OEX Bush Pro Salamanda Bivi Tent for 1 Person, Compact and Lightweight 1 Man Tent, Ideal for Backpacking, Wild Camping and Fishing, Camping Equipment, Grey, One Size

Product Information

I think a lot of it depends on your route, if you aren't going to remote places you can usually find guesthouses. I would recommend this or some other UL trekking pole tent (Durston X Mid gets good reviews, but there are many options). It’s also a great choice for wild campers, people bikepacking and fast packers who need a lightweight, easy-to-pitch shelter that doesn’t compromise on protection from the elements. The Lanshan 1 allows more traditional camping and isn't heavier or much more expensive than the Oex Salamanda. If the hostel is in an urban centre, it may not have a garden to air the bivvi or small tent outdoors.

I am also not clear on the legal restrictions to fastening a hammock to local trees in each of the nine-plus jurisdictions I will be travelling through, how strictly this is enforced, and what the penalties are. I plan to stay in hostels most of the way, however I want a backup bivvy bag which I can use if I whenever I don't complete a segment by nightfall. While pepper spray is effective against bears(in the USA the success rate is high) I'm not sure when you are trying to get some sleep how useful it would be.I would still choose a mid+inner over tarp+bivvy though, because I find enclosed bivvys claustrophobic and if they have mesh uppers mosquitoes will still annoy you anyway.

I used to think like Damascus above, but I’ve spent much of the last year out in an ex-army Dutch bivi bag that weighs more than either the Alpkit or Snugpak hooped bivis.

Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. With a 5000mm HH flysheet and a 7000mm HH groundsheet, the bivi bag offers excellent protection from rain and damp ground. Cooking in the vestibule is possible in dry weather with door tied back and sleeping with mesh zipped round was great overnight (no rain) plenty length ,rucksack went at feet with no problem ,I’m 5 ft 9. Set up for the first time in the dark on a stealth camp and recommended be a fine gent, the English Woodsman. Used in -5deg with windchill on top and blocked that completely, where my normal basha wouldn't have.
