Bivvy bags

[AndyB]

I hate normal air beds because I've yet to find one that doesn't go down a little bit each night and all they do is leave you on a raft of cold air. Closed cell mats are miles warmer or the best thing I've bought is an exped air bed because they've got down in them to insulate you and they don't go down over night.

Yeah hate them too but Ive tried those self inflate mats and the closed cell mats they're not very thick so the airbed is the next best thing .. :S

I do smile at all these references to 'ex-army bivvy bags'; all we had was a poncho and four bungee straps :whistle:

Me too. :laugh: :laugh:

I completely defer to your greater knowledge about things army. But mine is;

I do as Bernard does, and have my self inflating mattress & my sleeping bag inside the bivvie bag - I use an ex- Dutch army bag.

Toastie warm - used it in North Wales just last week in the snow :S
