On a cot


Here we have a chubby guy on a World War II Army surplus cot.  Every family I knew 
growing up had one of those god-awful things, and  nobody could sleep on one.

  1. I sleep on one very similar to that. It didn't take me long to top it with a piece of plywood, an air mattress, and a foam pad. It is small, but so is my bedroom.

    1. I didn't know those things were still around. I'm glad you modified it.

  2. They were terrible and very heavy, but it's all we had for a very long time.

    1. God yes, I remember having to lug ours around on trail rides. And then not being able to sleep on the damn thing when I got it where it was supposed to be.

  3. That brings back long forgotten memories! A couple of sleeping bags made it slightly more comfortable, but I was a kid when we had one and less likely to complain! Lol.

    1. I was a kid, too, and I complained. We didn't have anything as nice as sleeping bags, only worn out blankets.
