as above, but adds a British Army basha, 6 titanium tent stakes, imps net, SAS head over, socks, and poly-pro long underwear.

The basha is 6 x 8, bomb-proof, seam sealed, reinforced at the loops, and has 2 yards of para-cord attached to each loop. A great multi-use piece of kit. But heavy, weighing in at 2 lbs. I've looked into replacing it with a silicone impregnated tart, but the one's I've looked at don't seem very sturdy.

Winter gear would swap out the basha for the Preying Mantis, sleeping pad, and synthetic bag.

I usually consider appropriate clothing to be your first layer of shelter. Having the appropriate dry clothes in your kit can save you from a world of hurt!!

Has anyone had any experience with the Adventure medical bivys?
