Hello shelter gurus!
I'm planning a NOBO with 15 Mar start date, and am trying to choose the right shelter to carry during those cold initial weeks, erring on the side of safety/dryness. I already have (or will) have access to these options, which I'd prefer to use to save money:
Already have: OR Advanced Bivy, OR Alpine Bivy
Will eventually buy: HS Tarptent (prob Scarp 2)--I plan to get one for later in the summer
I feared the Tarptent wouldn't be as warm/dry in an emergency situation, but is my logic flawed? What would you recommend? If it helps, I plan to sleep in a WM Versalite (10*) on a Prolite.
Thanks for your advice!
Jonathan
