One of these. And I think I am going to order another at this price. I have used it loads and its been a cracking bit of kit. Thanks for asking I wouldn't have known they come right down in price.

No connection to seller.
No worries, I forgot to mention it does come with their logo on one side, but it could be easily blacked out. I didnt bother though, if I go for a stealth camp I take a dpm basha. I just ordered another.
True with whats been said you dont need both But with the space and lightness both are reassuring.
Served in forces before bivi bags and then when issued we occasionally used them on there own. Just have to enjoy one or both.
Still prefer the issue bivi bag and actually the basha issued is good too.

I only use two ponchos, one for a ground sheet and one for a tarp, they weigh next to nothing and serve my purposes adequately. Mind you, I do not go wild camping in extreme conditions/terrains, like mountain ridges and snow fields etc.
I use a bivvy and tarp year round - RAB bivi and Kathmandu 8' x 8' tarp. Held up by trees if I'm in the woods or by poles if I'm in the mountains. What I really like about the set up is that it's better for multi day trips than my tiny tent as the tent can be full of condensation in the mornings and is impossible to pack away dry if you have an early start. If there's condensation on the tarp I just tie it to the outside of the rucksack or let it dry when I stop for a brew.
