Hi D9,
I was thinking more about winter and arctic conditions.The rain is definitively not a case for a tent.
Personnaly I like my gore-tex bivvy bag.If the temperature drops below minus 10-15 C, i like to use an air matrix or foam, to stay warm.But the air matrix is bad because the noise is makes when you fold it.
How do you call the foam 'carpet' in your army??
Thank you
