I am looking for a compact waterproof survival Bivy that is not Hi-Vis for my Go-Bag. As a shelter in case it is needed and would possibly be in sub zero temperatures. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Here's a little info on bivys - don't know about the "survival" part - I'll leave that up to you. Why the color choice?

well mainly I want to option to be unseen if I gotta get out of town, I have a 48 hour pack and that will get me out of town and to my mothers in the country where there is a genny and some luxuries others may not have if the SHTF. I would like to control if I am to be seen or not and not be in a bright orange bag while I am sleeping.

Well I have an orange one, and I figure if I want to go stealth, I'll just throw together a brush pile and sleep in the middle of it!
"Hey George. Does that look like an orange bivy to you?"
"Yeah. Now that you mention it. Wonder why he has a poncho slung over it?"
"He must have lot's of money or gear and he's tryin' to hide."
"Both, I'll bet. Maybe we should "borrow" some."
"Hello the camp!"

I'm starting to save my pennies, I'm a big believer in finding something that can do more than one job and this meets all my requirements very nicely.

Does the bottom part attach to the back of the jacket? It has straps and buckles. Just wondering.

I have been looking at this one for a couple months now.

It is snow camo And, since I only use a bivy in the winter, it is the color I want.
Anyways, this guy will also sell you just the material. I am thinking of buying the top material and making a similar one without having to spend $160 for him to make me one.

I have the Eureka Solitaire and I swear I have yet to field test it. This year...maybe, if the planets line up. You can enter through the end or the top with the rain fly removed. But getting in through the top is a pain.
