So long old friend

Bazza, do you know somebody nicked the holes out of your crocs?

 

As I get older I find getting in and out of bivvies a bit of a struggle, the Titan looks good but I’m not paying over £700 for a bivvy, the Fox evo has good reviews so I’m thinking either that or the trakker, I prefer a brolly style shelter because I like to stay mobile and move where the fish are, Ive even been known to move in the middle of the night

 

Are they...crocs ?

 

No crocs are hideous shoes that people wear who have no dignity

 

And somebody nicked the holes out of yours, so where are you hidding now Bazza

 

They are not crocs, they are bivvy shoes

 

They’re crocs.

 

Have some raspberry sauce init and you have a mivvi just try n remember the old friends are the best , a new one might not look after you so well or sleep with you when your older and smell just saying like

 

I must admit in a certain light they do look a bit crocy, but the man in the bivvy shoe shop assured me they were bivvy shoes

 

Maybe take a look at the Titan hide xl if you want a higher door.

Be careful of tempest v2 bivvys. If you get one go over it straight away as the stitching round the doors is shocking on some and leaks when it’s put under tension if the doors done up.

Maybe look at the esp hideout if you want a light weight brolly type.

The Tempest v2 brollys are ok. Might be a little low. Avoid the new tempest brolly advanced if you don’t like low shelters.

I’d definitely say look at the new solar bivvy if you decide to go pramhood style over brolly style. Very similar to the aqua compact m3 but with out aquas outrageous carp tax.

 

Esp low pro and hideout

 

What do these guys do under their bivis at night?

 

I’ve just had a look at the ESP hideout it looks the business cheers for that, I prefer a brolly style bivvy as opposed to a pramhood as I said earlier I like to stay mobile and I find them easier, I agree the Aqua stuff is good but their prices are ridiculously high
My mate has the Tempest V1 with a skull cap and swears by them but I don’t like the sound of the leaky door( are they made by Empi), it’s early days as I’ve only just broken my bivvy ,I’m certainly not going to rush into buying a new one until I’ve seen all the options, in the mean time I’ve got my old faithful Nash oval

 

Play with our tackle

 

I take off shirt. Wrestle carp.

 

This is my wychwood Mhr 60” I’ve a overwrap and storm poles for when it’s really bad and it’s stood up to some rough weather no problem.

The only issue I found is it’s not very deep if you have a big bed
