My inflatable sleeping pad popped at 2am in Rocky Mountain National Park

I was camped at Bear Lake and woke up flat on the ground in freezing temps. Had to patch it with duct tape and reinflate by mouth every 2 hours - anyone else had a pad fail on them in the middle of nowhere?

Why didn't you just bring a proper foam pad? They never fail.

Last season I slept on one of those thin blue foam pads that folds up to nothing. Worst night of my life. Every rock and root poked through like I was lying on a bag of wrenches. You gotta get a closed cell foam pad at least an inch thick.
