We love the outdoors, so we wish to return to monke and to Stone Age ways and sensibilities insofar as we're able. Current research has shown that tribal men were tall, healthy Chads (unless stranded on a small island for generations; all species slowly shrink when isolated in this way; look up pygmy mammoths and the Sentinelese), and that agriculture and its consequences (serving aristocrats, the industrial revolution, etc.) degenerated men into diseased, inbred, retarded manlets, e.g. Europeans prior to the 20th century.
If you wish to camp in a new location each night, there are few viable alternatives to the pad and bag. Ultralight folding cots exist, but are expensive and break at the drop of a hat. Hammocks exist, but hammockfags only put theirs up to snap a picture to post on /out/ (they actually sleep in bags on pads).
The one thing I can suggest to you is to try making some sort of bough mattress, if feasible in your area. This sucks to do every night, unfortunately, because it's time-consuming. Other than that, bedroll is the only other way.
