[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1222445, member: 27619"] Very nicely put together, pants. One of the features of camping in the southern states is the heat and humidity. Maximum ventilation while being protected from insects is the order of the day. There are a number of insect-proof bivvies well worth a look. If you combine one of those with a full coverage rain-fly it's all the protection you will need. In northern states tents are a better option. I have a specific need that might resonate with some. I often find myself stopping for three or four hours, and needing sleep. It's not worth a motel room and I would rather spend the money on gas. So I need something protective, that I can set up in minutes, and is good on any surface. The surface is usually concrete :D So I bought a US Military Sleep System, and a Thermarest Pad. I can deploy it and be comfy in under 10 minutes. I usually need only the outer shell and the thinner of the sleeping bags and the whole lot fits easily in one of the sidecases with room for other stuff. [/QUOTE]
