Hey guys - I appreciate all the great enthusiasm and wisdom this forum provides. Thanks for all the great posts.
I am planning a trip through South America and plan to hang for the vast majority of my trip. I will be moving through Patagonia (Southernmost portions of Chile and Argentina) in mid to late spring. The trip will end in Rio de Janeiro where it will be 100 degrees. As you can see I have a logistical nightmare trying to figure out a good TP and UP vs Pad sleeping system. I will be using a Blackbird Double layer (not ordered yet) and a tarp I plan on DIYing. Wind is more of an issue in Patagonia than the cold, so I plan on making my tarp with doors.
Here's something I wanna run by you guys: How does reflectix between the layers and a down sleeping bag sound? Or could you sleep on top of the reflectix which would be above the bottom layer of the down bag?
Thanks for helping a NOOB out, all this will be tested but I am just wondering if I can have a more compact system as lots and lots of hitchhiking will be involved. Also, if somebody thinks I just need to nut up and get both quilts and cinch it down with compression straps - well.. ok
I lived in Guatemala for 2 years right out of high school and I've been cooped up for the last 2 years obtaining my Paramedic license. Its time to go have an adventure.
Thanks for all the help, ya nutty hanging freaks
