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.

After last weekends survival campout I'm in the market for a bivy myself..
Thanks I will look that up, I had looked at surplus US Bivies that are a part of the MSS but they weigh over 3 lbs and are a bit bulky for what I am looking for. That being said I don't know if that may be a burden I will have to settle with if it is the best option.
the Land Shark Stealth bag looks like it is exactly what I am looking for, thanks :)
Thought I would include this one in this post, looks like a handy item for a day trips gone bad

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.

Seems to be out of stk now, but also seems to show up again every so often.
Does the bottom part attach to the back of the jacket? It has straps and buckles. Just wondering.
Never mind. I see how it works. Pretty cool.

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.

Eureka makes very good tents. My son uses the Eureka Spitfire 2 to camp pretty much every month for the past 5 years and it's holding up very well. It's a 2 person tent (very intimately) and weighs in at about 4.25 lbs. The Spitfire 1 only weighs 2.75 lbs. These tents provide great rain protection.

Personally, I prefer a hammock but it's not a lightweight option for cold weather though. My homemade setup weighs just over 6 lbs complete with the hammock, bugnet, straps, tarp, and storage bags, which together take up about 1/4 of the size of a backpacking tent. Top and bottom quilts (aka sleeping bags) are a lot of additional weight and bulk though for cold weather, especially since I haven't gone the down quilt route yet due to cost.
When I have to sleep on the ground, I've got a Cabelas Trekker 2 person tent that actually sleeps two pretty comfortably with gear but it's just over 7 lbs (more than what they advertise it as weighing). Or, if camping with the wife, I have a big a** Eureka Tetragon 9 that I've had for almost 20 years that weighs almost as much as my loaded backpack.
Yes, you will.
What 7 lbs? How about three

How about dumping the LandShark idea - because the guy is in Canada and the shelter isn't going to work after three hours.... Anything that is reflective also reflects sweat and chills.
He needs a bug free environment that is comfortable - the hammock can be pitched on the ground and in between the trees... it compresses to a small basketball - in colder temps a down 3/4 can be added. {custom} and a down jacket will get him there.
wow 15 days and no other responses?
