Why I returned the Exped Megamat Duo Sleeping Pad

Mike N' S'mores4 years ago4 years ago25 mins

Earlier this year we picked up the Exped Megamat Duo Sleeping Pad when it went on sale. After three camping trips and about six nights of use, it has been returned. This sleeping pad for camping was extremely comfortable but it developed a separation at the seam and started letting air out. Our most recent…

A hidden gem we found when cruising around June Lake this summer. What a cool story!
Little slice of paradise
Sometimes you don't have to go far... Flowers at our local hike are popping off right now! Oh, and we saw a snake!
Sunsets hit different when you're #camping
When we found the Palm oasis in Anza-Borrego
Day 2 in Anza-Borrego... we started the hike around 8am and it was beautiful. Cool, yet windy and a little overcast. We finished around 11am since 3 miles with a 7-year old birthday girl is slow-going. But she did great and had a blast climbing rocks and traversing the stream. So much color in the flowers and hills. We were searching for bighorn sheep, but couldn't find any. I know they were hiding somewhere. Finished the day with Burgers and Shakes at @big_horn_burgers highly recommended. This was last week and I've read that the blooms are already gone mostly because of the warmer weather and wind this weekend. Anza-Borrego Desert State Park has become one of my favorite places to explore. And I've only scratched the surface. Can't wait to get back out there! @anzaborregodesertsp @anzaborrego
