Gear - Bivy Sack

Kevin Callan - The Happy Camper - shows how to set up a bivy sack and displays reasons you'd want to use one. A bivouac sack (also known as a bivy sack, bivvy bag, bivi bag or just bivy) is an extremely small, lightweight, waterproof shelter, and an alternative to traditional tent systems. It is used by climbers, mountaineers, hikers, ultralight backpackers, soldiers and minimalist campers.

We suggest the following sleeping gear:

  • Tent or bivy sack
  • Therm-a-rest mattress
  • Down sleeping bag
  • Camp pillow
