he he! :rofl:

Actually you'd be surprised how small they pack up ;-) It's a little smaller than the swag actually !

In all seriousness though... I'll be attaching the basha to the bike, or some other handy tree / bush / house / barn / hotel / car / back up support vehicle :innocent:

I have used a swag for some years , ok it is with four wheel transport, love it ,
for all year use i have replaced the mattress with a thurmarest and it reduces the bulk a bit ,
thay tend to be a bit hot so try using a army jungle sleeping bag or a US poncho liner in it both very light and hard wearing .

As for the basha use a pair of basha poles , thay can roll up in the swag and are very light ,

If I can pull my head out my arse, I'm hoping to get going a bit sooner than that. Might be around Eastern Russia/Japan by then.

Twodogs - Thanks for the links - looking into that now - at the moment I'm just using standard collapsed alu' poles that slot into each other - they give good height - but as I discovered if you don't tie them down properly the wind will take them away - but to be fair we did have 70mph winds this weekend!

Teflon - that's a shame - good luck though dude and have a good time.
