About this deal
I've spent a night out with just the bag and it was large enough for me I'm a big lad so you'll easily get a roll mat and some gear inside too. It has a lot of stray dogs, which I anticipate having to fend off not infrequently with pepper spray in the middle of the night if I am sleeping in the Oex Bush Pro.

This is ‘proper’ camping and should definitely be tried once before your days in this world are over.
Bivvy bags range from emergency metal foil space blankets which every hill climber and mountaineer should keep in their rucksack, to full-on tent replacements costing hundreds of pounds.

The understated green colour helps blend the bivvy into the background and you don’t feel like you’re on display at all. I do wonder if the Oex Bush Pro would be safer from bears in the sense of always being able to use the bear spray because you are never inside a tent.
