why a bivvi

[bpool81]

whats the differants between a tent and a bivvi and do you thinks its ok to use a small tent insted of a bivvi.

[Rossthedon]

a bivvi makes it easier and quicker to get out of when your bite alarm goes! plus you can fit your chair inside, i dont know if a carp chair would fit in a small dome tent. but it has a high celing so me and my mate can fit our chairs inside!
i use a 4man dome tent when i overnight it for the pike but it has a high celing so me and my mate can fit our chairs inside!

its just that dome tent are 50 pound and a bivvi is 150 pound.

personaly if i were buying one id go for the bivvy as its perpose biult for fishing ie can fit a fold down bivvy bed in one and storage for your spare rods/tackle extra clothes ect,ect you dont want to be sleeping on your gear all night do you?

[Ryanbeno]

id go for the bivvy as ive fished places where tents are not allowed.

i bought a bivvy off ebay about a year back and it only cost me about £60inc P&P or there abouts, there was even a few good used ones, that would normally cost £100odd going for about £50-£60
there was a cheap one too, brand spanking £20 but you get what you pay for right? would maybee ideal for the summer mind.
check out ebay bpool, you might get a bargain on a good quality used bivvi or a cheap new one
happy hunting, let us know what you find

Makes sence as a friend of myn had a dome tent,when his alrams went off he tripped up comin out of the tent and knocked his rods over lol

i think we have all fell over trying to get out of the bivvy, i have even tried to get out of the back of my bivvy it took me about 30 seconds to realise what i was doing, when that alarm rips off in the middle of the night your sences are all over the place. In fact i am going to open a new thread just asking about funny incidents that have happened when your alarms have gone off.
