Thread: Lightweight camping for a solo hunter

NZ Army Hootchie (fly), with NZ Army bivvy bag made of 'milair' waterproof/breathable fabric. Used in all kinds of weather/season/terrain combinations without getting anything inside the bag wet. Sometimes needed to get creative with positioning, but don't discount the fly option.

Aussie counterparts were out of their depth in a downpour, and had no idea where or how to position their similar kit for maximum dryness. It's all about technique.

Its a dead easy thing to run. Turn up somewhere, bring very little. If you don't know how to do something, ask someone who looks like they do.

I would certainly like to see what knowledge I could gleam from some of the characters on here. Its one of those areas you think you know everything and then someone does something that seems so obvious and you go "shit, never thought of that".

(old thread, I just came across it) Interested to attend if something like this is being done...
