Ouch, when you said it was wrecked I wasn't expecting it to be so bad. So the shredding occurred as you tried to dismantle it on the last day, or did bad winds cause it to tear like that? Were you running a stove in there for the week? Good tips, especially about the sacrificial cord, I'll...

I was eyeing these up a few weeks ago, tempted for something to play with on canoe trips :)

Another consideration to think about with a hooped bivvy, you're likely to introduce a lot more condensation from your breath compared to a regular bivvy, you'll need a highly breathable fabric which is still completely waterproof, or water resistant if you're using a tarp. One or two bivvies...

1) Have you used a bivvy? If yes, what do you like about it? If no, why not? I use one regularly, they keep me dry and out of the weather 2) If you have a normal bivvy, why did you choose not to go for a hooped design? If you use a hooped bivvy, what do you love and hate about it? I have...

It's lovely and sunny in W Yorks today, a fresh wind but not a bad day at all. It's a shame we're doing family visits today instead of getting out, but Tromso on Thursday so life's not all bad :)

Sorry to hear that John I was hoping to join you for another session sometime :(
