Diy insulated fire retardant bivy bag

[Riverwalker]

Any issues with condensation or was the side open enough to disperse it.

well done!

Looks swell man -with the extra lining was the single pad enough -I believe it was freezing at night -yes?

Yeah, that pad is rated pretty high so it was more than enough. It got down to between 15 and 20 degrees I'd say.

Any issues with condensation or was the side open enough to disperse it.

No condensation problems but I sleep with my face out of the bag and I air the bag out every morning near the fire just in case. I can't say what kind of condensation problems you might have over long camp outs though, I've never used this set up for that.


Thanks, guys.

Very nice that is an ingenious solution to a very dangerous problem. One of my biggest fears is catching my sleeping bag on fire from popping wood.

Thanks Brother Iz for the Video.

Going to try this at the next Fatwoodsman meet. Thanks.

Wow just had a thought (might be a stupid one), but one of the problems with a clear piece of plastic for a super shelter is popping embers, I wonder if there is a clear tarp material that could be fire retardant coated the same way.
Great Idea Iz! Yet another multi-use for the BCUSA tarp.

Good stuff, Did you have enough wood for the long fire? Multi-use gear rocks.

I suspect if it was real cold, an emergency blanket with the reflective side towards the inside in place of the MEST, would be a bonus. The couple that I have are 5' x 7' and heavy enough to take the abuse. Good video IZ, thanks.

Somebody had plenty of wood they didn't use....I ran out.


Thanks, Scott.
