I experienced this while camping in the Sonoran desert. They call to each other over pretty long distances. It can feel like you're surrounded and be a bit unnerving, if you're not used to it. You learn to enjoy the free concert.
Nemo Fillo Elite. Integrated stuff sack, super comfy soft cover, less than 3 oz, not too thick. And if you want extra thickness for side sleeping you can still stuff clothes in the bottom.
While back I was packing in Grayson Highlands and surrounded by coyotes half the night. It was like a movie. Called the wife and told her I loved her, lol. Prepped for a fight. Nothing happened.
Hello 👋 Bryce, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for the tag along. This was a fun outing. One disappointment, we didn't see Bigfoot. All the best to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy out there. 🤗
Another vote for the outdoor vitals stretch pillow! I got it free with an order or else I probably wouldn't have scraped up the money but it's well worth it. It's slightly lighter and doesn't move around as much as an off-brand one I had previously got from Amazon. I also use a buff over it for easy cleaning.
I own one of these but I have trouble keeping it from moving around w/ a top quilt (it works great w/ a mummy bag) But I feel like my Trekology ALUFT 2.0 works better w/ a pad having a strap on it
I like the Outdoor Vitals pillow too. They had a deal where if you paid for shipping it was free. It really does fit my hear better than my Sea to Summit pillow. Thumbs up.
LMAO!! I absolutely LOVE your fanny pack! That’s awesome. Hilltop Packs has great gear. I wonder how hard Ben McMillan would laugh if I asked for the ‘Official Bryce Newbold Signature Series’ fanny pack
First let me say I camp 90% in a hammock now! Back in the day I used my sleeping bag sack and filled it with clothes and tent bags, I was young and thought it was macho not taking a silly pillow. I now own three camp pillows, Sierra Madre Research Pufflo older version (two parts in one) inflatable inner chamber and an outer soft insulation, the Nemo Fillo pillow (similar to the Pufflo) and a Wise Owl Medium Camp Pillow (similar to a regular home pillow with 100% polyester fill). All three are close in size with the Pufflo the largest and thickness, but it is the softest and most luxurious of the three. Your head actually falls into this cloud with ease, and the insulation keeps in quiet compared to the pool float noice of air pillows. My personal preference is Pufflo, then the Wise Owl and last the Nemo. But I could not use the Wise Owl type in my hammock, neck break! All 3 Pack down about the same, but the Nemo is the smallest and lightest by 2 ozs. But the Pufflo can be compressed a lot more, Winter camping, I put the pufflo, extra clothes and my quilts in a light compression sack to ensure I have plenty of room for the additional winter gear. Good luck buddy!
Trekology is good with half the air. Granite Gear & Zcraps make a fleece lined stuff sack to stuff with clothes. They're the lightest and biggest I have found.
I'm a side and stomach sleeper for most part. With my xlite, I carry out a medium sized thermorest compressible memory foam pillow and a air pillow(sea to summit or OV), Along with knowing how to pack my clothes (for pillowing) I can get comfortable elevating and/or gaps to fill in on most terrain. It's my go to🤷🏾♂️
The forest that you visited something remotely reminds some types of forests in Russia. In October or November there is about the same. There are no snow yet, but there are no leaves on the trees. Coyote is certainly no, these animals are missing from us, but once I have ever heard a cry of lynx. The sound of her cry awesome. Terribly at night in the forest to hear such sounds. I was pleased that you are allowed to arrange a fire. I know that in England and other European countries, as well as in South Korea, it is often prohibited. In Russia, they are also trying to ban fires, but it is technically difficult to implement. Territory is too huge and many wild places. Nevertheless, a fine from this year is about 100 dollars. And the journey without a fire does not bring pleasure at all. As a pillow, we most often use packaging from sleeping bags filled with clothing. Also, part of the clothes can be placed under a sleeping bag. Alcohol burners are not much distributed. More often use gas, sometimes gasoline. There is a stereotype that the alcohol is sinful to burn, as it is used as a drink. Personally, I do not drink alcohol, but this phenomenon in Russia is really common widespread. This is a serious problem, unfortunately. Many do not pose fishing or visiting the forest without alcohol. Therefore, bottles of vodka and beer are often located in the wildest places.
