Also, you do not need "just in case" bivvy gear. Some folks carry emergency foil survival blankets as they weigh "almost nothing" (LOL) and are very small.
I agree you don't need a tent unless planning to spend time outdoors.
But I don't agree about not taking sensible precautions. I screwed up ( totally my fault ) my first day out of SJPdP and ended up sleeping in emergency shelter at top of Col lepoeder in a 12hr storm. I absolutely needed my emergency blanket *and* sleeping bag. Because I was prepared, I could stick it out safely rather than resort to calling for help.
No need to take a hefty 1st aid kit, but I was very glad of those few grams on that night and all the others when I didn't use it. I would definitely do without a pair of socks or shirt or XYZ in order to take the emergency blanket next time.
Just my 2p.
Thanks Andreo.
Definitely interesting @ 238gm. Mine is more like 650gm!
I struggle with mummy shaped as I get bit claustrophobic. But 238gm is worth doing some therapy ;-) !
I don't know SOL - will have to research.
