Me too.  Even then sometimes I have to trample the ground thoroughly to 
break all the sharp sticks,

compression sack, I stuff various pieces of clothing into the compression 
sack. Punch it a bit here and there for shaping, and that works well for me<

I bring a pillow case for the same purpose.  I carry a warm synthetic down 
jacket, which is very soft, and I stuff it in the pillow case.

You can ditch the stove and fuel, then pick up some food near your camp.  I 
find that eating bagels, nuts, fruit, turkey jerky, milk, etc. is more 
relaxing than having to cook and clean up.
