Man Bivy
An army sleeping bag is sometimes used by sportsmen and hunters who are out in severe weather, in addition to regular army troops. These are very rugged, durable sleeping bags that have been designed to function in very cold weather. The first army sleeping bags were issued to mountain soldiers in the early 1940s. They needed to be light weight because the soldiers had to carry them with them. They also needed to be suitable for very cold conditions and the soldier had to have the ability to exit the sleeping bag quickly in case there was an emergency.
Although there have been improvements over the years, the same qualities that were needed in the 1940s are stilled needed today, which also make them a good choice for anyone who is looking for a durable sleeping bag that can perform in severe cold weather.
The current army issue is the Modular Sleeping Bag system which consists of two mummy shaped sleeping bags, the Intermediate Cold Weather and Patrol, a stuff sack and bivy cover. By combining the Intermediate and Patrol sleeping bags it can provide insulation for up to minus 30 degrees F. The Intermediate Cold Weather bag is placed inside the Patrol bag to provide more insulation. The bags are made of ripstop nylon and are water resistant. The sleeping bags also come with a double-pull reversible slider, allowing for bottom or top ventilation, and a draft flap which helps to prevent heat loss.
For the best results in cold weather, the sleeping bags can be placed on top of a sleeping mat made of polyfoam or tree boughs layered beneath the sleeping bag. This helps to prevent heat loss. The army sleeping bag is made to military specifications and is a very durable bag that hunters and sportsmen will be very happy in severe weather conditions.
You can find an army sleeping bag at many army surplus stores. They are one of the best sleeping bags for camping that you can get since they are designed for extreme conditions.
Where can I find a small tent/bivy that meets my needs?
I am looking at getting a small tent for camping since my friends have all decided that they prefer sleeping in their own 1 man tents. I found a military "bivy bag" in a catalog and thought that it was an interesting idea. It seems to me like you are supposed to dig a hole and then use your sleeping bag inside of the bivy bag in the hole and it keeps you nice and dry? Sorry, that was an awkward sentence but I don't know how else to say it. I also saw a "bivy tent" which was a small 1 man tent. Can somebody please explain how these work to me? Also, if somebody can link me to some good ones with a low profile, that would be great. Thanks!
Bivy's are essentially waterproof/breathable bags that you slip inside with your sleeping bag. Some of them have a little dome over your head so that the mosquito net doesn't lay on your nose. Others don't have that feature.
A bivy is an absolute minimalist piece of equipment for people that don't mind feeling critters climbing over them at night (mice and squirres do) and having no space to change in and out of clothes. They do keep you dry but provide no insulation (pad still required). They are the lightest shelter next to a tarp.
I just bought an REI Quarderdome T1 tent for $199 (similar to the MSR Hubba) and will try it out this weekend. Not super roomy but at least it's a real shelter (3.4lbs) where I can sit up in, read a book, sort through my stuff, and all without having mosquitos flying around me.