I like that tent, I am considering a 1 person pole tent from Geertop that’s a little over $100 on Amazon that’s made like that, it’s 2 lbs, not ultralight but no more backpacking/trail-hiking than I do, I think it’s good enough for me.
Great video. That backpacker running by creeped me out. Lots of colors, I thought "Clown shapeshifter gonna end Bryce!" Nemo fillo luxury. I'm a side-sleeper and sleep much better with it despite the weight. Gladly cut weight elsewhere. Picked up after a tip from Restless. I got the RR pants using a Sintax discount. Love the vents on the sides!
Pillow: Sea To Summit small if your a back sleeper. Large if your a side sleeper. Felt on one side is very comfy. They both deflate down to a package smaller than a tennis ball, like the size of a racquet ball and about 2oz. Sometimes it's nice to have a "known" spot to camp at. Less pressure to find camp more time to relax. Allegheny national forest is good for coyotes too. Sounds like you're due for an exhaust overhaul.
I recently changed to a different exped sleeping pad that’s lighter than my old one ( I am not comfortable on the neoair either) and I saw the exped pillow pump on their website for 5oz and decided to give it a try just for the heck of it.. ended up being my favorite pillow!! And as a bonus it also pumps up my air pad so I don’t have to blow it up and get lightheaded.. lol.. another bonus for me is that it weighs a few ounces less than the pillow I had before. 🤗
I use a travel pillow I picked up at bed bath and beyond. It’s a blow up, very comfy and stashes in pack great. Aren’t the coyotes interesting! Love the Fanny pack. The running backpacker was pretty funny!
Best budget pillow - Trekology ALUFT 2.0. I also love the Nemo Fillo Elite. There's also a luxury version so depending on how much weight you're looking to carry, you can get something with a better pillow feel. The most "normal" pillow is the Thermarest compressible but it's quite large pack wise.
Trekology Aluft Pillow 2.0 is 97.5g (3.4oz) on my scale without the silly elastic strap to keep it in place. It's got some height to it which is way more comfy for side sleeping for me.
The sea to Summit ultralight Aeros regular size pillow is really compact and extremely light. It is a little stretchy which makes it more comfortable than others like the trekology pillow.
I've tried a Trekology pillow, a Thermarest Airhead, and the Outdoor Vitals pillow. Out of those, I pretty much just use the OV pillow. I sleep in a hammock, so I don't know how much that effects pillow comfort, but I just take 2 of those (one for my legs) and don't worry about it.
My brother and I hiked into Wayne National around Murry City. Local theives broke into his vehicle. There are a ton of Coyote down there for sure. We loved going there and camping back in the middle of nowhere but we felt like suckers leaving our car anywhere.
I used a Hammock Gear Pillow which is great for hammock but not ground. I used the S2S Aeros for my Thru Hike both in the hammock, shelters, and hostels. However it leaked and I had to replace it. When the 2nd one failed, I went with the cheaper Trekology. Love it best of all. I let out a lot of air for hammock, but blow pretty full when in a shelter or tent. It is larger and more versatile plus softer than the Aeros. Still lighter than Dan Beckers bulky pillow! Love the Waist Pack!
I like the trekology pillow w/ strap for my head and the Outdoors Vitals pillow for between my knees. The photo on the Fanny pack is probably what scared away the coyotes.
Bryce - I've tried a few pillows and the only one that is comfortable for me is the Thermarest Compressible Pillow. It's not UL at all, but very comfortable. Thanks for sharing -dave
I’ve enjoyed my free klymit pillow. It has that x design that cradles your ear. I find inflatable pillows to be rather hard and the klymit one doesn’t push your ear into your head.
Not going to lie my first thought when I saw that guy running, especially after you said it was a backpacker and not a trail runner was: What's he running from?! 😂
I've had coyotes bark at me twice, both times at night. The first time I think I camped in their coyote pathway and they were surprised to find me. Second time outside Ajo, AZ freaked me out. Sounded like I was surrounded and that they were close, went on for quite a while. The happy yipping sound is much nicer.
I've used three pillows, Sea to Summit Aeros Deluxe, Outdoor Vitals pillow, and Trekology Aluft 2.0. I love all of them for different reasons, but I would say the Trekology is my favorite for the strap on the back that goes around the sleeping pad to keep it in place. It's also light and packs down really small, think soda can. The sea to summit one is really nice for colder trips because its got a felt case and keeps my head a bit warmer. The OV one is really nice for hammock camping since its so light and is really comfortable when partially inflated.
