I’ve tried the normal style bivvy and they’re ok if you’re cold, tired and past the point of caring but any other time they’re shit. I don’t mind my one man Goretex tent which is only a glorified bivvy when all is said and done but at least you get a porch you can cook in.

Think I’ll knock the bivi idea on the head.

During my obsession of buying military equipment, I found myself bidding on a US military (unused) human remains bag.
The ex missus just thought it was another bivi bag.
Even I thought this might take a bit of explaining if things went bad, so pulled out of the race.

Like everything else, they have a time and place but outside those very narrow parameters they’re shit
