Hello all!
I've been a lurker for some time now, but only just created an account.
I wish to get the sleep system that will be best for SHTF(when the sh hits the fan), or as an emergency BUG OUT BACKPACKING system. Basically, this should be quick to setup and even quicker to take down. I should be able to jump out of it at a moment's notice... and most importantly it should be DURABLE for long years of incredibly hard use. I have put together a few options below, with only price and weight considered. If you have any other suggestions, or improvements, or could advise which one would be best for me, i would GREATLY appreciate it!
P.s. im in georgia, so summers get really hot and winters get really cold. im 5'11 220 lbs and weight is important to me, but not the end all be all.
