ISO: Non-poly Frost Covers
Looking for suggestions for fabric covers that aren't made of polypropylene, as most of them seem to be. I use them to protect from frost as well as to protect from intense sunlight after spring transplants. I would like something that allows some light and moisture through.

Vaccines
Hey y’all,
Going to Southeast Asia starting in October for about 6 weeks. I’m wondering to people who have backpacked in this region , what vaccines did you get ? I’m pretty late to the game and underestimated this completely. I did want to do cool excursions but I don’t really have a set itinerary.
I did just get a tetanus shot. I tried to get typhoid but it was $200. My doctor was like that’s all you need but I had read I needed hepatitis a and b. Now I’m reading all about rabies and getting a little paranoid. I want to feel safe about my trip but I guess I’m just wondering what anyone more experienced than me thinks I should do. I guess this is all a luck of the draw kind of thing but yeah I don’t know how important each one is I am getting widely mixed reviews as I read online.

Multi-day vs multiple short hikes solo in New Zealand
I'm planning to head to New Zealand's South Island during November for my first solo trip for 12 days and trying to focus on some nature and hikes. I'm deciding whether I want to stick to short hikes as I go around the Island or include a multi-day hike.
The issue is that I've never done a multi-day hike before, but would definitely be keen to try, with much thorough research and planning beforehand of course. I know that New Zealand has amazing short day hikes, but I would also love to utilise this opportunity down there for their amazing multi day hikes too. I'm just not sure if I should stick to short hikes for now given my lack of experience + solo.
How was your experience with the short hikes in New Zealand? Or any multi-day hikes in particular you would recommend for a less experienced hiker? Any advice would be appreciated!
