>>935131>put a huge assed pile of leaves on the ground and sleep on thatThis is actually a recommended form of ground insulation in the Army handbook for when you don't have your issued gear on you.

>Pine boughs. I considered this as well. the same amount of airspace could be created, but as you said, the efficacy would decrease due to the increase in airflow inside that airspace. Punctures could also prove to be an issue. Still, better than nothing.>clothing [as fill]Yeah, I was thinking about that when we were discussing this as well. In that case, baffles would be a hinderance, but it makes a lot more sense than having completely separate day and night insulation, doesn't it? I'll definitely be doing this, whether I procede with natural fill or not; it's simply a waste to not use it.

>>934891>I don't go out for a month at a time so my opinion is invalidDon't be ridiculous, the reason your opinion isn't valid is because this thread is about using leaves as insulation and you're shilling down.
>kit listI carry a seasonally appropriate sleep system, water container and filter, food, fishing kit and first aid kit. If I'm going out with friends I might carry some non-pertinent items such as a cook kit, sitting pad or tent. The whole of my summer gear when traveling alone is about 4lbs, not including food and water.
>>936016>shouldn't be stripping green treesIn most cases, there should be enough deadfall to not require using live trees.
