Hey everyone, this is my first time on this forum, I'd appreciate any advice.
I've been traveling around Asia on a motorbike for 6 months now. I haven't payed to sleep once yet, just been squatting old buildings, Couch Surfing, roughing it and camping.. until now.
I lost my tent. It fell off my motorcycle.
RIP Eureka
I need a new shelter situation so I'm curious what you suggest. I consider myself a minimalist, I only carry 40 liters including tent and sleeping bag. Until now, my tent was the biggest thing I carried. I'm looking for something compact but versatile.
Sometime's I'm desperate for a place to camp so I'll camp sideways on a mountain, on rocks, in sand, on cement, in giant bushy grass etc... so I'd really need something free-standing or close to it.
Netting is important, sometimes I'd even set the tent up in an abandoned building to fend off the mosquito attack.
I was considering a bivvy sack, but when I'm squatting or roughing it, there's no room for my backpack so it could get stolen.
Weight isn't an issue, packsize is. I'd like to save as much room in my bag as I can.
Also I'm looking for a compact synthetic sleeping bag. Currently I use this REI Travel Sack, it's great but I'm looking for something smaller.
