One of the most enjoyable moments in any camping trip is spending the night inside the tent with your loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, some people have issues sleeping on the ground despite earth mats and sleeping bags. If you are one such person, make use of a camping cot instead. It’s a versatile and compact folding bed that allows you to sleep in the outdoors while slightly elevated from the ground.

During World War II, the army issued foldable cots to soldiers stationed in cold weathers. But those types are made of canvas and are very heavy and bulky. Camping cots of today are much lighter and weigh an average of 8.5 pounds. The poles are also easy to carry as they are made of sturdy aluminum alloy which are very lightweight too.

Tired of sleeping on the ground? Try using camping cots. They are guaranteed to save you from those nasty cricks that you get from sleeping on cold hard campground.

I used to be content with just a sleeping bag. But I joined a buddy’s outing, and they had these cots with them. I never slept on the ground after that!
