A week or so ago. My incredibly tall mate in @cake ’s old RAB, and me in a weird diagonally-zipped old old lightweight bivi bag.
Mine’s around 700g? -ish with a DIY bug net that velcro’s into the storm flap. Worked fine.
Definitely not a great sleep on the foam mat, but not as bad as assumed.
DIY tarps from thin ripstop, one each as a footprint and one over the top of us to limit dew.
Going out again tomorrow or the day after so need to be prepared for serious rainfall.
if you have a tarp, you don't need the bivvy! get yaself out that coffin
I know I know. It’s way too belts-n-braces.
Bivi’s for me, tarp’s for the kit and clothing. That’s my line I’m sticking to.
Try that shit in Scotland!
