Don't know why I waited so long to purchase. I do a lot of kayak camping and most sites are either rocky or sand. Neither are comfortable for sleeping bit this cot is a game changer. Slept like a baby. The straps secured my sleeping pad and kept it from sliding off the cot.The bag it comes in is sturdy and fits well with enough space to get it packed in without excessive struggle. Was able to set it up inside my 2 person zion tent.
