Budget bug bivy /inner tent camping and review. 

the cub checking out that cactus is priceless!! I backpack to flyfish in the Sierra Nevada backcountry and I love to cowboy camp but the mosquitoes, black flys, ants, etc... are brutal. I had a bivy like that but I didn't like the mesh so close to face. I built my own a frame style that I clip in to a ridgeline. I had some silnylon from an old tent outer I found and a cheap bug net I that paid $15 for. 34" wide at the head 32" wide at the foot 40" tall that tapers down to 34" at the foot. I can sit up inside it and cook outside under the tarp when it rains. with my 10x10 silnylon tarp, 10 aluminum and titanium stakes and my ridge line I'm at 1.9 pounds.

Miss this guy, always learned from him.

I love your product reviews. They help with my decision making.

That's a nice stove. I like the way you can feed long sticks in and let them rest on that shelf that sticks out.

I know he is gone, but I love his videos and am still learning from them and being entertained by them.

Nothing better than trying out new gear! Thanks for the review.

In Soviet Russia, we don't use bug net, we sleep outdoors with our mouth open to get free midnight bug snack.

So right about the bugs. I saw horse flies yesterday that were at least 2 inches long.

Another great video kevin. Thanks for the great ideas.😁🌲🔥

I've been waiting for this. It's in my price range. Good to know it worked. Excellent review.

Thanks for this great review. I immediately subscribed your channel and ordered such a bug tent.

Hi Kevin, great to see you in another overnight camp out again. That bug bivy looks really nice. Hopefully the quality is good for such a great price. I was considering the DD Tarp tent and inner screen tent, but you're looking at almost $300! looking for lightweight solutions. With your poncho and inner tent, looks like a great solution without breaking the bank! thanks again for another great video and the info.

Amazing how much better one can sleep without dealing with mosquitoes, ticks, scorps, and snakes. Well worth the little extra weight.

Buddy that bug bivy seems to be a lot of product for that price! Awesome find. Thanks so much for sharing these videos. Thumb's up~John

I think it was about this time last year, when it was very hot, that I was camping using my solo tent. It was nice that the upper part of the tent was mesh. I was able to stay cooler at night, and away from the bugs. Plus, no condensation. That looks like a great setup for hot night camping. The one thumbs down, is home from their vacation in Cape Cod......😬😁

Hilarious! You and Kulcraven both release a review of these on the same day! Awesome! Thank you! I’ll ask the same thing I asked him - be nice to see a vid of the permethrin coated clothes. Ticks are horrible in my area and Lyme disease is spreading.

Excellent video Walker! I could really relate to the hot weather camping ⛺️. 👍

I recently purchased 2 of the One Tigris A frame mesh tents. Very light weight. Uses treking poles or tie-out to trees. Pair it up with the OD UST Tube Tarp. Makes a nice lightweight system.

You are missed Walker! R.I.P.

Walker, thanks for sharing and bringing us along. The bivy looks like a keeper. Atb 👍

Great find/deal on bugbivy ! Always enjoy #Camping #Outdoors #BushCraft w/ MegaWoodswalker ! Thnxs 4 uploading 👍🏻🇺🇸💯

Another great video mate, i've been looking at these for summer use here in Australia think I'll ad it to my list of ebay must have's lol Cheers Daryl

He’s gorgeous! The bear I mean! All the best.

Love your adventures an that bug bivy is a must have 😊

Kevin, nice job, looks like a great bivy. thanks

Just grabbed one! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I know it’s from 2019 but is this still available I can’t find it on eBay and the link in description goes to just a general search page. Do you recall the name or have a link? Love the general just the facts and here is how it works in real life reviews

Kevin you will be missed! RIP friend,

Hey Walker. For future hiking trips I've made a decision to go ultra light. I'm at the point where all my gear, with the exception of my pack, is ultra light gear. My goal is to get my total weight, including food and pack, down to less than 20 pounds. I think I can do it. Heavier weight will only be for winter camping. I'm just too old to be lugging 30 pounds of gear plus water. I can't get any significant distance with that much weight. I'm 62. I could do it in my younger days but not any more. Consider the following: Dream Hammock + ZPacks Top Quilt and Under quilt + Zpack Carbon Fiber 11 foot tarp + Kelty Falcon 4000 pack = 11.825 pounds Dream Hammock + Zpacks Top Quilt and Under Quilt + carbon fiber 11 foot tarp + Kelty Redcloud 110 pack = 9.95 pounds Dream Hammock + Zpacks Top Quilt and Under Quilt + Carbon fiber 11 foot tarp + Arc Haul 62 Liter carbon fiber pack = 6.36 pounds It's not a hard choice

Thanks for the review & demonstration...looks worth every bit of the $26 you paid! On another note, I believe you earlier alluded to a few health issues you’ve experienced. As many of us, including myself, have issues with high blood pressure, diabetes, joints that hurt, etc, etc, could you share what you feel comfortable with telling us some of your health concerns and more importantly what you have done (and are doing) to improve those things? I would find it helpful as well as encouraging.

Nice review - thanks for the info. How much room is there in there with someone your height? How much extra gear could you get inside? Looked like a nice trip. Too bad you didn't score any fish. One of the joys of winter camping; no bugs! Voles maybe, but no bugs. I've been places where the bugs were so bad that after getting in the bug bivy, I spent the next ten minutes killing the bugs that followed me in! Happens with my hammock too.

What was the name of your fishing rod? Looks pretty epic for backpacking. Enjoy your videos and reviews very much 👍😊

nice review! thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video! Would you mind sharing your height? I'm 6'2" so always concerned with how something like the bivy here would work for me.

Awesome

Hey walker I've been watching a lot of your videos here lately every night and I've seen you never done a review on any of your hiking boots how's about doing one on your boots if you don't mind

The eBay link doesn’t show that bug net. Do you have any way for me to look at it and buy it ? Thanks

very pleasant review, tx :)

Don’t leave your boots outside! A great attraction for bugs and mice. Other than that, great video.

How about that small lightweight fishing pole., where?.. Thanks

That's a crazy low price. Kind of makes me sad that I bought a Luxe Outdoors Hex-V8, but I got it because it fits real nice in my Sierra Designs Mountain Guide shelter, for cooler weather use, or I can just take a lightweight tarp for rain protection in warmer conditions.

Bro, what state are you camping in ... I just few bears there ..owesome !

I'll tell you what Walker that's one hell of a bivy you got there

Thumbs up to you as well👍👍👍👍👍👍

Corn starch under the arms and nether regions stops that sticky feeling. Great video Walker. 👍🏻

Hey! Wait a minute! How come it said new haven zoo in the bear footage! 🙂 Just kidding! Walker! Rest In Peace sir! I know you’re up there shooting, gear from amazon, review videos! See you on the other side!

Kevin, do you have info on the fishing rod?

What about snakes while camping? Are they a concern?

You could easily set that bug bivy up in a 4 person floorless tipi

Great video walker. I’d put the money towards a quality well ventilated tent instead of buying that.

Did someone found this bug bivy online, I searched for it but couldn't find it anywhere

You just put your shoes out where they can get filled with bugs. Place them in a shopping plastic bag. Two years or more in deep jungle you take care of all your kit, Png, Borneo, Honduras, French Guyana and Sumatra. Bon chance.

👍👍

Aren't those 2 bear cubs cute little rascals .

Wow out of stock already =/

I didn't know he passed away 😥 RIP Sir.

What, no bacon? LOL

B E A R S 😨

I want a Bear Bivy.
