>>2363299>bivy is so heavy that you may as well just bring a double walled tent at that point imoYou don't have to say "imo". And for me at least, I don't care about weight, space is more important than weight.
>>2363310>they also infringe on the open nature of the tarp>by stuffing yourself in a bivy you're missing out imoA bivy sack doesn't take away from it anymore than a sleeping bag does. It's literally just a protective sack for your sleeping bag.
>interested in why you'd continue to use one.Because if I stop on the side of the road I can roll it out and sleep, it's that easy.
If I have some more time I can set up my tarp and have a nice little camp.
It's just about versatility. When I go out camping, I travel from prairies to forests, to mountains. It's nice to have different options. I was thinking of bringing a hammock along with my tarp and bivy. All 3.
