I'm hoping that this will allow me to regulate my warmth as well.Too warm, drop a layer, too cold, add a layer. As well, with the exception of the cocoon, I had all of the set-up already as a 3 season set-up, so no big credit card bills.
I agree with the fire for warmth. One of the reasons were going out is to practice building improvised shelters and practice different fire lays. A long fire does't require tending, throws a good amount heat, won't burn out of control, lasts as big and long as your logs are and reduces to a nice coal bed for cooking. most importantly, it does't throw sparks, so no holes in my kit!
Thanks for responding
