I agree completely, only cause I'm a poor ole boy and don't have much money.  
My Wal-Mart tent does just fine although I have spent a few nights freezing 
wishing I had studied harder in school so I could afford a motor home with 
HEAT.  

Anyway, even though I'm poor as a Church mouse, I did go out and get a blow 
up air mattress and even spent extra for an air pump (yea, got that at 
WalMart too).  Turns out to be better than my mattress back home, the lumpy 
one with the springs coming out of it.  

My goose-neck trailer living GA buddies are always making fun of my tent, but 
when one of their horses got out one night at a ride, guess who's tent the 
horse went up to and guess who put the horse back?  (gotta admit when he woke 
me up with his snorting and I saw his head thru my tent screen window it 
scared the Hell out of me) If you are at a ride during a full moon the horses 
can make some really cool shadows on your tent late at nite, and after a few 
beers, you'll swear you're seeing them projecting weird objects on the wall 
of your tent trying to get you to guess what it is.  I've seen them make 
bears, ghosts, goblins & gouls (it was Halloween), and a huge jackolope (jack 
rabbit & antelope cross).

cya,
Howard
