Actually 4 and counting

I have used a roll a cot (along with my Jacks Plastic Welding 4 in thick Paco Pad) for many years.

However, I have been known to just throw down the Paco on a gravel bar, sand bar, rocky shore or what ever.

The Cot just makes it a bit more comfy and gets me above the crawlies.

Is the Roll A Cot kind to tent floors? Looks like the feet have rubber tips, but it seems like the weight would be concentrated in those four points.
You come too.

Go by Lowes and get 4 of the big round plastic furniture mover disks. Turn them upside down and put the cot legs on the foam side. For tent use

On gravel bar or ground, no problem
