My camping pillow blew up like a balloon animal

I over-inflated it and it shot across the site. Now I know exactly how much air to use for a good night's sleep.

That "launching pillow phase" kimr74 mentioned is no joke. Yours just went from bed piece to rocket ship. At least you found the right air-to-sleep ratio the explosive way.

Oh man, that's the real camping tip right there. I mean, we all focus on not deflating our sleep pads, but nobody talks about the launching pillow phase. It's kinda cool though, because that weird fail is what you'll remember from the trip, not just another night of okay sleep. You literally had to learn the hard way, and now you've got a story and a perfectly filled pillow. That's a win in my book.

Guess you found the pillow's maximum fun setting before the sleep one.

Calling that a "win" seems like a stretch. It's just a pillow that got too much air, not some major life lesson. You figured it out, now you can move on.
