Cover (Bags, Ponchos, Tarps & Tents)

Cover isn’t one item — it’s a system.
You need something to sleep under, something to sleep in, and something to sleep on. Miss any one of those and your body burns energy trying to compensate.
Cover is the primary way you regulate core temperature, manage exposure, and recover. It’s what allows sleep, decision-making, and movement the next day.
Everything else is harder when you’re cold, wet, or exhausted.
Get cover wrong, and the rest of the system starts to fail.
