Hi

A mate and I recently spend 2 weeks in New Zealand and spent 4-5 days on the Hollyford Track. My first experience of NZ tramping. When I get organised I will put something together on the trip where we stayed in Department of Conservation (DOC) huts. Basic affairs with bunk beds, wood heater, table and chairs, and a bench/sink with tank water.

I am planning the next trip already and may go places where there are no huts. I have a good hiking tent however it weighs approx 2.5kg and this plus some form of mattress (eg. Thermarest) is going to push the weight up. I started investigating bivvy bags as a lighter option and I kept finding references to Tarptent.

This is their site. Lightweight shelters down to 0.5kg. Does anyone have any experience with these?
Make sure you check out their photo gallery - some great photos in there.

Rick
