- A camping review of a bug bivy/inner tent I purchased on Ebay for around 26 dollars. This works great as a stand alone or inner tent bug solution with a floor.

the cub checking out that cactus is priceless!! I backpack to flyfish in the Sierra Nevada backcountry and I love to cowboy camp but the mosquitoes, black flys, ants, etc... are brutal. I had a bivy like that but I didn't like the mesh so close to face. I built my own a frame style that I clip in to a ridgeline. I had some silnylon from an old tent outer I found and a cheap bug net I that paid $15 for. 34" wide at the head 32" wide at the foot 40" tall that tapers down to 34" at the foot. I can sit up inside it and cook outside under the tarp when it rains. with my 10x10 silnylon tarp, 10 aluminum and titanium stakes and my ridge line I'm at 1.9 pounds.
Miss this guy, always learned from him.
Me2. He had his own way and he knew his stuff. I miss him
In Soviet Russia, we don't use bug net, we sleep outdoors with our mouth open to get free midnight bug snack.
LOL!
Soviet Russia was Shitty.
You are missed Walker! R.I.P.
That's a nice stove. I like the way you can feed long sticks in and let them rest on that shelf that sticks out.
I love your product reviews. They help with my decision making.
Nothing better than trying out new gear! Thanks for the review.
True. Thanks for watching!
I know he is gone, but I love his videos and am still learning from them and being entertained by them.
Buddy that bug bivy seems to be a lot of product for that price! Awesome find. Thanks so much for sharing these videos. Thumb's up~John
Another great video kevin. Thanks for the great ideas.😁🌲🔥
Thanks!
So right about the bugs. I saw horse flies yesterday that were at least 2 inches long.
I think it was about this time last year, when it was very hot, that I was camping using my solo tent. It was nice that the upper part of the tent was mesh. I was able to stay cooler at night, and away from the bugs. Plus, no condensation. That looks like a great setup for hot night camping. The one thumbs down, is home from their vacation in Cape Cod......😬😁
LOL! A real supporter of the channel for sure. Hot nights kinda suck when camping.
I've been waiting for this. It's in my price range. Good to know it worked. Excellent review.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video Walker! I could really relate to the hot weather camping ⛺️. 👍
Thanks!
Hi Kevin, great to see you in another overnight camp out again. That bug bivy looks really nice. Hopefully the quality is good for such a great price. I was considering the DD Tarp tent and inner screen tent, but you're looking at almost $300! looking for lightweight solutions. With your poncho and inner tent, looks like a great solution without breaking the bank! thanks again for another great video and the info.
Thanks!
He’s gorgeous! The bear I mean! All the best.
LOL! Thanks for watching!
"SHE" has milk in those teets sooooo
Walker, thanks for sharing and bringing us along. The bivy looks like a keeper. Atb 👍
Thanks!
Great find/deal on bugbivy ! Always enjoy #Camping #Outdoors #BushCraft w/ MegaWoodswalker ! Thnxs 4 uploading 👍🏻🇺🇸💯
Thanks!
Hilarious! You and Kulcraven both release a review of these on the same day! Awesome! Thank you! I’ll ask the same thing I asked him - be nice to see a vid of the permethrin coated clothes. Ticks are horrible in my area and Lyme disease is spreading.
I am a sub of Kulcraven. Good channel. I just got tagged by a tick. Lyme is all over my area. Horrible. Thanks for watching!
I have some Sawyer so will check into doing that.
Love your adventures an that bug bivy is a must have 😊
I recently purchased 2 of the One Tigris A frame mesh tents. Very light weight. Uses treking poles or tie-out to trees. Pair it up with the OD UST Tube Tarp. Makes a nice lightweight system.
Amazing how much better one can sleep without dealing with mosquitoes, ticks, scorps, and snakes. Well worth the little extra weight.
I agree!
Thanks for this great review. I immediately subscribed your channel and ordered such a bug tent.
Kevin, nice job, looks like a great bivy. thanks
Thanks!
Another great video mate, i've been looking at these for summer use here in Australia think I'll ad it to my list of ebay must have's lol
Cheers Daryl
Thanks!
I just ordered mine. Should get it in a month. LOL! Looks like it will work. Thanks for the video.
Don’t leave your boots outside! A great attraction for bugs and mice. Other than that, great video.
Hey Walker. For future hiking trips I've made a decision to go ultra light. I'm at the point where all my gear, with the exception of my pack, is ultra light gear. My goal is to get my total weight, including food and pack, down to less than 20 pounds. I think I can do it. Heavier weight will only be for winter camping. I'm just too old to be lugging 30 pounds of gear plus water. I can't get any significant distance with that much weight. I'm 62. I could do it in my younger days but not any more.
Consider the following:
Dream Hammock + ZPacks Top Quilt and Under quilt + Zpack Carbon Fiber 11 foot tarp + Kelty Falcon 4000 pack = 11.825 pounds
Dream Hammock + Zpacks Top Quilt and Under Quilt + carbon fiber 11 foot tarp + Kelty Redcloud 110 pack = 9.95 pounds
Dream Hammock + Zpacks Top Quilt and Under Quilt + Carbon fiber 11 foot tarp + Arc Haul 62 Liter carbon fiber pack = 6.36 pounds
It's not a hard choice
It's a tricky balance. I have been cold in August. All it takes is a hot day then a storm and old front plus no insulation.
Just grabbed one! Thanks for sharing.
Hope it works out!
MegaWoodswalker I’ll use it with a tarp above and tie it off to the ridgeline.
Kevin you will be missed! RIP friend,
Great video. I know it’s from 2019 but is this still available I can’t find it on eBay and the link in description goes to just a general search page. Do you recall the name or have a link? Love the general just the facts and here is how it works in real life reviews
very pleasant review, tx :)
Awesome
Hey! Wait a minute! How come it said new haven zoo in the bear footage! 🙂 Just kidding! Walker! Rest In Peace sir! I know you’re up there shooting, gear from amazon, review videos! See you on the other side!
