On the topic of jeans, I've been wearing denim trousers & cotton shirts for the last 30 + years & never had a problem with them, but then I do wear waterproofs if it's raining & gaiters if the vegetation is long & wet. I don't wear clothes in a sleeping bag so no worries about getting chilled with damp clothing. I don't doubt that wearing heavy cotton clothing in the hills may lead to hyperthermia should the wearer get wet but it's more a problem of walkers being unprepared for weather changes when setting out, Common sense has more bearing on the matter than the type of fabric your trousers are made from.

i use a cheap fiver foam mat for sitting on outside the tent, lay out food prep for dinner, knerling in the canoe, lying on in the sun, putting at the entrance to the tent. But, use a long 18kwid decathlon thermarest copy to sleep on. if im light camping i use a 3/4 length thermarest. it's quite short so needs feet on something.
Camping definitely sucks, so why am I off to Wales next week to stay on a camp site that has been wet and boggy every time I have been there, and to be taking my smallest, meanest tent and all? Somebody please save me from myself
