any other suggestion for hoboing around in good weather with minimal setting up hassle and weight? other than pic relatedmust have mosquito net and be light (pic related is about 450 g/1000 lbs)
>>2867254Get a mesh tent and an overhead tarp instead. It'll be way more comfortable and dual-purpose.
>>2867254Just use a mosquito net then if its good weather. Why would you need more if you already dont want a full tent?
>1000 lbs tentIshiggydiggyI really like bivvy bags. I've used the woodland USGI one pretty extensively, and got to try out the Kelty Varicom(?) when that was in development. I like the Kelty better. It's way easier to use and set up than a tent, but lacks any comfiness. What ended up working best for me was bivvy for my sleeping bag, and then set up a poncho in a ranger diamond for my backpack/gear/whatever else. I still use the bivvy a lot, especially when kayak camping, just because I don't have the space/time/energy to set up a full tent. Bivvy bags also work well in situations where things are damp (inside buildings that leak, under trees, under a tarp) where you aren't getting rained on, but will get damp. Would definitely recommend a bug net, but if you're able, I'd recommend a bigger bug net, like the one from Coughlan's. I've found that if bugs are going to annoy me while sleeping, they'll also annoy me when awake, and I would like to have an area where there are no bugs period.>>2867257I always slept better in a tent than with a tarp (have used poncho shelters as well as an 8'x10' aquaquest tarp), and would rather have an enclosed space to sleep. Rain can still in at an angle

>>2867254idk why not get a tent they are quite incredible nowadays unless you just want to be some contrarian performative larper
>>2867261>8'x10' aquaquest tarpThat's a great tarp. Which weight did you get?You can peg the tarp right into the ground over a mesh tent, and hang your rainshell up on one end as a 'door'. That will give it much, but not total, protection. Anyways, I know what you mean about personal preference.
>>2867272I think it's the medium weight one. It seems more durable than the ponchos I mentioned. I like the idea of hanging a rainshell over one end to serve as a "door".The aquaquest is a great size for most things. It comfortably sleeps me and my gear, or me and one other person. It's also super useful for setting up a sun shade if you're going to be in one spot for a bit. The poncho can do all of these things, and doubles as a shell/pack cover, but it's also too small to do most things really well.picrel is a few different setups with the aquaquest. We expected rain on the one with the bivvy and didn't get any, and I woke up wet in the one without. Is that your setup? It looks really comfy. Also cool that you can sit up in it, unlike in a bivvy.
>>2867261any online shop link for those?
