Hello, we are taking a plane to go participate in an expedition trip in another state a couple of domestic flights away. We need to bring a sleeping bag and sleep pad and the organizer wants everything to fit in a carry on and a back pack (that fit under seat). We only have a roll up foam sleep pad. Are airlines generally OK with having a rolled up sleeping pad tied on to outside of the carry on or that being carried on separately in to the cabin in addition to the carry on luggage and an under-the-seat bag? What have you done when you flew with this kind of camping gear? I'm not sure if we can afford air sleep pads (I notice they are pretty expensive) and it seems like a lot of work to inflate and deflate it every day (we will be packing up and moving every day). Thank you!

here's one for $25. Others are $35.
I don't think you could get your carryon into the bin with anything attached to the top
