DIY - Trim down your foam sleeping pad

Trimming your foam sleeping pad down can shave a few ounces, make it easier to pack and the insulating value stays the same. I recently trimmed my ensolite pad down to fit exactly inside my sleeping bag. Yep, inside! The resultant weight is just 6 ounces, and it is just as comfortable as before.  (Thermarest folks, you’re out of luck on this one.)
