Alpkit Hunka Bivy - regular size, kelp, no frills (no hoop or whatnot)

Are you still looking? I've got a very low profile 1 person tent in storage somewhere. I'll try and dig it out over the weekend and measure/weigh it to see whether it could work with your bike packing setup. It's a fair few years old so would very happily to do a good price on it. More recently I've been using the Alpkit Hunka Bivy and found it pretty good with a full on arctic style sleeping bag - surprisingly effective (even down to 1C!)

How lightweight? I have an old MacPac 1-man tent I toured with 12 years ago and haven't used since.

Tried and failed to find the tent last weekend. Not too sure what happened to it. Sorry.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
