permanent juan, I wish you the best of luck on your touring adventures, but if i may speak for some of us that have been touring and outdoor enthusiasts for several decades,

we are intrigued, to say the least, at some of your planning for your trip.

but, best of luck. waking up wet and clammy in the morning in a waterproof space blanket night after night, blech. if you get anything out of multiple threads on touring or ultralite backpacking, some things work for a reason, and there are reasons other things don't work as well.

having said that, best of luck. i hope you continue to gather wisdom from this site and others before you depart on your trip.

might i suggest a short, 1 week shakedown trip before your big one, to see how it all works for you? at least, a 3 or 4 nighter? (you could even report back to the forum)