Yes trekolgy 2.0 is the best 👌 I love mine so much. Justin outdoors channel on RUclips has done the most comprehensive review of pillows and he chose that one as the winner as well. Too many features to love about that pillow
I don’t like a thick pillow so I’m currently grabbing the Nemo fillo elite most of the time. It’s ridiculously priced, but it has just a little layer of insulation and a nice cover that gives it a much better feel and if you remove all the tags and the integrated stuff sack it’s 2oz.
Awesome video. You are a Backpackers, Backpacker. Pillow- Sea To Summit or typical Bryce Newbold fashion; inflatable one with included straw (10 grams) from Garage Grown Gear. Modeled after ones an EMT would use for a patient. They’re like $3 or 4 for $10.
Sea to summit aeros UL. If the fabric doesn't feel sexy enough on your skin, cover it with a buff or t-shirt. Held up on my thru hike and still going strong. Very comfy
I tested air pillows but I just couldn’t get used to it. The Thermarest compressible pillow feels like a real one, it is heavier but definitely worth it for me. Also the Klymit ASTM R value is 1.9 compared to 4.2 for the Neoair xlite. It explains why you felt cold.
Simply Light Designs climashield pillow! So comfy. Best $20 I've spend on gear. Also packs perfectly into a carry on for flights to have a pillow on the plane.
I like the Sea to summit Aeros premium or the Nemo Fillo elite. I think the Fillo is slightly softer but the valve can stick sometimes and be a pain (in my experience). I usually only half inflate my pillows though, and I find that more comfortable.
I went car camping close to home last week and I had several coyotes walking through my campsite and howling during the night. They would begin scavenger through the campsites at 9pm every night.
'Klymit kush, inflatable travel seat, pillow cushion'.. half inflated is comfortable.. single double triple & quadruple fold thickness, w/ ear depressions.. super versatile, I put it vertical w/bottom folded behind my back for lumbar support when driving long distance, or ul camp chairs. 👍
Pillows are very subjective. I used 2 inflatable ones, including the out vitals. It worked.. but I never slept … ‘good’. I now use thermarest , 2 styles. First is the classic 6 oz one. It is magic tho- recommend. My ul one, is their stuff sack/ soft sided inner linner( u flip it inside out & use clothes. Works GREAT!
Nice overnighter! For the pillow it depends on what you find comfortable. I hate inflatable pillows but it sounds like that's what you're set on to save weight. Trekology I guess? I love my thermarest small compressible pillow but it's 7.5ozs. You can't beat the comfort however.
Thermorest crushable foam pillow 👍Game Changer I don't always comment but I'd have to say I like your style. I love hiking but I love wasting hours around a fire as well. Good stuff
Sea to summit inflatable pillow... Rolls down to fist size 👍 glad to see you sheepishly joining the fanny pack wagon. 😜 As always, hike hard! Stay safe! Love life! ✌️
Ok. So. Put your rubberbands on your wrist. It eventually becomes automatic. Sometimes at the end of a day (at home) I could have 2 or 3 rubber bands on my wrist, but if I find something open, there they are. Rubber band tip back atcha. I use them all the time at home and they weigh next to nothing so there are a couple in my ditty bag for sure, or wrapped around gear.
Thought there would be more people recommending my personal favorite pillow, the Klymit Luxe. $40, 6.4oz, great for side/back/active sleeping and folds up really small. The soft cover over the inflation bladder takes it to the next level. My original one got a small hole recently after a couple years of use and Klymit replaced it outright, awesome customer service.(if you want a free pillow that needs a patch job I'd send you mine lol)
I just use the cheap inflatable pillows Walmart sells for hammocks works alright when I sleep on the ground just need to make a pad strap so it doesn't slide off in middle of the night
I always used to be a jacket sleeper. I did a few nights with the Sea to Summit pillow, not the UL one but the next lightest one, it was okay, not that great for me at least. I have heard good things about the Amazon Trekology pillow, so maybe I'll try that or just go back to jacket sleeping.
Outdoor vitals free pillow. Low R value so wrap in clothes. I have the Klymit insulated static v also. Good at dolly sods in October in 20's with 20 degree quilt.
