Biffy Bag Pocket Size Disposable Toilet, Classic

Product Information

The Helium bivvy itself uses a flexible fibre glass pole to form a hoop shape above your head with a zippable hood which can be pulled down over the hoop to fully zip up the enclosure if required. In good weather, the hood can be withdrawn and toggled up on the hoop, leaving a net mesh to keep bugs out.

How much heat it holds in - in my experience it is 4-5 °C warmer inside the tent than outside, and that's with a ventilation panel open too. This makes a huge difference in cold conditionsThose managing National Parks and Public Lands are unable to protect the land and for this reason they promote LNT education to encourage people to be better voluntary stewards of the outdoors. Education and awareness are thought to be the best methods, partly because regulations can’t be enforced and people resent rules and often retaliate making the rules counter productive. With the standard leave-no-trace guidelines failing, it is worth considering how we can do better. Here are some LNT 2.0 suggestions: This tent came with me on my recent Rhinogs trip (video of this trip is next on the editing pile) and it was just perfect 👌 This thing’s made from Pertex’s impressive Diamond Fuse fabric, a 2.5-layer ripstop nylon with specially shaped yarns that are intricately woven together to create a robust, abrasion resistant and highly durable fabric – one that’s both waterproof and highly breathable too.

A bivvy bag (also called bivi bag) can be described as a tent-like bag. It is basically just a waterproof bag that you and your sleeping bag would slot into. ) Bivvy bags are often constructed using lightweight waterproof material (usually a nylon), with a breathable top. The Paratex Dry technical material is a breathable and 100% waterproof fabric. It is treated with what is known as a Hydrophillic Polyurathane (PU) coating to raise the hydrostatic head to >5000mm. The Mylar transport bag and the handy wipe foil pouch are made of barrier film material (multiple layers of different types of material) and are not recyclable. All other materials are recyclable or biodegradable (I've seen claims of 83% biode­gradable or recyclable but couldn’t verify).Forest fires are not the reason for avoiding fires in the winter because forest fires are unlikely to ignite where the landscape is covered in snow, but in the dryer months, campfires are also a major human cause of wildfires. Even if you are outside of an Alpine zone where fires are prohibited, it is still a good idea to avoid building unnecessary campfires. Low weight and a compact shape are the most important factors for runners, since a bulky or heavy bag makes running feel awkward and also more strenuous. Is a bivvy better than a tent? Overnight testing showed no signs of the dreaded condensation, and I did get rained on heavily. I was impressed with the ability to keep dry inside the Ridge Raider and it is now definitely my choice of best bivvy bag if money is no object. And why on earth would you use one when tents exist? Well, such an approach – with your head open to the elements – offers an even more intimate interaction with the wild. The sounds of night creatures are unmuffled, the stars dazzle above you, and your senses are highly attuned to every raindrop and every gust of wind. When does a bivvy bag turn into a one person tent, and does it matter? Our answer is “when it uses two fibre glass poles rather than one or a separate fly sheet”, but no it doesn’t matter.

Fancy it? If you do, then you’re in the right place. We’ve done the hard work for you, putting several products – ranging in design, style, size and price – through their paces on wild camping trips to Scotland, the Brecon Beacons and the Lake District. So, whether you’re looking to venture into bivvying for the first time or if you’re a seasoned pro at sleeping under the stars, there’s something for everyone here. The Best Bivy Bags Tested by Our Team Green Elephant says the bags will decompose in 3 months in an industrial composter or 1 year in a home compost. When you open the Biffy Bag, you'll find this is the only portable bag that has add the separate powder by pouring it into the liner bag. This is a similar system to what you'd find on a Do-It-Yourself system like the Green Elephant Portable bag or other bags designed for portable toilets. This activated powder keeps things fresh and makes sure the gel and deodorizes goes to the right place within your bag.Open the liner bag was wide as possible making sure the chemical crystals are at the bottom of the bag. The material used for the top section of the bivvy is Rab’s eVent waterproof and breathable technical fabric which is 40 dernier and consists of three layers sandwiched together. The bathtub uses a more weighty 70 dernier nylon waterproof floor – this won’t be letting any moisture up from the ground. Leave pets at home. Pets are great companions, but unfortunately, they are sometimes unhappy in cold weather and deep snow, impact ground-nesting birds and other wildlife and unintentionally puncture air mattresses (which happened on one trip causing several people to leave after the first day). The Bush Pro weighs in at a respectable 560g and has fully taped seams to aid with the water proofing. The nylon material is extremely sturdy and will not rip or tear easily. Length is a respectable 245cm x 95cm wide. When you’re ready to camp, the Ridge Raider is effortless to put up. Thread the 8mm pole through a duct in the head section of the bivi, a bit like putting up a dome tent. This then lifts the top of the bivi off your head meaning you can easily lie down and read a book, or even tend a stove located outside close by.

These contain chemicals that make the human waste inside inert, so they are safe in normal dumpsters. Home made WAG bags or bags without the EPA commercial rating can only go in designated human waste dumpsters, which are located at the trailhead. I had a bit of a mare trying to get the tent up in some fairly strong wind but got there in the end. The pegs would ping out of the ground when tension was applied to the tent, so I anchored them in really securely with 3 pegs in each corner, which worked really well. However, not long after pitching the tent, the plastic door clip, which attaches the door to the guy, snapped clean off in a gust of wind. Thankfully I had carabiners with me, so I managed to fix it up with those. I also added carabiners to the door on the other side as a precaution. Mountaineering summits like Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen, and many peaks in North Cascades National Park require the use of wag bags. It is common for routes that require glacier travel to require wag bag use as there is no way for human waste to decompose on a glacier. However, in an emergency situation, especially one that is wet and windy, a bivvy bag (or basic survival bag) can offer enough protection to save your life. For this reason, it is advisable that all trail runners carry a survival bag when running in high or remote areas – even if you’re not expecting to be out for long. Is a bivvy bag worth it?

Ahh, the Lanshan 2 in all its glory. A lot went wrong here. Despite being a bit of a pain, I still love this tent. But I’ll be saving it for summer haha! A bivvy bag is basically a waterproof cover for your sleeping bag. The good thing is a bivi bag is the perfect item to have with you if you plan on going camping without a tent. Next, consider the nature of your running excursion. For a long adventure (more than a few nights), the importance of comfort and plenty of rest can't be underestimated. This is where a slightly heavier set-up might be preferred (eg a one-man tent with some space inside and a comfy sleeping mat). Use social media cautiously: Avoid including specific locations or names of destinations in your personal social media posts.