Corn starch under the arms and nether regions stops that sticky feeling.
Great video Walker. 👍🏻
I will give that a try!
But then, does your sweat turn into gravy?
Thanks for the review & demonstration...looks worth every bit of the $26 you paid! On another note, I believe you earlier alluded to a few health issues you’ve experienced. As many of us, including myself, have issues with high blood pressure, diabetes, joints that hurt, etc, etc, could you share what you feel comfortable with telling us some of your health concerns and more importantly what you have done (and are doing) to improve those things? I would find it helpful as well as encouraging.
Yeah you can count me in for the joint pain and blood sugar. There's no way I could sleep on the pad, I couldn't walk the next morning.
That pad looked like an orange paper towel...too thin for me, too.
I lowered my blood sugar by not drinking any juice, soda or anything with sugar in it. I don't add sugar to anything. I generally avoid chips etc etc. I do need to drop some weight as gain some back mostly from eating past 8 which I just eliminated last week so will see what happens. I hike or walk at least 5 miles a day 5 or 6 days a week. That helps lower blood sugar (have actually measured it on a meter). Thanks for watching!
The multi mat isn't ideal. I normally sleep on a down mat or hammock. I lucked out with the soft ground.
It was picked as use to sit on when filming and it can fit inside my pack. I rarely use it to sleep on. This was an exception. The Exped Downmat is the way to go for sleeping on the ground IMO.
I'll tell you what Walker that's one hell of a bivy you got there
Thanks!
That's a crazy low price. Kind of makes me sad that I bought a Luxe Outdoors Hex-V8, but I got it because it fits real nice in my Sierra Designs Mountain Guide shelter, for cooler weather use, or I can just take a lightweight tarp for rain protection in warmer conditions.
I am planing on using this in a tipi shelter as well for times when it's not cold enough for the stove and the bugs are still out. Thanks for watching!
Nice review - thanks for the info.
How much room is there in there with someone your height?
How much extra gear could you get inside?
Looked like a nice trip. Too bad you didn't score any fish.
One of the joys of winter camping; no bugs! Voles maybe, but no bugs.
I've been places where the bugs were so bad that after getting in the bug bivy, I spent the next ten minutes killing the bugs that followed me in! Happens with my hammock too.
Tons of room but not really enough to toss in additional gear like a pack. Part of the intent was for use inside a tipi as 1/2 bug nest. I am working on a cheap UL heated camping/bugout shelter and my hope is to make this part of it. Mostly imported cheaper (price but quality is better than expect) components. Sewing up a removable stove jack this week and will into the shelter on the channel soon then test it our during a few trips (just don't tell Patrick).
The eBay link doesn’t show that bug net. Do you have any way for me to look at it and buy it ? Thanks
How about that small lightweight fishing pole., where?.. Thanks
nice review! thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! Would you mind sharing your height? I'm 6'2" so always concerned with how something like the bivy here would work for me.
6'1" and I have lots of room.
Great video walker. I’d put the money towards a quality well ventilated tent instead of buying that.
For me a bug bivy is more of a toss in the bag/occasional use sorta thing than a replacement for a full/proper tent. I would much prefer using my Hennessy Hammock in warm weather. Thanks for watching
What was the name of your fishing rod? Looks pretty epic for backpacking. Enjoy your videos and reviews very much 👍😊
Fiddlehead but I tried to hunt down the maker as got it at the dawn of Tenkara in the USA and can no longer find it. If I have any more luck will let you know.
Hey walker I've been watching a lot of your videos here lately every night and I've seen you never done a review on any of your hiking boots how's about doing one on your boots if you don't mind
I want a Bear Bivy.
That wound be fantastic! 😀 thanks for watching
You just put your shoes out where they can get filled with bugs. Place them in a shopping plastic bag. Two years or more in deep jungle you take care of all your kit, Png, Borneo, Honduras, French Guyana and Sumatra. Bon chance.
Thumbs up to you as well👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Did someone found this bug bivy online, I searched for it but couldn't find it anywhere
me too :(
You could easily set that bug bivy up in a 4 person floorless tipi
That's exactly my intention.
Bro, what state are you camping in ... I just few bears there ..owesome !
Kevin, do you have info on the fishing rod?
Sorry to say that Tenkara rod appears to be no longer for sale. Tenkara USA has good info on this style of fly fishing. www.tenkarausa.com/
What about snakes while camping? Are they a concern?
This is totally sealed and even has a bath tub floor. That said for the most part only ever encountered potentially dangerous snakes like Timber Rattlers and Water Moccasins when on the move. Never had one enter camp and approach a shelter though I guess anything is possible. Thanks for watching!
👍👍
Thanks!
Aren't those 2 bear cubs cute little rascals .
Yes they are. It's a mystery why one decided to hug that cactus. Thanks for watching!
@@MegaWoodswalker I lived in the desert SW for 33 years. I can't tell you how many times I saw tourists reach out and touch cacti. Some of the cacti have very fine needles and look as though they would be soft to the touch. For some reason, folks who don't know better are irresistibly tempted to touch them. Obviously, that bear cub was not familiar with cacti either! I had to laugh at his reaction.
I didn't know he passed away 😥 RIP Sir.
Wow out of stock already =/
What, no bacon? LOL
LOL! Thanks for watching!
B E A R S 😨
BC Survivor Yepper, where he is, there are bears!
Yes. There was even an altercation not far from that spot a maybe 2 years ago. No one seriously hurt but it's Lyme disease which is a risk IMO. However have to take precautions just the same. Thanks for watching.
