JJ,
Last summer I used a Ptarmigan Bivy made by Ti Goat. I loved it, because I
could throw it down in any flat spot big enough for my body, even on a side
hill by an old downed tree. I got the full netting option which was a life
saver south to Dorothy Pass where the mosquitos were really bad. I'm 6'2" so
the chest zip is a little low for good breathing hole placement when I had
to zip it up. However, Ti now makes the Raven which is a little bit longer.
Jim
