Bivy Sack Kit |
|
|
 A "Bivouac" sack, bivi, or bivy sack is a great
substitute for a tent where you're really want to cut down on weight, AND you don't mind the tighter quarters of a bivy sack. Think of this as a super-light personal shelter that protects you and your sleeping bag from snow, rain, wind and insects. The extra trapped layer of air also increases the warmth retention of your bag as well. (Wikipedia)
This pattern is a straightforward design, is simple and compact, and requires no poles or stakes to use. There's a Velcro sealed hood with a removable mosquito netting insert, a tie-loop to pull it away from your face, and plenty of room for protecting your boots, clothing and other gear. It's approximately 110" long and 36" wide at the top, tapering to 32" wide at the foot.
This is a very popular kit for making a 1-man bivy sack tent. Mountaineers, Search & Rescue groups, hunters or anyone who wants a very lightweight shelter have made this bivy sack pattern. The total weight comes in under 2 lbs and packs down into a very small space. It has a screened rain fly and extra room at the bottom to store gear. And its very easy to make. Lightweight waterproof breathable upper in colors, lightweight coated ripstop bottom in black. Kit includes Seam Sealer. Kit does not include thread. |
