I have roughed it in self-made shelters (in the summer and the winter, no less) and under the open sky with only a ground cover. Just havent done so with a poncho type equipment.
I intend to 'sleep rough' several times while walking my camino. Can anyone provide a recomendation for a rain ponco which can be used to construct a shelter?
I am a large guy (6ft 4/280) so any poncho I use will need be a large one.
Thanks
Chris
Thanks everyone for the input. I shall leave it at home with the rest of the campin gear and purchase an Opinel while in Frane or Spain. Monkey's gotta have his tools.
I like to carry a rather largish utility knife (6 inch, heavy blade) while hiking and camping. It has come in handy and helpful, not just for me. It is small enough to cut cheese and bread, but large enough the hack through saplings, fire tinder, etc. What are the legalities of knives in Spain...
