Thread: What size fly?

I use a siltarp 3 which might seem large but when it’s pissing down rain Fiordland style you appreciate the extra space.

I use to have a Huntech fly and there solid but also bulky hence why I went siltarp.

Fly camping Kaimanawas I also use to use a blue coloured tent fly you can buy from warehouse for $20 and that worked fine.

Another good option is Huntech bivvies as at least one end is sealed off from wind/rain.

Spent an amazing night on Fiordland tops with my son (13 yrs) in one with lightning, strong winds, heavy rain where we camped in a slight dip and that little tent held up perfectly and kept us dry... a crazy night!
