleeping pad but I'll 
be really careful to make sure the floor is clear of anything that could cause a 
puncture. One other thing, I'll test the pad at the store by blowing it up and 
checking for leaks before I leave the store. Thanks again.

pct-hiker,
One thing I forgot to mention.  I slept in a tent with a floor and used a piece 
of tyvek as a ground sheet.  With that and the closed cell foam pad, I minimized 
the puncture risk.  My NeoAir was leaky from the start, not from a puncture on 
the trip.  And I could sleep on my side with comfort with the new one.  Good 
luck.

Thank you all for your responses to my "NeoAir" question. Now after reading all 
these I'm uncertain as to what I will do. It was like an 80/20 response in favor 

however, the puncture problem worries me. I do always use a tent so maybe that 
problem would be reduced for me. We'll see, I have another two weeks before I'm 
back out there trudging up and over Forrester Pass. Thanks again.
