> what are folks favorites for overnight/multi-day trips? Where are you going? Mexico is just-a-tarp territory; in BC I like a tent, and a dining tarp. River kayaking, I was forced to use a bivy because of space. IMHO, bivies are best when it's real cold. I find that in most coastal temps, if I use one with a sleeping bag I always get a lot of condensation inside. I can get away with just clothes in a bivy with no sleeping bag on summer Pacific coast nights. Kinda more uncomfortable than a tent, though. And bivies aren't so hot if you've gotta deal with lots of bugs, particularly if it's warm. Can't beat a tent in that case. YMMV. -- Rob Gendreau Oakland, California rob-g_at_pacbell.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Nov 27 1999 - 12:18:12 PST
