Biv Etiquette

Being a bit closer to the action these days I have found myself doing a lot more over-nighters and hunting the front country a bit more.

In doing so I have found a few handy bivs. Great distance in to spend the night on a 2 day hunt, maximizing hunting time.
Just wondering if there is any commonly accepted etiquette around crashing in one of said biv's, aside from the (should be) obvious ones of leave things tidy take your rubbish with you.
Ive crashed at biv sites a few times but not stayed in any of the flasher numbers.

Cheers

Leave it as or better than you found it.

Keep it tidy and stock up the wood supply and no one should have any issues.

A note of thanks, and more firewood than you used! What Rushy said

DONT splash photos of it or its location around.....there was a big flash one up north that got demolished after the powers that be found out about it.

Yeah man, my general rule is unless it's my spot x or bivy, it's not mine to share. Makes things simple, and has led to people trusting me with some very cool spots.

By Bivvi are we talking about made by hunters? Not the old doc huts?

If you find shelter in the bush on public land it's yours to use imo however, don't use resources people have brought in that you find (gas, food etc) and make sure it's in better nick when you leave it than when you found it (dry kindling, wood, water) and don't, ever, tell anyone about it - people go to great lengths and effort to make nice little spots to enjoy the outdoors from, good on them.
