The Huntech bivy is all I have ever used even in the worst of weather.

What's it like for condensation? Been told that bivvy bags should be renamed condensation sacks.

I cant speak for mickey duck but I meant huntech fly. bivys do condensate due to small area with limited air flow.

Ah. The bivvy bag and bivvy are two different things.

The huntech bivvy looks good. Need a ground sheet though.

But at 190 bucks it seems like a 2 man tent could be bought for not much more.

I own the Stoney Creek Shelter - its basically the same as the Huntech Bivvy but slightly bigger, lighter and made of blaze orange. So far I've had it out for around 5 nights in a variety of places. No real rain to speak of but from what I've read of how the Huntech Bivvy stands up, this one will be no different.

Easy as to set up and take down. Heaps of room for two people and a dog plus gear. My partner and I went for a walk last week with the dog. Easily fit us with gear and still enough room to cook at the open end out of the wind.

Don't they condensate due to only having one layer above you
This is where the Tents with fly over frame layer ad stop condensation

I have a Huntech Bivy - great for erecting and don't need to good a spot to put it - but now use with "bivy bag" over sleeping bag as well

I have a question.

Do you guys think it's worth getting a quality bivvy like the huntech or stoney creek or a cheap nature hike tent? The tent will be 230 odd dollars

I reckon you better off with what I said above
The Bivvy bags can be used on light hunt overnight in good weather when you want to hunt in close and late and then just curl up in some natural shelter.
Then the Bivvy Huntech fly can be used as more base.

Cheap tents are cheap and can be a pain with lost pegs and difficult to set up if caught out late and cant find good ground etc

I just bought a Big Agnes Scout UL2 tent as I wanted something with a bit more room than my Terra Nova Solar Competition for multiday trips. Its a trekking pole single layer tent but is a good design to prevent condensation and it has plenty of room for two and gear, weighs 900gms with footprint included and I use trekking poles anyhow so may as well put them to another use

Buy a big agnes fly creek for one person and let your mate do the same. then you will have all bases covered.

What are the prices of these Big Agnes here

Was thinking of getting one of these or a MSR Hubba Hubba in from Ukraine - some good prices there as shops tipping over left-right and center

Cool. Don't plan on fly camping much in winter so that sounds ok.

What ever direction you go - buy quality - not cheap.
And watch storage - Re mouses - little pricks

Sort of up there in price but they are real light, do the job with no fuss and easy to carry all day. The Ukraine shopping sounds a good idea.
