I see backpackers having these things. Do you put your sleeping bags in your backpacks? Do you sleep outside? Isn't it dangerous? Do you also make a tent? Also I have seen people having these things in big cities where not somewhere I'm wilderness
Isn't it dangerous to sleep outside? I did some backpacking but I always used to get Airbnbs, hostels or hotels. And accommodation is always more than half of budget while traveling. Is it some travel hack that makes travelling much cheaper?
I honestly don't see appeal of traveling so uncomfortable. And I mean not about sleeping outside but packing sleeping bag and carpet to sleep on. I just pack all my things in mil Tec bag and use Airbnbs and if on tight budget hostels
While I was backpacking through Turkey I meet my fellow countrymen backpacker who was on 10€ budget a day and was sleeping outside all the time and got robbed by some Turkish guys while was sleeping at beach. Where the frick you People sleep? Seems a high risk low reward activity to sleep outside.

They look gay and when I see people with them I think they're complete homosexuals.
If it's summertime, yeah, they're gays. But during the winter, you need something with at least an R-value of 3, if you got some big balls. Or the Earth is going to suck all of your body temp out.
They are probably going hiking or camping. yes sleeping bag and tent go inside the backpack, personally I also put the mat in the backpack but I'm just high IQ like that.
they're probably yoga homosexuals. you can get inflatable mattresses/pads that are much more compact if its just used for sleeping.
my backpack has straps to carry a yoga mat
I don't do yoga
what else can I put there?
A giant hotdog
Pool noodle
A baguette
A inflatable corn on the corb
For $50 or less, you can get an inflatable mattress that weighs the same and is 10x more comfortable to sleep on than those stupid mats. The inflatable mattress also takes up less space in your bag.
10 bucks a day wouldn't cover my mid day Mojito budget at lunchtime.
Nah inflatable ones definitely weigh a bit more, but it's probably worth the extra 200gr
This, plus the inflatable mat is bs. A) you need to inflate and deflate it, B) these foam ones don't mind getting punctured just cause you didn't notice some odd rock or piece of wood before putting it down, C) inflatable mattresses get fricking cold, D) their surface makes it easier for things to slide.
Beer keg. A tent. Oxygen supplies. A roll of kitchen towel. 5 umbrellas. Idk dude put there anything you want. My friend just puts extra stuff in an Ikea bag or trashbag and rolls that up. It's where the dirty laundry is kept.
no even the shittiest inflatable mattresses have higher R-value than the foam mats. Reading all your points makes me think you've tried to sleep on one of these
You've never camped in your life. It takes literally 60 seconds to inflate and deflate an inflatable camping mattress. I've used the same $30 Klymit inflatable mattress for 5 years on countless camping trips and it's never punctured. It weighs 16 ounces and compresses down to 1/4 of the size of those stupid rolling pads. Those pads weigh anywhere from 10-20 ounces and they feel exactly like sleeping on the ground. The only reason people use the pads is because they are literally dirt poor and they cost a couple bucks less.
I like how you mass replied to the guy who was agreeing with you
It's a signal that gay guys use so they can let other gays know they are gay
where in the world are they going where a simple foam mat is enough to sleep on? those packs are tiny they couldn't possibly be going into the forest with that. they would die
do you even hike? People do the PCT with 30l-40l packs and a foam mat
It's safe as long as you find a good hiding place. I usually shove myself between trees and bushes.
