Product Information

In the hiking community, everyone is expected to follow voluntary leave-no-trace (LNT) practices. However, if even 1% of 10,000 visitors per season on a 20 mile trail don’t know or don’t care about LNT practices and leave garbage or human excrement along the trail, that’s 100 incidents of the environment being trashed each year. Camping on deep snow is a low-impact way to experience popular hiking destinations. This is the Snugpak Ionosphere, and I thought it would be fun to try it out in a nice exposed spot and see what it’s made of. First you notice that it pitches inner first, which wasn’t an issue for this camp as it wasn’t raining when I pitched the tent. But pitching an inner first tent in rain is always a bit dodgy as the inner can fill up with water Outdoor Research should need no introduction. A fantastic company based in Seattle on the West Coast of the USA, they have continuously been at the height of innovation and quality since their inception in the early 1980s. Downsides are the same as for any bivvy of this kind. If it’s raining you can find yourself having to get into it when you otherwise wouldn’t with a small tent. Using a tarp can overcome that problem, and we would certainly recommend that if you think there will be trees to set it up. Alternatively bring along some poles for the tarp. Our range of bivvy bags will keep you protected when you're spending a night out under the stars, whether it's a planned excursion or an enforced shelter. A lightweight bivvi is perfect camping under a protective camping tarp when you're out in the woods or the mountains.

We are massive fans of Snugpak gear – they are leaders in well thought-out, rugged outdoor gear. The Snugpak Ionosphere bivy tent is no exception and straddles the line between bivvy bag and compact 1-person tent really well. There’s no wonder it’s often used by the US military – not bad for a company from Yorkshire in the UK! The hood when zipped up also includes an integrated waterproof mesh screen to keep bugs off – this also allows you to view your surroundings as you rest.Double Doodie can hold quite the load–2L (remember that includes liquid and solid). Each bag weighs 340 g, which is many times the weight of other bags we considered. Considering that 340 g holds the gel and includes the weight of a gallon plastic bag, that's fairly lightweight (for reference, the Green Elephant bag, also designed for toilets, does not include gel). Trailspace's community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top waste and sanitation supplies and devices. All First Aid and Hygiene The tent was easy to set up and I soon had all my gear inside, and my happy helper Frank to assist. Snugpak call this a one-person shelter, which will take 2 in an emergency. As you can see, it takes 2 people, but it’s a bit romantic. You’ll never get 2 mats in it, but it could provide shelter for 2 in a life-threatening situation

If you’ve ever seen news photos or videos from an emergency event, you may have seen paramedics wrapping victims in what looks like a thin blanket of aluminium foil. These foil blankets help victims to regulate their body temperature while they receive medical attention, but how exactly do they work? I pitched the tent in heavy rain, not taking enough care to keep the inner covered with the fly, so the tent inner filled with water! I was able to soak it all up with my towel but soon realised that I'd pitched too close to the lake and was worried about the water level rising in the night. So, I unpegged the tent and dragged it further up away from the lake and then had a real battle to get it erected again in the gale force winds. This time seriously tested my patience. It was a constant struggle of the wind trying to blow the tent away, pegs flying out and poles falling down. But if you’re racing, then pace tends to take precedence. In a short race (only one or two nights), it’s easier to rough it and sacrifice a good night's sleep in favour of better running performance. But for long, expedition style races or Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempts, the situation is more complex, with the aim of the game being to maximise performance over a prolonged period and changing circumstances. In this situation, you'll need to consider the following: will you be able to cope with prolonged sleep deprivation? Will you be able to dry out your kit? What is the terrain on the course ? What is the climate and season? Like other bags we tested, Restop 2 has a triple barrier bag design with an outer bag made of odor-proof mylar. The Restop 2 Wilderness Waste Containment pouch uses a polymer/enzyme blend to gel liquid and waste to prevent spillage. The enzyme also helps with odor.

The tent didn't budge at all and felt like a perfect lil safe haven - exactly what I wanted for winter in the mountains :) The made-in-USA CleanWaste Go Anywhere kit contains one waste bag, “Poo Powder” gelling/deodorizing agent, a puncture-resistant, zip-close storage bag, toilet paper, and a hand wipe. Each kit measures 8.5 x 5.25 x 1″ and weighs 68 grams (2.4oz) This made it into our Outdoor 100 for 2022, with our Test Team all impressed by its superb fabric and lightweight qualities. This thing’s made from Pertex’s impressive Diamond Fuse fabric, a 2.5-layer ripstop nylon with specially shaped yarns that are intricately woven together to create a robust, abrasion resistant and highly durable fabric – one that’s both waterproof and highly breathable too. Emergency shelter: Foil blankets are waterproof and can protect from rain or light snow if fashioned into a tent or tarp.
