This will surely help lighten the load for those long treks into spike camp. I've never used a bivy sack, so this will be new. I've had a few 1 and 2 person tents for spike camp but for September I think this will be the ticket.
Has anyone used this or one like it? Just wondering. :dunno:

You get that off camofire. I have been looking at it just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let me know what you think of it.

Ya I got it off Camofire. I have yet to use it. But I'll post how it worked when I get a chance to put it to work.

Ace55-I use a synthetic material bag. I will have to watch for condensation. I hadn't thought of that.
B86- I like the idea of the tarp. I think I'll look into getting one.
Thanks Guys

I've also used a bivy. Still have a couple. As soon as I get up in the morning, turn it inside out to breath/dry while glassing/making breakfast. Without a vestibule to protect gear, I put my boots in my pack, and my pack in a garbage liner. Don't expect to weather a storm in a bivy, but they can add a nice layer of weather protection in a pinch. I've slept through some pretty good rain in the cheap tent below. It weighs just some 10oz more than my OR bivy and roughly the same as a USMC bivy.

:yeah: on weathering a storm in a bivy. Tried that one night and was ringing my sleeping bag out like a towel the next day. Looks like my tent is similar to yours. I weathered a hail/lightening storm on a ridge in Alpine Lakes a few years ago. Exciting :tup:
