Either that or just save up for one of those montbell ones if I can afford/ justify it or the smallest packing snugpak one could be good too.

I had a first night out under my tarp up Kumeti road last night and really enjoyed sleeping under the tarp I slept like a log. It wasn't raining but was windy as fak. Took off in the afternoon after uni and got to my planned campsite just before dark and then had to leave first thing in the morning to get back to uni for the afternoon so the gun was only really carried to make me feel manly.

Off up Matamata for a couply weeks from Sunday for some uni shit so might try get out for a walk in the Kaimais... I hear it's filthy with supplejack up there

Some of it, some nice bush and clearing also. Generally speaking the thick shit is on the north side of the faces, when navigating if you stick to the southern edge of ridges etc it usually makes the going a bit easier. We've found the deer seem to shelter in shallow, sheltered punga guts/dry creek beds this time of year. So when you come across one have a good peak around it