I'm still on the hunt for the rare comfy AND light pillow!! But DON'T get a plastic blow up pillow!! Great video, I have ADHD as well, I do the same thing with a zippered pocket so I understand 😊
The Klymit X pillow is 2.3 oz w/o the bag and packs down to the size of a small wallet. I'm primarily a hammock camper and only inflate it 1/3 of the way to cradle my head. When I tent camp I inflate it over half way for more support. At less than $20 it's worth the shot.
Sea to Summit aeros premium is my fav pillow. Very comfy and has a little R value to it my face likes. That running hiker was booking it…LoL. Really liked the edit on this vid…nice.
Hey Bryce. Thanks for taking us along! When I worked in New Mexico for the Forest Service, the locals would call that a white man fire. Too big to stay close to stay warm. Have you ever considered a small twig stove or even a medium sized twig stove. Maybe a firebox or the nano. Emberlit original. You can use pretty much all twig stoves as pot stands for alcohol stoves. Just wondering. Tons more people are heading into our outside escapes and burning tons of firewood and not always putting them out all the way. A lot of the Canadian utuber canoers i follow are actually including LNT lessons in their vids. It’d be great if the newbolds, beckers and kyle hates backpacking folk would include LNT lessons. I’ve seen dogshit bags hanging in trees, ive dug up another’s shit with my boot and packed out lots o garbage. This pandemic has brought havoc to our wild places. Just a thought. ✌🏽
Bryce when that hiker ran by you, I could hear him on video before seeing him. I thought what the hell was running through your camp. Your face was funny as shit! Very funny. One of these days I hope to run into you and the Schill Bros.
I have used a few different pillows, currently I use the Outdoor Vitals pillow it weighs in at 3 oz. I believe they have a special on their pillows at the moment just pay for shipping.
Nice video! I’ve got a Hammock Gear 30 degree quilt and I sleep cold. I also have the Klymit and it keeps me warm! Go figure! Anyway, thanks for reppin Ohio!
I tried the Outdoor vitals pillow, it just isn't thick enough for me, but if you don't need a thick pillow it is great. I got a pillow off Amazon that is actually for a footrest for short people on airplanes. It's the same weight as the outdoor vital pillow, but cheaper and thicker..it's my forever backpacking pillow.
I experienced this while camping in the Sonoran desert. They call to each other over pretty long distances. It can feel like you're surrounded and be a bit unnerving, if you're not used to it. You learn to enjoy the free concert.
I find it strangely comforting. I live and camp mostly in the Sonoran Desert :)
Nemo Fillo Elite. Integrated stuff sack, super comfy soft cover, less than 3 oz, not too thick. And if you want extra thickness for side sleeping you can still stuff clothes in the bottom.
I love the Therm-a-rest compressible pillow
While back I was packing in Grayson Highlands and surrounded by coyotes half the night. It was like a movie. Called the wife and told her I loved her, lol. Prepped for a fight. Nothing happened.

Trekology pillow is cheap, lightweight, and comes with a strap that holds it on your sleeping pad. That strap is a GAME CHANGER for me!!
LMAO!! I absolutely LOVE your fanny pack! That’s awesome. Hilltop Packs has great gear. I wonder how hard Ben McMillan would laugh if I asked for the ‘Official Bryce Newbold Signature Series’ fanny pack

That light compression sack seems like a good idea.
Old timer here (65). Always carry once heading out. Better to have it and not need it than vice versa!
Yep. The OV stretch pillow. Not the lightest option but it’s not noisy and it’s soft. It’s also durable and packs tiny
Not usually a ground dweller, but when i have to, i use a Trekology Aluft 2.0 inflatable pillow. I like the wood splitting technique, too
I have 2 of the Aluft 2.0 myself and they are very comfortable pillows for backpacking!
You need a "My Pillow". Only the best haha.
I've looked into it. Haha!
Love your humor. Became a subscriber after Frozen gave us a link in his 2018 video.
Trekology is good with half the air.
Granite Gear & Zcraps make a fleece lined stuff sack to stuff with clothes. They're the lightest and biggest I have found.
That’s what I do with my Trekology pillow.. half the air is the way to go
Going to post my solo video soon, I also showed the livability of my tent, I like to see how others use their gear. Good job on the videos
I'm a side and stomach sleeper for most part. With my xlite, I carry out a medium sized thermorest compressible memory foam pillow and a air pillow(sea to summit or OV), Along with knowing how to pack my clothes (for pillowing) I can get comfortable elevating and/or gaps to fill in on most terrain.

