Silex with stove jack + titanium stakes + 2 carbon poles + borah bivy = 2lb 11oz. I would put it all in the larger bag plus a sea to summit pillow and it would probably compress down to at least 3/4 of the large bag in the pic. I think the bivy is wide. It has the mesh face area. I think full mesh top might be better for breathability if using in a shelter and you don’t need the extra bag protection. Changing the main guy lines to something thinner, eliminating the stove jack, eliminating the small bag the bivy is in would probably bring it down to 2.5lb or less. Could use trekking poles vs carbon dedicated poles but not worth it to me.I'm curious what the trail weight and packing volume is for this?
I've considered doing a bivy/tarp set up and I'm trying to see the benefits of it.
My current set up is a Big Agnes UL3 and packed its 3 pounds. I use it solo and with a hunting partner. Enough room for two and packs are covered over night.
I wonder what I would gain (or lose) by going to a bivy/tarp set up.
