LHD Stay Dry Bivy
This bivy was created with this in mind,
1- A way to sleep and stay dry regardless of conditions. 2- Very simple construction 3- Reasonable cost So a mummy style shape with no zipper, and drawcord closing top was chosen. Not having a zipper meant eliminating a major area that water could flow into the bivy and soaking everything. Also we realized many people when asleep move or roll around a lot you could wind up with an uncomfortable zipper underneath you. Top opening closure: The opening can be drawn shut creating a hood effect with a breathing hole. There is also a sleeve of no-see-um netting, which can also be drawn shut if forced to sleep out in buggy areas Winter: Great for use in snow caves, or trenches, or as an emergency shelter. In a tent the bivy keeps frost off the sleeping bag. Summer: Wet ground, no problem you can roll around because there is no zipper for leakage: I spent a night in a field during a driving rain storm, and stayed dry. The All Gore-Tex Stay Dry bivy was tested on a month long solo kayak trip in very rainy Glacier Bay National Monument in Alaska. The sleeping bag was kept in the bivy, and then rolled up and placed in a Log House Designs water resistance stuff bag. A Log House Designs tarp was used for an overhead shelter. |
