>>1207778>sleep in extra clothesYeah, I was wondering about that. Perhaps the -1C limit is the better choice, although the bivy does add a fair amount of insulation.
>Cheapo silnylonWise words, i'll definitely give this a go first. The gear hunger is maddening, I don't want a tarp that shreds in the wind or if you pitch it near a bush. That was a good read!
>groundsheetI thought of an idea - write something on each corner, then if the writing is mirrored, your groundsheet is dirty-side-up.
>sil/cuben bathtubAh, again it's those fucking slugs. I don't mind any of the other denizens of the forest, but if I'm going to camp under a cozy tree or by a river, or in a starry copse, that's slug central and I know one of the friendly buggers is going to make its way across my chest or face
>reflectixMy bad, that's a hardcore insulation material from america. I was thinking of the standard reflective windshield screens, they're pretty handy since they reflect a certain frequency of radiation, they're actually very effective - I've seen minimalist kits that only take a reflective windshield and no pad, good for beach sleeping too. Might help you push your 1/8th a little further.
>clothesThat core 13 was a great read. Since I plan to go into towns and cities on the voyage, it wouldn't hurt to be a little presentable and performance puffy jackets lose out to the versatile fleece, which I can source anywhere, wash easily and sew into a more flattering look. I'll explain if you email me, but my plan is to combine a long hike with museum and gallery visits for /ic/ purposes, so I'm trying to be a little more presentation conscientious than a rugged performance hiker, to get picked up while hitchhiking into towns more frequently.
