To bivy or not to bivy

[Deli]

I tried a bivy and absolutely not for me.

I have a Six Moons Lunar Solo single pole complete shelter. If i was truely thinking carry on back mobile, I would take my six moons gatewood cape tarp and the nest. I can setup the tarp for any bad weather and set up with the nest for sleeping at night.

Both of these i can setup at close to 54" tall with long guy lines. They shed light snow pretty good.

I thought about the lunar solo since the price is decent. I did read some trouble pitching it but maybe that just comes down to practice? At 6 ft tall, would I have enough space?

Lots of ways to skin that cat. Some of the tents out there can be set up using poles and fly only. Big Agnes comes to mind. Having spent quite some time sleeping in bivy sacks I would be hesitant to recommend them if you move around a lot. You will be more comfortable in a good hammock than a bivy when it comes to that. I also don’t think a bivy is really all that valuable if your already using a tarp unless your worried about water running down hill and getting you and your sleeping bag wet. Just my 2cents but pick one or the other. Not both.
