I finally figured out why my sleeping pad kept going flat
For two years, I kept waking up on the ground at Joshua Tree, blaming a slow leak I could never find. The issue was my dog's claws making tiny punctures every time she circled before lying down, something I only noticed when I set up the pad inside my tent last weekend. Has anyone found a truly dog-proof pad, or is a separate blanket for them the only real fix?
Oh man, that's a classic dog owner problem! Honestly, I've given up on finding a pad my dog can't wreck. I just use a thick moving blanket from the hardware store for her to sleep on top of. It folds up small and protects my gear way better than anything fancy I've tried.
