    Tent vs Bivvy

    Tents have come to such an extent now that bivy is almost irrelevant I'd say. With these 1-2 pound full cover tents it's hard to justify a bivy anymore unless you are a mountaineer who knees to bivouac on a narrow mtn ledge somewhere. If you have the luxury of getting and keeping both by all...

    Tent with a view - something you can leave open in the rain

    I believe the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV series has that awning feature as well. Tbh, from everyone i've met who has that tent no one actually uses that feature. Great in theory, a hassle to set up and take it down
