Thread: Help -Setting up my Huntech Bivy first time

Sorry @Thar missed your question. Its not a cover, its a cheap collapsible/folding table. Light weight and along with a folding camp chair makes life under the stars very comfortable.

Oh, and I had several 1.5ltr soda bottles rinsed, filled with water from my filtered tap and frozen solid. Left enough space in top for my few perishables and half a doz green bottles at a time keeping chilled. From Friday morning to Monday morning there was still ice lumps in the centre's of the bottles remaining after I used 4 to stick inside the carcass Friday night. Awesome little chiller bin.

Photos should be self-explanatory. Material for sleeve holding front pole was ‘reusing’ the original bag for the pole from memory. The second pole was an aluminium KIWI CAMPING REPLACEMENT TENT POLE KIT.

Forgot to add that this is not an original Huntech Bivy as they weren’t available when I was wanting one. It is a knock off North Ridge but same dimensions etc

Cool - that looks pretty neat. Thanks for taking the time to set it up and take some photos! My bivy is much lower to the ground - I've been thinking of sewing on some more tabs on the front edge to make setting up the front "fly" easier - might give some more options.

thats clever..you would definately have to be a bit more wind direction savy though.
one thing Ive found with mine...unlike photos RUMPY put up,I find the tighter I can have the top the better...sure sheds water better anyway.
its awesome near vechille with a camp stretcher to sleep on,heaps of room for me and the dog. Ive taken it up to bush line a few times too...slept in in while away on course with landsar too..take matress from in accomidation and set up over by a fence so my snoring doesnt keep everyone else awake,I sleep like a log with 4" thick foam squab to smooth out the ground LOL.

Probably not very clear in photos but my Bivy has 2 adjustable straps so you adjust the width I.e make it higher & narrower or wider & lower. Not sure if the Huntech has that?
Mine has the original webbing strap beside the original pole and just a piece of cord beside the added pole

yeah it has it...never thought about it like that before though...good thinking batman.
