RE: Camping mat
Sorry D97, I mean platform that was built into my shelter.

I don't know what the type of shelter is called as its probably got some really cool technical name Wink.
Just two branches crossed and lashed at either end with one of each pair of branched longer than the other to provide the roof supports. Then two more branches the length of your body to join both sides and provide your sleeping platform.

After that its just a case of some longer sticks and foliage for the the roof and lots of short sticks for your bed platform.

It can take hours to get it right but I'm pretty good at it now so I can have up a very robust and comfortable shelter in around 30 minutes, practice makes perfect so I'm told.

I hope that helps.
