What is the best place to get cheap bivy tents?
What do you consider cheap? A bivy tent, or bivy sack, is a small, one person tent. It is basically a sleeping bag with head room, that is best for long backpacking trips. Definitely, each hiker should get a good one if you will be hiking for more than a week. Generally, they cost about $200. They are very lightweight. If you are serious about backpacking, don’t go with what’s cheapest: go with what has the best quality. Get something that’s waterproof, extremely lightweight, and durable. I would check out campmor.com or sierradesigns.com. If your hiking trip will only be a few days, you don’t necessarily need a bivy sack. You could get a lightweight two-person backpacking tent, which would be much more spacious. Again, I would recommend going for quality over price. There are certain things that you shouldn’t skimp on. For outdoor sports, you really should get something that is very high quality. Unfortunately, in outdoor activities, the more expensive items are generally the best. Lo
