Camp Pad

Camping pads are generally found at sporting goods stores, or in the sporting goods department of big department stores. The kind most useful to the Amtgarder are those that are of a decent quality, and are all foam. The expandable foam covered with nylon is not a good choice. Higher quality camp pads will have a much finer cell structure, and shouldn't make a popping sound when squeezed. Lower quality pads will have noticable bubbles in the structre, and may pop when you squeeze very hard. Each one is usable, though higher quality foam will last longer, and need replacement far less freqently.

Camp pad foam is easily glued with carpet glue and DAP. The higher quality foam is also easier to stick tapes to.

There's a rumor that some people sleep on the stuff, but it's not verifiable at this time.
