Bugled Disc and sleeping in the backcountry
Looking for recommendations for a sleeping pad that will help minimize/mitigate my back pain
I’ve been backcountry camping for 10 years. 6 of those years were also spent wildland firefighting and line camping for stints of 19 days in a tent all summer long. Also been professionally guiding with many nights on the ground. At some point along the way I sustained a back injury, bulged disc and sprained L5.
I’ve been dealing with the injury for 6 years. It’s fine when I’m actively weight training and moving my body. What absolutely kills it nowadays is driving, sitting for long periods, and sleeping in a tent.
I’ve had a handful of thermarests over the years. My current is the NeoAir XLite. Great for lightweight and packability but it fucks my back with the lack of actual cushion.
I’m sadly at the point now where I can’t guide or recreate outdoors because my low back is seized and in crazy pain come morning time. I’m looking for recommendations for a really good, comfortable pad that still packs reasonably well. And even any further recommendation from anyone that always have serious low back pain and how the manage pain in the backcountry sleep setting.
