Doesn't matter. What matters is how good your sleeping bag is.

And pad! Even with a proper bag without a proper pad you will be cold!

Nosalsi kā prusaks... You need good thermo clothing and good sleeping bag... 1cm thick yoga pad wont work. Uz kurieni iesi?

Sveiki, /out/isti, any good spots you would recommend or atleast your favorites so far?
>>
>>919128
Sveiks. Which part of LV interested?
>>
>>919141
Doesn't matter, really, there's three of us who usually go together, so transport isn't a problem
>>
>>919143
I know some places. Depends on what kind of experience looking for. From?
>>
>>919145
Quite literally anything, gotta try something new!
In Riga most of the time, however i reside in Jēkabpils - the place you gotta visit, there's an old airport about 10 kilometre's away from the town, it's beautiful in the summer, one step away
from the bushes.

>As long as you don't get Fast&Furious fanboys and their E36's swarming the place - in that case your night is fucked.

Where are you from?

Liepāja.
Usually fishing trips by the river.
My secret spot is 141km from Rīga to Liepāja on road a9. You can look it up on google map if you put in starting location riga with text.
Its a hike where you need to cross stream on a fallen tree, walk on hills and enjoy view from a hilltop on a mineral landslides on a shores from the river. I usually make a camp next to that place where is a small waterfall. Last time i as there in spring. Had my fiahing rod with me so while we were chilling and drinking tea i cought a pretty good chub. We managed to cook it perfectly on a grill made out of green branches. Definately my best out place where is plenty of wild edibles, trout and other fish too.

That poncho aint good for our climate... Its kinda small so dont get much cover from sides, windand rain will be a problem and the fucking mosquitos in summer will eat you alive. Im kinda lurking for a decent tent but the price range starts from around 150 for something that wont get humid as fuck inside.
>>
>>919209
And for mat i think you should go with regular inflatable. These self inflating are not as good for us... take a lot of space and get you like only few cm above the ground

Ive slept outside in ~-5 under a tarp.

have warm clothes, i had a n-3b parka, pants and legggings.
cut spruce with your axe and put under pad, 1.5cm pad is FINE.¨
Hang your tarp low, secure it well.
make fire to cook on and dry boots on, dont crawl in sack yet.
Once fire dies down and youre ready to sleep crawl in sack with your clothes on.

Like this you wont be cold even without a fire, and with a 3-season bag. I swear I wasnt cold once through the night.

Cold
