At the end of August, I'm going to walk the Bibbulmun Track at least one way unsupported, and already have a TTTM hammock, tarp and poles, but have recently come across this bit of kit. It's not especially cheap, weighs about 1kg, seems as compact as such an item is likely to get, and may be a viable alternative, considering the following points;
'Free camping' (hammocks etc) is discouraged on the Track, I can't assume that there'll be space in the shelters that are spaced one day's walk apart, and what's left of my back precludes sleeping on the ground if at all possible. There's also our legions of Killer Beasties to consider. A search of the site revealed one thread on this subject in 2009, so it seemed reasonable to start another.
Sleeping kit will be Buffalo Special 6 shirt and HA salopettes, and the patrol bag and bivi from the US modular sleep system. Weather will be end winter/early spring.
Anyone tried one of these? Pros/cons etc?
