  1.  @grievouserror  yes. I remember getting soaked in the 70s but not getting cold in the woolen Jersey. Not very comfortable but who cares if it stops you getting hypothermia in a mountain hike. I would imagine the vikings knew this centuries ago when they used to migrate in the North seas

  4. I remember camping in south Africa where it rained for a week. The water ran underneath the tent. Fortunately I had painted the whole thing with parrafin wax. I was safe and dry. But it was a heavy bugger to carry. But I have made it to 64 and now use 2 tarps. One on the floor like a paddling pool..... In reverse. The other like a roof. 6 inch gap all around. This gives the breathable aspect to dry out underneath as you get wetted from the humidity. Plus I can use my charcoal grill to dry the wet stuff. I have made a simple chimney starter type grill. Totally efficient way to use charcoal. Which is not too heavy for carry. I pick it up on 3 stones for max heat and flat on the ground for simmering.

  5. I just use the cheapest big sleeping bag with a good quality feather duvet inside on the top of my body. Cheapest possible option to keep warm

  7. This is why I use a poncho. You could use a method of roof tiles so that your sweat can be expelled
