Hands down the best book out there for hard earned tips. If you care to shoot me your e-mail on a pm, I would be more than happy to send you my bivy list. Never forget duct tape, it works great for holding yourself together ( literally).....

I can go all week on a 40 lbs pack and never get cold, wet, or hungry.....
