I want to plan my first backpacking trip but I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollareedoos for the ultralight supermax auto-coom sleep system with an affiliate link because I'm poor. I thought of doing a tarp and hammock set up but I want something with maximum versatility that I only have to buy once.
>>2863652Depends on what you expect to encounter. The most minimal sleep system would be a mylar blanket and a foam pad from Walmart, if you can call that "sleeping". Do you expect to sleep on snowy surfaces, in cold temperatures, in hot temperatures, in the high desert, on the coast, in the bayou?
just close your eyes and sleep. faggot.
>>2863652Warm weather will be cheapest. Dogshit 40° bag + dogshit Amazon special sleeping pad + cheap rain fly you can make an A-frame with will be your best bet
>>2863667Right now mainly just summer, I'm looking on ebay I think I'm gonna try to cop some used surplus bivy and air matress, maybe try to find a used rain poncho which doubles as a tarp and call it a day.
>>2863652>PVC "insulated" poncho as moisture barrier (reflective side up)>foam sleeping pad>sleeping bag or wool blanket on topIts this simple. If youre in a particularly wet area:>hammock>sleeping bag or blanket For shelter>tarp (camoflauge of course)>paracordIs the simplest
>>2863688Tarp, foam cell pad, air mattress, sleeping bag/bivy/blanket would probably be enough.