About pillows: I have had a pillow filled with wheat husks and I always liked it. It's supposed to be cleaned by baking in the oven.
A 16 pound (& change) backpack fully loaded out… WITH WATER? That’s fantastic.
haha that fella runnin past was funny i was thinkin wot the f-k lol yes great video bro

I'm probably heading down there weekend after next. My favorite part of Wayne for sure. I do have a couple creepy incidents while down there.
Oh! Sea to Summit Aeros pillow is the best!! Love that pillow
awesome thanks!
The sea to Summit ultralight Aeros regular size pillow is really compact and extremely light. It is a little stretchy which makes it more comfortable than others like the trekology pillow.

Like your new truck. I hike in Friday night and camp by great cave. Then continue on the trail loop counter - clockwise.
Nice. I've always wanted to camp in that area but not sure of the good spots
Great video sea to summit pillows are really nice
Hey, have you ever thought about clipping the little straight part of the clip on the serenity tent. Make it easier to clip to the tarp?
Awesome video. You are a Backpackers, Backpacker.
Pillow- Sea To Summit or typical Bryce Newbold fashion; inflatable one with included straw (10 grams) from Garage Grown Gear. Modeled after ones an EMT would use for a patient. They’re like $3 or 4 for $10.
haha.. thanks mark

'Klymit kush, inflatable travel seat, pillow cushion'.. half inflated is comfortable.. single double triple & quadruple fold thickness, w/ ear depressions.. super versatile, I put it vertical w/bottom folded behind my back for lumbar support when driving long distance, or ul camp chairs. 👍
you can whittle, even with the tiniest swiss knife. Lots of inspo on youtube

It is magic tho- recommend. My ul one, is their stuff sack/ soft sided inner linner( u flip it inside out & use clothes. Works GREAT!
Try the snugpack air ops pillow. 3ozs , and large enough to be doubled over for extra height ( side sleeping or reading).
I'll check it out! Thanks
stuff sack + dry leaves = priceless pillow
such a great idea honestly.. idk why ive never done that!
Nice overnighter! For the pillow it depends on what you find comfortable. I hate inflatable pillows but it sounds like that's what you're set on to save weight. Trekology I guess? I love my thermarest small compressible pillow but it's 7.5ozs. You can't beat the comfort however.
Oh wow yea that is pretty heavy. Haha.. I bet it's so comfy though. Wouldn't mind a heavy one for short trips. Thanks!
Decathlon forclaz trekking pillow - the rectangular grey one. It is a bit on the heavy side but it's super comfortable.
Thermorest crushable foam pillow 👍Game Changer
I don't always comment but I'd have to say I like your style.
I love hiking but I love wasting hours around a fire as well.
Good stuff
Thanks. Appreciate it. I love hiking and camping equally I think 👍
Sea to summit inflatable pillow... Rolls down to fist size 👍 glad to see you sheepishly joining the fanny pack wagon. 😜 As always, hike hard! Stay safe! Love life! ✌️
I live in south eastern Ohio. I done an over night at Wayne national forest outside of oakhill oh. Coyote were just as bad all night.
We were at Zaleski a few years ago and they were crazy at night. One approached our camp in the morning, but my dachshund scared him off.
My pillow/Mike Lindale.
🤣
Ok. So. Put your rubberbands on your wrist. It eventually becomes automatic. Sometimes at the end of a day (at home) I could have 2 or 3 rubber bands on my wrist, but if I find something open, there they are. Rubber band tip back atcha. I use them all the time at home and they weigh next to nothing so there are a couple in my ditty bag for sure, or wrapped around gear.
i try this. but then i forgot to do it.. lol.. life is struggle with ADHD
Tried several pillows. Sea to Summitt probably best of the bunch. Good video. Thanks
Thank you
Thought there would be more people recommending my personal favorite pillow, the Klymit Luxe. $40, 6.4oz, great for side/back/active sleeping and folds up really small. The soft cover over the inflation bladder takes it to the next level. My original one got a small hole recently after a couple years of use and Klymit replaced it outright, awesome customer service.(if you want a free pillow that needs a patch job I'd send you mine lol)
Hmn. I'll check back into that one. I got the trekology.. its "ok"
I just use the cheap inflatable pillows Walmart sells for hammocks works alright when I sleep on the ground just need to make a pad strap so it doesn't slide off in middle of the night
I always used to be a jacket sleeper. I did a few nights with the Sea to Summit pillow, not the UL one but the next lightest one, it was okay, not that great for me at least. I have heard good things about the Amazon Trekology pillow, so maybe I'll try that or just go back to jacket sleeping.
