>>2286293Not trying to be an asshole but you would have been completely fucked if it rained.
You would also be fucked if it snowed as the snow would go inside your blanket, melt and pool below your ass. The tarp would have flown away too if there was any wind as its just one big sail while not tensioned.
> pic semi related - rain in the evening, flash freeze to -10c at night. Wet tree straps freeze to solid ice, pic taken while packing in the morning.Imagine if you had two days of hiking ahead and got that weather that night.
That being said did similar stuff in the beginning too so guess everybody needs to learn it the hard way, did you improve your setup over the years?

Again, physics, warmer air rises, blanket vents body heat through sides and folds. A mummy bag that fits your height is the smallest and lightest air tight enclosure for your body. You heat it up fastest and you stay warm through the night. If i had your underquilts id probably attempt -18c trips again. Invest in a sleeping bag.
