So I'm a total n00b and I'm planning to go hitchhiking across southern Europe this June. I have never camped sadly, and don't own a sleeping bag. How hard will it be for me to just sleep in bushes/under bridges; considering that it'll probably be in places with a decent climate (not going to get into the mountains)?

you underestimate how cold you will be

I'd recommend going on a few short camps before hand, gradually building up into longer ones. Even if its just a campsite in your hometown or your local woods. You don't want to commit to a trip of that size without some experience under your belt. By doing that, you'll know answers to that sort of thing from your own experience which is far more valuable than anything any of us /out/ists can tell you.

I'm going to be mostly in seaside locations I think, but I'll definitely at least bring a warm blanket. Should I bring anything else?

>>1012873
Of course first hand experience is going to be better than any advice, I was just asking if this seems like something doable to more experiences people; also I'd be very interested in knowing if anyone here's done anything similar

it's truly awful, awful.

if it rains you get soaked, even if the bag is waterproof getting in an out of it
no way to protect your things
no protection from bugs, dogs, miscreants
can't control humidity at all, if it's warm you will overheat, or suffer windchill if you open it

tuberculosis might be an issue as well

definitely not a good idea for a noob
even drug addled/schitso homeless people avoid it

It can get pretty cold at night even in the summer, especially up in higher altitudes if you end up setting up camp on a mountain m

A sleeping bag is worth it, unless you want to bring a lot of layers of clothes. Sleeping bag is lighter than that alternative.

he can juat rub dirt all over himself say hes from syria and get a place to stay a meal and maybe even a a nice peice of local ass.

But thats a double edged sword as you will probably get robbed and murdered if you step into muslim controlled areas.

You should probably try going outside tonight and sleeping without a sleeping bag. That is how cold it could possible get at night. Never disrespect or underestimate nature my man, or you'll be a miserable cunt for a night.

anybody that has ever slept in a hammock without a UQ / pad

If you're tired enough you can sleep anywhere bro.

It's really not hard to do, but some people would disagree. Are you a cupcake?

There are decent sleeping bags under 30€.
Trust me I was wild camping in southern Europe pretty often and the worst nights were without a sleeping bag.
It´s not only the cold, but the masses of bugs and little critters on the bug a sleeping bag protects you from.
