Contour Bivy

First shelter I carry for survival. I purchased my first Slumberjack Contour bivy in 2010 on the advice of my son. I carried it on a motorcycle trip that started in Death Valley where I survived a 50-mile-an-hour sandstorm. Later on that same trip while in Zion during flash floods it saved me from torrential rains. While in Bryce during a snowfall of two feet it kept me warm, maybe up to 10° difference, while my three-season tent protected me from the snow. I'm sorry it only lasted eight years. Full review

Good tent for backpacking trips. Stores relatively small and lightweight. I used this tent for a backpacking trip in the Tetons. The tent worked well and kept me dry the entire time. Even through a large thunderstorm, the tent withstood hail and rain along with heavy winds with no issue at all. The tent had plenty of room for me and my 70L pack. The tent is easy to pitch and easy to pack up. The only downside was the bag ripped after our trip. However the company sent me a new bag within a few days. Full review

OK winter outer bag, as long as you know how to sleep and survive in cold weather. Too big for a standalone bag for me. I used this bag last winter in northern MN while leading dogsledding/skiing trips as an outer bag combined with an old 15 or 20 degree down inner (probably actually 20-25° now) and spent around 40 nights out in it, in temps ranging from -25°F to 30°F. Slept on two Therm-a-Rest RidgeRests under open tarps, in a mid, or in a doglsed. As others have noted, probably not wise to… Full review

Trail Tent 3

Great for car camping, probably light enough if you really want to hike with it and only want one shelter for three people. Setup is easy. The tent comes with guy lines and extra loops for securing the rain fly if you want more stability in the wind. The tent held up just fine the high 30s near a river with little to no condensation because the tent body has great ventilation. Lots of room for three people plus gear if all three people are less than 6 feet. The tent comes with storage pockets per… Full review

Big, wide, roomy yet retains heat very well. Very warm and toasty. Did I mention big? I ordered this and went camping with my two dogs. I have been camping before and so has my one dog. But not for a few years. I ordered in a number of things for camping after quite a bit of burrowing through research, comments, reviews, recommendations and personal comments before deciding I wanted to go with a rectangular bag because of the way I sleep and knowing I would use it for primitive car camping (with… Full review
