Thread: small packing tent vs bivvy

Before I got the dog I was quite happy with a fly in the right conditions. A couple of trips ago we had taken the fly for a light weight trip and the weather wasn't what it was ment to be and had low cloud for 3 days going through our fly, everything was wet. A good tent is hard to beat in strong wind and rain. Not used the Macpac Sololight but I do have 3 other Macpac tents Olympus "best in strong wind and snow but heavy" Minaret "good all round tent with just enough room for me, the dog and a pack gear inside" Micolight is ok in low wind,rain solo missions without the dog.
