There are a number of fun outdoor activities that require overnight shelter. For example, whether you enjoy mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, or you simply want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some time in the great outdoors, it’s important to consider the type of bivvies and shelters that will best meet your needs.

Of course, many outdoor enthusiasts will construct a bivvie from natural resources found at their shelter location; however, you can also use shelters, such as a cabin, tent or even a bivouac sack which combines a sleeping bag with a bit of weather protection.

The type of shelter you choose will depend on your personal comfort preference as well as what you can reasonably carry with you. Camping at your favorite fishing spot will be much different than what you’ll be able to carry on a mountain hiking adventure.
