How to utilize a Basha ? Experiences ? Practicality on the road ?
I really like the idea of travelling with a basha for campsite shelter.
Me and a mate are travelling UK-Capetown and plan to camp as much as possible to keep costs down.
I have a cheap dome tent and a small backpacking tent (not very waterproof) already and was looking to replace them with a £200 North face Tadpole 23 tent.
Well, Instead of spending all that money I am considering buying a large £30 Basha that we both could use to hide from the rain or the intense sun.
The idea is to take my tiny backpacker tent, my gortex bivvy bag and use the baasha to keep my tent out of the rain and to use as a sun shade in drier times.
I think a basha, bivvy and small tent will give me a huge range of posibilities ???
Has anyone done this ??? I'd really appreciate input.
We are travelling on DRZ400's so don't have a lot of luggage space.
Also, has anyone got links to a good site or pictures of different ways to work with a basha ????
I'd got some basha poles and borrowed a large basha to play with.
Thanks, Ted
