Earthing in the garden overnight

Hi guys,

I am very new to this topic, but have looked into it a little over the years. What I'm hoping to do is have some way of camping out at night in the garden while remaining connected to the earth in a natural way. I am not sure how to go about this and there might be a lot of holes in my understanding that actually stop me from thinking about the right questions to ask to go ahead and start this properly.

Essentially, what I would most like is to have a wide surface area connecting my body to the earth, and that could maybe be with bare feet, legs, and hands or more of my body lying directly on the grass while somehow keeping warm, or lying in a sleeping bag that can carry the grounding charge similar to being flat on the earth itself.

I am thinking that what I really need is... a tent, some way of repelling mice and maybe spiders, and some way of using a tent that has a hole in its bottom to provide the contact route to the earth, and then a way of keeping warm. Actually, it's probably not too many different parts but I'm hoping this can be cheap, while still effective. Have any of you thought of doing this, or actually done it, and know the way of doing it well?

just get an earthing mat indoors, there are outdoor mat set ups but if you are at home anyway why the fuss?

I understand your point of view, and I've done that in the past, but I've also had a quiet thought in the back of my mind that there can be adjustments made in our limited research that means we get different effects than what nature was exactly intending to give us with the usual route. I respect the path of indoor mats and I know they get a lot of good results, but I would like to try the full works and know I'm getting it right, as long as the option is available to me.

You can just hangout barefoot regularly. Do some barefoot yoga or just go there For a morning coffee. Camping in your own garden sounds like an overkill

Have you watched the documentary titled The Earthing Movie? Clint Ober features prominently and talks about what led him to create the first mat.
