Popular in America, its a Sub-24hr overnighter apparently. Perhaps a more apt description than "bivvy", as it allows for camping of all varieties and saves on time wasted in the "If you're in a tent you're cut off from nature, so it doesn't score as high on the hardcore scale" arguements.

Think I might start using it and be all yankee-fied ๐Ÿ˜€

Anyone hear it used before?

Would it not be S24O then?

I'm sure it should, but everywhere I saw it yesterday had it as S240.

Yes...sort of...but when does a bivvy become camping? I've seen arguements on here about being in a tent can't be described as bivvying. S24O just seems to sum it up neater.
