[QUOTE="SugarCake, post: 2166017, member: 118339"] It might be more lightweight and technically advanced tarps or wind-sacks in the US, but I use one from Norwegian Helsport. It could be nice for you Americans to check it out: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.helsport.com/en/miscellaneous/fjellduk-pro-mt.-camo/[/URL] There are other competing brands too, like "Jervenduken" [URL]https://jerven.no/collections/jervenduken[/URL] The nice thing is that they can be used either as a poncho, sleeping bag cover (if you don't use down sacks - they get kind of moisty inside) or as a decent wind shelter. I think the US army uses similar but we had a similar version in the Swedish army (long range unit). We then placed our sleeping bag and pad inside it, then we just rolled it up and strapped it outside the very large backpack. And when we needed to do reconnaissance for a prolonged time or sleep - we just put the whole roll on the ground, rolled it out and then went into it. Can lay there dry in pouring rain and do some sniping for example. Then you can get out of it, roll it up within 30 seconds and run. Now I prefer to use a good lightweight tent. But it seems like many in this thread could appreciate this more hardcore sleeping style. [/QUOTE]
