Life of a Woodsman - Grass Mattress

Ойын-сауық

With my wood bed frame complete all that is needed is a comfortable mattress. Fortunately for me this area has a lot of great resources available including lots of dead, dry grass. I gather up a few arm-loads of grass and get to work on making my mattress. It's a very simple process but one that is certainly rewarding.
I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who is sticking with me throughout this series. Your support means the world to me. Happy trails!

    There are a lot of "campers" but very very few true bushcrafters. Fairly new viewer here, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with those of us who will never have the opportunity.

    It just makes sense to make a grass mattress considering the abundance of raw materials at your disposal. I'm glad to see someone finally making a more comfortable bed instead of just sleeping on a bunch of wooden poles. Nicely done! When you get time, you should finish up and make yourself a full size straw mattress!

    I like the way you ran the polls lengthwise makes it have a little give. Your grass mat kind of reminds me of the old school 3/4 backpacking mats. I started my excursions Into the Woods at 20 now that I'm 66 I can appreciate an air mattress slipped in between a wool blanket.

    Could smoke it prior. That's how you get rid of most buggies in materials in nature. Added benefit of smelling better and repelling things in the future.
