>>865938Surf here, but ignore the tinfoilhat stuff:
http://urbansurvivalsite.com/ebooks/>>865941I agreed to that here:
>>865648It's the "I went out once and it was cold, so what you say is dangerous."-mentality that gets my feathers ruffled.
This is not a pic for discussing special circumstance-risks in the mountains or the arctic tundra. I can not please your desire to tell noobs that going out is dangerous in my pic.
> From what I've seen using a tarp straight up is usually reserved for bushcraft, ultralight, and experienced outdoorsmen because you're a bit more exposed.Then you have to look harder. People used tarps before bushcraft or ultralight was a thing. It protects against rain. It has so for decades. Now it's reserved for special interest groups only? Fuck that!
But again, yeah, there is something to be said for cheap tents. I probably will recommend a Coleman Crestline 2, because it appears to be widely available in the US and Europe, cheap and not the worst. Have ordered one at
amazon.de for 40 Eurobucks, should be here next week.
>>865950Seems you need a tarp then. Make sure you bring a sleeping bag and a foam mat, or you will freeze your butt off in your hammock over night.
There is no need for special clothes really, bring the usual stuff that is appropriate for your weather and maybe an extra fleece for insulation when you chill out. If you want to buy stuff, the pic says something about clothes.
As for your backpack, if it's not falling apart it will do. Rig your gear to the outside if you have to.
