If you're running a tarp, a bivy is redundant.

If you're running a tarp, a bivy is redundant. There are no bugs up high in September and certainly not October.Why pack the extra weight?Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

Just depends on the weather/temperature that year. I would agree with the October statement though.A lightweight bivy could save you if you are running a tarp/floorless shelter and run into bugs. It also adds warmth to your sleep system, so it wouldn't be just "extra weight".

Just curious to see what bivy s guys are using. I’d like to get one but really don’t know what to get. I was thinking either the or helium or the enlightened equipment one I think it’s called the recon? I am planning on using it mainly for sept elk and maybe use it into oct. thinking mainly as a way to protect from bugs since I’ll be ordering a mega tarp later to use as a shelter. Does this sound like the right way to go or should I re think my set up?
