[pct-l] Bivy

[Robert W. Freed]

My ultra lite bivy has become one of my ten essentials. Something I put
into the fanny pack for peak runs. Mostly I used a tarp for shelter but
using the bivy as a backup takes out all of the worries of setting up in
horizontal rain or mud or 50 mph winds. The bivy has many issues.
Small, restrictive, condensation build up. But when the sh#t hits the fan
I know I have a way to make it through the night. All else fails fill it full
of pine needles or leaves and dig in.
