Considering buying a bivy sack. I normally use my MSR hubba bubba 2 person tent. It is very comfortable, has alot of gear storage and has been a very solid tent. It is fairly light.

I'm hunting an area this fall that is 3-4 miles from the truck and considering throwing my sleeping bag, pad, and a bit of food in the pack and spend 2-3 days in there instead of hiking in/out every day. My fall back is to go in a day early and set my tent up and hunt from there. But shaving a few lbs is never a bad idea.

I'm looking at the Outdoor Research Alpine bivy. Most reviews indicate it's bullet proof. What are you all using?


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
