Spent 12 years sleeping on the ground before my back finally said something
Turns out I had been cranking my tent stakes down way too tight every trip, and the poles were bending just enough to drop the whole thing onto my hip by 2am. Switched to a cheap foam pad last month at a site near Duluth and slept through the night for the first time in years, so what am I still getting wrong about pads?

Man, the pad thing sneaks up on you, I did the same setup for years and just thought my hips were the problem. What finally got me was realizing how much pad you actually need depends on how you sleep, since side sleepers like me need way thicker foam than back sleepers ever do. So before you buy anything else, figure out your sleep position first and match the pad to that instead of whatever is on sale.
