Cowboy Camping Setup

I'd add a cheap tarp just to have on standby and learn a couple ways to pitch it. They are made of the same material as a tent and pack down very small.

depends on the weather lol, but if its nice that could work

I would not use the emergency blanket. It will trap moisture and keep it in your sleeping bag. This will lower the temp rating of your bag. If you need something to add warmth I would use a silk or synthetic sleeping bag liner. It adds warmth but still breaths.

As mentioned I would also bring a tarp. Even if rain isn't in the forecast the dew in the morning could leave you soaked if you don't have a cover. Sleeping away from trees and tall grass can help with the morning moisture.

Sounds fine but I would recommend a small tarp in case the weather turns overnight

I only cowboy camp

Bring a tarp to cover with

So many times over the years waking up to snow or rain