Outdoor vitals free pillow. Low R value so wrap in clothes. I have the Klymit insulated static v also. Good at dolly sods in October in 20's with 20 degree quilt.
I love wildlife encounters but imma need a written guarantee of my safety. 😂🤣
The Nemo fillo pillow. Not the smallest, but even with no air the foam is super comfortable.
I use an outdoor vitals pillow with a buff over it. They often offer it for just the cost of shipping.
I’ve had several coyotes surround me at one of the primitive back county campsites at East Fork lake state park in Ohio.
I'm still on the hunt for the rare comfy AND light pillow!! But DON'T get a plastic blow up pillow!! Great video, I have ADHD as well, I do the same thing with a zippered pocket so I understand 😊
Pillow recommendation: xped mega pillow sooo comfortable
The Klymit X pillow is 2.3 oz w/o the bag and packs down to the size of a small wallet. I'm primarily a hammock camper and only inflate it 1/3 of the way to cradle my head. When I tent camp I inflate it over half way for more support. At less than $20 it's worth the shot.
Sea to Summit aeros premium is my fav pillow. Very comfy and has a little R value to it my face likes. That running hiker was booking it…LoL. Really liked the edit on this vid…nice.
thank Kriz! appreciate it
Your color sense is so subdued. ❤️💫
Hey Bryce. Thanks for taking us along! When I worked in New Mexico for the Forest Service, the locals would call that a white man fire. Too big to stay close to stay warm. Have you ever considered a small twig stove or even a medium sized twig stove. Maybe a firebox or the nano. Emberlit original. You can use pretty much all twig stoves as pot stands for alcohol stoves. Just wondering. Tons more people are heading into our outside escapes and burning tons of firewood and not always putting them out all the way. A lot of the Canadian utuber canoers i follow are actually including LNT lessons in their vids. It’d be great if the newbolds, beckers and kyle hates backpacking folk would include LNT lessons. I’ve seen dogshit bags hanging in trees, ive dug up another’s shit with my boot and packed out lots o garbage. This pandemic has brought havoc to our wild places. Just a thought. ✌🏽
I ride off road motorcycle in NM and AZ, I always make small fires because I only have so much water and hate to waste it extinguishing a big fire.
@@rhllnm my thoughts exactly
No complaints about my Sea to Summit pillow. Hardly weighs a thing and it’s pretty comfortable.
I just got the same quilt, same colors and all. Good to know it's limit
In hindsight my sleeping pads arnt the warmest. If you have a thermarest xtherm it may be good much lower 👍
Love the sound of Coyote in the night. Never been to the Marrietta district of Wayne. I'll have to check it out sometime.
Sea to summit aeros pillow. I really like it.
I use the Outdoor Vitals Ultralight Stretch Pillow. Super lightweight and comfy.
😂 blame it on the route maybe it’s just good whiskey
I hated using my clothes as a pillow. It was miserable. I got a Trekology pillow and I like it. I'm also going to get a STS Areos down pillow.
Bryce when that hiker ran by you, I could hear him on video before seeing him. I thought what the hell was running through your camp. Your face was funny as shit! Very funny. One of these days I hope to run into you and the Schill Bros.
haha! yea that caught me off guard. we will probably cross paths in ohio one of these days!
Nemo fillo pillow is the best
I have used a few different pillows, currently I use the Outdoor Vitals pillow it weighs in at 3 oz. I believe they have a special on their pillows at the moment just pay for shipping.
Nice video! I’ve got a Hammock Gear 30 degree quilt and I sleep cold. I also have the Klymit and it keeps me warm! Go figure! Anyway, thanks for reppin Ohio!
I tried the Outdoor vitals pillow, it just isn't thick enough for me, but if you don't need a thick pillow it is great.
I got a pillow off Amazon that is actually for a footrest for short people on airplanes. It's the same weight as the outdoor vital pillow, but cheaper and thicker..it's my forever backpacking pillow.
