I know this has probably been asked here a million times. I have had a little read through the last few pages, I saw that the decathlon bags have had a decent enough recommendation, now I’m not looking to throw down a massive amount on the gear but under 300 would be nice.
My plan is for the classic bivvy setup, I’m going to make a silpoly tarp myself and probably use a tyvek ground sheet. But for the mat, bag and bivvy some recommendations from what you lot have used personally would be nice. This will mainly be a summer setup I want and I can layer up under the bag to save on gear weight.
Was looking at the Thermarest Spacecowboy 45 for a bag, maybe Alpkit Cloudbase for a mat and one of their more budget oriented bivvy bags. Would this be a good spend of my money?
