BRAD said: I've been thinking for years about getting a 2-person bivy sack for seakayak trips to British Columbia. I'd be very interested in other's opinions or experiences. I'm not sure I'd like to be storm bound in a bivy sack for 3-4 days. I have a bivy sack that I realy like for cooler weather. It is way too warm in high summer. And it is basically a body bag with head room [I have a North Face Gore-tex one called the "soloist"], so spending a lot of time in it would be ugly. But perfect for wet, cool weather where space counts. Since one [at least I do] usually uses a tarp for wet places anyway, the room thing isn't so much a problem for changing clothers and lounging around. I once watched a great Northern Lights display while ensconsed in the bivy - it is a great memory.
