I take a cotton shirt and put my pillow in the shirt. If i need a shirt, ibhave an extra.

I am going on a thru hike in 1 month in my home state in Australia that is 1000kms (624 miles). I have been watching for the past few months and have learned so much. As someone who used to suffer with depression im so afraid of the post hike depression bringing that back. But I'm so excited to accomplish the Bibbulmun Track and the thousand kilometres.

I used to let a little air out of my pad. But after lots of winter camping, I’m used to sleeping on it fully inflated. R-value is rated when pads are fully inflated and can go down on some insulated pads if they aren’t fully inflated. I need all the warmth I can get on cold Colorado nights. The hardest part of sleeping at night in winter or shoulder season is keeping my nose warm. 😆

Tip from the Army: if you're going to use a pee bottle, you definitely want a wide mouth like Gatorade if you're a dude (cannot speak for the ladies) and you want to handle it very carefully and deliberately and (excuse me here, please) be very careful not to dribble afterwards if you're in an awkward position. In the Army, everyone acts like pee bottles are totally gross - but after you've gotten up at 0230 5 nights in a row and taken almost 20 minutes to get all your gear on, walk 100 yards to the latrine and back, then get everything off again... ... you're gonna use a pee bottle.

The T-shirt over the mattress and stuffed with whatever is ok. I've often wondered why pillows aren't incorporated in the construction of a mattress, with a concave section in the middle to keep your head in place might work.

Good job

I really like the Pillow X by Klymit. The X indentation makes it easy for it to stay in one place against your head. It works great for side and back sleeping 👍

I need to find a way to strap my full sized pillow to bed here at home! I toss and turn and inevitably chase my pillow! As for the mask w/ speaker in it... Ive had one for almost a year now and love it! Not expensive.. Fits exceptionally well, speakers do not hurt side sleeping, and the quality of sound is pretty good too

My tip is a hammock.

We are looking at the ULA Circuit however, which is the best fabric? They have three! We really enjoy your channel and appreciate the information! Thanks- Kent

2:39 Same for me with the zpacks stuffsack pillow! But during the day it keeps my quilt dry, clothes are in another sack. I keep my backpack above my sleeping pad so I can kind of wedge the pillow against that to keep it from sliding.

Just glad to hear you're back out, feeling good, and gaining confidence. Just don't end up as a story on "Kyle Hates Hiking!" 🤣

the extremities of the poles are nowhere near your chest I don't get it.

We are planning on hiking the Camino Ingles - The English Way in Spain for the 2026 total eclipse.

I'm thinking of doing the Camino (Portuguese way) next year and I'm just rewatching your old videos :)

I need to figure out a way to sleep without my cpap machine. Im looking into a inflatable wedge pillow, that maybe i can then attach somehow to the pack for a good incline. See if that works. I wanna hike the AZT pretty badly.

I'm so glad you suggested hammocks and that you linked to Shug's channel. He got me started hammocking years ago. Now I'm having to get used to the idea of using a tent, because I'm doing the JMT. Thanks for another great video!

I add big ski international 1 oz inflatable pillow into zpacks pillow sack plus a shirt or a puffy - this gives a strucure of inflatable pillow with plushness of puffy and surface/organization of zpacks thing

Stunning view nice sound. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.

Absolutely helpful

I've heard that a clear , glass, bottle filled with filtered water, and set in direct sunlight for at least 8hrs to purify this water. UV rays .! Sounds like sun tea !

Personally, in the past, I would sleep on my backpack.😊

LOVE

Cleaning up at night with Portowipes (dehydrated baby wipes) with warm water from your camp stove when you’re cooking dinner is such a luxury

Some Psychotronic Harassement Sleep Manipulation will do Fugg Off

Thanks Dixie for a really great review of how to sleep better. Muchly appreciated. - Shybee

Is it on the at?

Hey, Dixie. I’ve heard about women using a peanut butter jar/container for peeing in the middle of the night. The opening is much wider than a Gatorade bottle. As for hammocks, I’d be interested in trying a Haven Tent. They allow you to lie flat while suspended in the hammock!👍🏼

if you don't sleep well "at home" don't have the expectation that you will sleep well on trail. my best advice is to get up early and hike as much as possible, for as long as you can. the same way hunger makes things taste good, exhaustion can help us sleep in less than ideal situations.

I like how she muses over everything that could possibly happen good or bad it really provides me perspective 🫶🏼

You are such a pro! It's great to be following you. Are you going to have the birth in a log cabin with a midwife? I wouldn't either.

Good video. Thanks.

A small piece of shock cord with some clips tied to your pillow will do the job. I saw a video a few years ago of someone doing this and it has made a HUGE improvement on my quality of sleep. Love the video!

My sleeping bag has a spot under it for my to stick my pillow into, so my head never actually touches the pillow. On occasion it will start to slip out, but most of the time it does a really nice job of holding it in place. I know a lot of people do it, but I can never do the clothes in a bag as a pillow. The lumpiness of it drives me crazy, and I can never make it comfy.

@0:12 Are you thinking of clompleting the internation Appalachian trail... before you retrire from trekking?

Car Camping Tip: I buy 4 Walart el-cheepo pillows ($6.00) and no matter where I slide in my tent, I have a pillow near my head.

I have the 10 degree down Zenbivy Light Bed with insulated hood and absolutely love it. I also have the Zebbivy Bed 10 degree down xl for car camping. Once you switch, you'll never go back.

I made a pretty tight fitting little pillow case for my inflatable out of an old flannel sheet. The flannel is soft and comfortable and doesn’t travel around my sleeping pad as much. I also use it as my laundry bag and wash it whenever doing my wash….way better than the repeated sweaty use of the bare pillow

I commonly sleep in my hammock in the backyard just because it’s so comfortable.

I pack a fitted twin sized bamboo sheet to put over my sleep pad. I can't stand being confined, so a sleeping bag liner won't work for me (I use a quilt). It's soft, and seems to also reduce condensation if I have to burrow my face in for warmth.

I've been tossing and turning for most of the night every time I'm in the woods for years. I'm seriously considering making the leap from a tent to a hammock. I'm glad you mentioned that solution, because I think a lot of people don't even consider it.

I have misophonia so when I am getting triggered my SleepPhones come to the rescue. They go with me on all my travels.

Mommy

Earplugs have made sleeping so much easier. I use the cheapest ones. They block out all the little noises and rustles but still let you hear the big noises.

If you have a Sea to Summit pillow you can email them and request some velcro stickers to make your pillow lock to a different brand's pad. It was free of charge when I did it.

As a side sleeper, I inflate my pad more than it should be. Then I put my hip and shoulder into it a bit harder than I would when laying down. Deflate until the just touch the ground. That way when I'm fully spread across the pad nothing touches the ground, but I get the most even padding spread and insulation.

I got a Duplex during the pandemic. I wanted to save weight over my hammock setup, but I just seem to still pick the hammock 95 percent of the time. It's not so much the sleeping part as it is crawling down to the ground after a long day hiking. I often find myself cramping up with the weird positions getting in.

Check out 1000 hours outside! It's such an awesome community on getting ourselves and our little ones outside.

I use a nalgene bottle for a pee bottle. So far no in tent disasters. Large top and easy to screw on and off. Just get up on you knees and go.

Hammock for me every time where i live at in the midwest
