This is so rad!! Made a bivy sack a couple months ago and it was fun (quick compared to other projects) and even more fun to use.
Cool to know there are templates for other stuff out there.
Getting outdoor fabrics is sort of tough without going online - sewing in general is underrated
- digdugdirk 4y agoI love the idea of a bivy for bikepacking - any recommendations for templates/design ideas?
- dieselgate 4y agoThey’re great for bike packing and if you’re not trying to share a space with someone else/dog. Better than hammocks in my experience and obviously less weight than a tent. I had an outdoor research alpine bivy that was really nice (goretex) but stolen out of my vehicle - didn’t want to buy another so just kind of tried to mimic that. The bottom section is duck canvas and the top section just ripstop nylon. They’re basically just a baggy sleeping bag with no insulation and can close however - zipper, cinch string etc
- dieselgate 4y agoI purchased some waterproof marine fabric today for other projects but that’d probably be good for a bivy/tents. It’s pretty cheap per yard (compared to goretex) and is more waterproof than any of the materials I mentioned above
