I've noticed that the jerven bag with the 60g prima loft does collect a lot of condensation between the layers, even with allowing plenty of ventilation. However it does maintain heat still very well when damp. I have a tarp over head and then attached to a ridgeline underneath the tarp I have my jerven bag set up like a bivouac.
As far as I can tell this a completely waterproof non-breathable material. That might be good for the military as a cheap and durable option for emergencies, but not the best to sleep in regularly because it traps all the condensed moisture from sweating. And especially sleeping in it for multiple nights without an opportunity to dry everything out the moisture would just accumulate. If you want something cheap (around 50 GBP) and robust military gear I would recommend the british army bivy that is made using gore tex, so it keeps you warmer and protects you from wind and rain but the moisture can still get out. And it's also possible to sleep with just the bivy and a poncho over your head as a pretty lightweight and versatile setup if you don't need a mosquito net.
Thanks again for the comprehensive comment. The Goretex bivi is a good suggestion, but it does not offer the same versatility as this.e.g walk and talk.
Great video! I like your channel. Can you remake a video or a test of the Simond Nakalu T2 in extreme conditions? I just love this affordable, alpine, and robust tent. Could you also test its setup? Thanks. (If you try it during winter or below freezing, it could be interesting to calculate the difference in temperature between the inside and outside and compare it to a more traditional tent).
Nice little Jerven camp! But one thing, If memory serves me right, the tent ends does not work with the Hunter, Thermo or Hunter mini, but only Original and Exclusive.

@@williamjones8295 swings and roundabouts! Thanks for adding your experiences.
Great video Dave and congratulations on the Sales Director role at Wild and Moor 😂
You're right. It is getting a bit like that, but I have all this cool stuff to show you!
Jervenduken is one of those products everyone loves but is talked about too little on youtube. Glad you're producing this content sir. @@Fellmandave1
Interesting and unique bit of kit that, looks ideal for stealth, was is what it was designed for I suppose. Thanks for demonstrating it, atb, Graham
Thanks for watching Graham, Norwegian hunters started it all going.

Possibly! I really like it, just find it a bit cramped.
Hi and very interesting perhaps a bivy replacement
Cheers
Definitely! You can just downgrade the bag you take.
Great investment

Thanks for the info, thats what I was told, but will of course check. The more I think about it, the only one to have is the exclusive.
Ends work with Jerven Bag Original, Thermo and King Size models according to their website.
Nice but thats almost £1k worth of shelter and bag
Probably should be acquired over time.
