I notice you took a bivi and the debate I've been having (with myself) is whether it would stand up to seriously wet weather. Have you tried your marmot bivi in real rain or only in sub-zero temps? <br /><br />I was thinking that a bothy+survival bag might be a better option in case I do need to sleep out. Of course I also need to verify how likely it is for me to sleep out rather than make it to each check point - emergency Vs planned nights out are a very different prospect. Would appreciate your thoughts on this. <br /><br />Chris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368996221609428781.post-86231326321018686122013-02-12T10:18:23.473+00:002013-02-12T10:18:23.473+00:00Hi Rich, great little article and I completely agr...Hi Rich, great little article and I completely agree with Peanut Butter sandwiches, though water may be required afterwards!<br /><br />I've noticed you have mentioned the OMM Smock, I have been looking at getting a OMM Kamleika Jacket like this <a href="http://www.aboveandbeyond.co.uk/.omm-kamleika-race-jacket-blue-various-sizes-_5060103821396.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.aboveandbeyond.co.uk/.omm-kamleika-race-jacket-blue-various-sizes-_5060103821396.htm</a>, but I am not sure if it is worth an extra £20+ just for a zip? Would you say your Smock works as a decent primary trail / fell running top?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841574879040701810noreply@blogger.com
