I've been playing with a Basha. I set off with the idea that I'd turn the sidecar into a platform and sleep on that, nicely off the deck with a bivvy bag and basha as required. The platform idea doesn't work for various reasons (where to put the gear that was on it, head down a slope etc.) while the bivvy, bag, poles, para-cord and basha together are as big and heavy as my tent but take longer to put up/take down. I'm sticking with it as I like the idea of having as little between me and the sky as possible in summer, but I won't be rushing to leave the Khyam at home in typical UK weather.
