When using a bivy sac are you supposed to put your sleeping bag inside it? of just a mat?
I am thinking about using a bivy sac instead of carrying a tent on my overnight 14er trips. Any advice? never used one
I’ve used both. I like a tent for extended trips. The advantage of a tent is the size to store your backpack and gear, and hang out in if the weather is bad. Bivy sacs are lightweight, but you don’t have much room. I got stuck in the rain with a bivy sack. I stayed dry, but I had to wait for the rain to slow down to get out of my bivy, so my sleeping bag would stay dry. I think the best bet is to get a small one man tent like this: http://www.nationaloutdoors.net/bc/shop.php/P-22309/Black_Diamond_One_Shot_1-Person_3-Season_Tent.html and you’ll get the best of both worlds. There is nothing worse than a bad night’s sleep and wet gear. Sounds like a fun summer planned.
