Used the winter months for scouring eBay for a used Tarptent and found a cheap Tarptent Rainshadow 2. With 1.45 Kg it's crazy light considering it sleeps up to 3 persons. As it has no inner tent, it needs to be well ventilated. Meaning, if it's cold outside, it's cold inside. Now, my mistake was to test my new precious in early spring when it only had 10° C.
My girlfriend nearly froze to death that night, even with 4 pairs of socks and her clothes on.
Guess I have to look for another warmer tent for spring and autumn now...
That would be the logical step, but she can't be convinced that her 25-year-old sleeping bag might be at fault. I was sleeping quite snugly in mine. As I said, it's my fault. I should have seen it coming. Now it is the "tent of the devil straight out of frozen hell"
