well.....do ya?
Just use my clothing stuff sack and hope it doesn't get so cold that I don't have anything for a pillow.

I have a little blow up pillow that Ed Speer from Speer hammocks gave me. It inflates with a straw, weighs nothing, and packs down to less than nothing.
This weekend I used my clothing stuff sack atop a large first aid kit (I was leading a hike). Worked like a charm!

n0. I either use my goose down vest, or roll up the end of the egg shell pad.
.....and my blankie and my Teddy Bear!
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
I do, I tried the clothes in my tent bag but it goes flat and for me is uncomfortable. I picked up an inflatable one with a fleece liner at wallyworld. It does help me sleep better and I don't mind carrying it if it helps me sleep.

No, I have a thermarest fleece pouch that i put my clothing bag in.
I've got a cloth stuff sack and I'll use a pillow I got from an airplane in it... or my fleece.
up over the hills, theres nothing to fear
theres a pub across the way with whisky and beer
its a lengthy journey on the way up to the top
but it ain't so bad if you have a great big bottle o'scotch
I use my clothes bag as a pillow. I put it in my fleece lined sleeping bag stuff sack. Works great.
Yep, I use my clothes bag and wrap it in my fleece jacket. Very comfy.

what do you guyshave for clothes that you have enough for a pillow. ive got no extras. extra socks and a down jacket thats it. And if i have to wear the jacket i got nada
I use my clothes bag as well. 2 pair socks, 2 pair boxers, tshirt, poly undershirt, nylon pants, knit cap. My nephew is a pillow guy and complained about using his bag, so I bought him the fleece lined inflatable pillow from wallyworld, and iwill tell ya what that thing looks really comfortable lol. I never weighed it but if felt like about 5 ounces, so not to bad.
I get a small fleece pillow from Dicks Sporting goods. It is a fleece pillow case the has a zipper opening and was stuffed with a airplane like pillow. I took out the airplane like stuffing and fill it at night with my extra clothing. Usually my down jacket and raincoat. Works great and the fleece case only weighs 2.3 ounces.

I bought a Kelty camp pillow, cut it in half and re-sowed it. Now I have 2, but only carry one. I sleep a whole lot better with it.
You bet I did. Two of them. Cocoon travel pllows. Sleeping on a bumpy clothes bag (of which most are dirty from hiking) doesn't cut it for me.
I absolutely bring a pillow! I made my own that roles into it's own pouch about the size of a mini coke can... Well worth the space and weight.. sleeping on stinky clothes seems odd to me...
Absolutely, And prolly the only guy who likes thermarest's pillow ... wouldn't leave home without it, sleeping well is important to me ... i reserve the clothes in a stuffsack for the leg pillow to ease my back ... So i suppose i use both. =P
Not for myself but i carry one for my dad.
Nope. I stuff a stuffsack with something soft and put the sack inside a fleece vest or jacket. The weight of a pillow could be used for more warmth, much more important than convenient comfort (a pillow). The inflatable ones are ok, but they don't seem to like to stay put (and they can be cold).

Got the store brand "Magellen" inflatable pillow from Academy Sports. What I like is that it is fat. Most are too skinny and flat to be worth the weight. Can always wrap it in a fleece jacket or clothes if I want. I sleep on my side and have to have a pillow.
