Bivi, do you?

In answer to nobeerinthefridge
I bivvyed a lot years ago. I got rid of the kit after a particularly unpleasant 3 weeks of constant wet.

I bought two bags to take to italy this year for a walking trip for the two of us but we didn’t end up using them at all. I thought we might want to sleep out but I didn’t want to carry full camping kit. I shall keep one for myself for the occasional trip and to carry for emergencies. The other I want to sell – cheap as a very cheap thing.

Bivvyings fine if you are near civilisation and / or the weather is good. get away from civilisation and get bad weather its miserable at best.

I reckon 2 dry nights is as much as I’d want, 1 wet one and I’m heading home

Duuur! Haven’t you read the book of the bivy?
No wonder it was unpleasant.

I do a lot of multiday trekking by bike and foot where going home if it rains is not an option.

for the time being those days are gone for me, however in about two years time they’ll start again 🙂

So any of you avid bivviers bivi with your hounds, if so do you use these Linky
been thinking about one for my hound for a while, he’s a big mutt so was thinking he could carry his own food and water and maybe some extra goodies for me, couple of cans of cider and a extra hip flask 8)

My mate used to have his dog carrying panniers when he went camping

Saw a dog with a set of panniers a couple of days ago in Northumberland. It was also sporting a nice set of dog trainers!

Bivi? I don’t do discomfort!

I used to bivi quite a lot about 15 years ago mostly in the Brecons (still have the same bivi bag ) then bought a cocoon hammock about 12 years ago and used that instead for a few good years much more comfy.
Just started getting back into it after a long lay off……can’t wait to do ..still get exited every time…. 😆

More of a bevvier than a bivvier, but would like to give it a try. Even riding 5 miles into the hills and back the next morning would be something different. I take it you just find somewhere out of the way in the hills and stick the tarp up?
