Ok so I'm trying to narrow down a new lightweight sleep system for spring and early fall. I live in BC but would only plan on using this for more moderate conditions. I am looking to buy the Seek Outside DST tarp to carry in my pack as a glassing/rain tarp already and am wondering if it makes sense to get a small Bivy which would then allow me to use it as more of a sleep shelter as well. I'd want a bivy more for tick and ground sheet protection so it could be primarily mesh but would be nice to have a small bathtub floor. Not sure if its worth getting one that hangs high and has a larger door like a nest or more mummy style.
I've looked at Borah gear, MLD, Outdoor Reseach, Sea to Summit and a few others but don't really know anything about set up or how a small bivy would pair with a tarp. I'm not sure about how you would integrate them or if they would be independent and have separate guy lines etc. I was even wondering if the LBO Nest from Seek Outside would somehow pair by attaching to the inside trekking pole on the DST when its set up in a diamond configuration.
Anyways let me know if I am off base with this thought and I'll go back to researching lightweight tents such as the Eolus, BA Copper Spur and SMD Deschutes bundle and just carry a small tarp separate for a glassing shelter.
Any pics that someone might have showing a bivy under their tarp setup would be awesome and appreciated. For reference I'm 6'2" and about 210lbs.
Thanks
