Conversation idea ?

[Ark79]

I’m mulling over tents, fishing bivvys and stoves…. So my idea is to use the fishing bivvy and convert it into a hot tent…. Any ideas would be appreciated, tho it’s just a thought at present but that thought could progress very quickly if I want and could do it lol…

Suppose sewing a stove jack into the bivvy would sort the problem out however I’m not wanting to compromise the tents waterproofing… space wouldn’t really be an issue as the bivvy I’m looking at has plenty of room for all my gear and bed with space for a large seat …. Don’t need a seat so there’s plenty room for a small to medium stove…

The method to my madness is I would be able to use the bivvy for summer and winter fishing and winter camping close to the car so weight isn’t an issue…. Well that’s the idea anyway lol

Does it have to be a log burning stove Mark??

Thinking so bill , summer time it wouldn’t be needed but would be very welcome in winter and the ambiance would be great , plus I want a hot tent I suppose I’m trying to make one tent do all lol

Looked at heaters and I’m not overly fond of them mate ….

The log burners are definitely more soulful mate.....are you leaning towards any particular one?

funny you mention this as a couple moons ago i had the same idea

my plan was to buy a 2 man carp bivi like this Fox R-Series 2 Man XL Khaki Bivvy

then sacrifice one of the front windows with fitting one of these Tent Flashing Kit for Frontier or Outbacker Stove.

then get wood burning stove of choice and use 1 x 45 Degree Pipe 2.1" - WinnerWell to get flue through the stove jack and up and away from the bivi


not that ive given it much thought

*** other bivis are available at cheaper costs ***

go for the 2 man as you can never have to much room i found the 1 man to small when i had my bed chair in and bits of kit so took it back and changed it for the two man and then a few months latter sold it ... but looking at other options at the moment
