> I've been thinking for years about getting a 2-person bivy sack > for seakayak trips to British Columbia. For what reason - for using it as a single tent? Unlike with a hammock, you'll still need a ground space for a bivy, then why not a tent? Sales clerk here in Vancouver Tayga shop (between MEC and 3 Vets stores) told me his personal opinion that bivy sacks are what is called *sucks* :-), because of condensation. People who used them in Baja, praised them highly because could use them in winds so strong that tent wasn't usable (I suspect, they just didn't have a proper tent or didn't know how to anchor it properly in the sand). They also complained that bivies flapped so loudly in the wind that they could barely sleep :-). No personal experience, sorry. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
