My dad and I go backpacking a lot and while we were hiking a section of the Pacific Crest Trail we met some other hikers who were using a tarp for a shelter, instead of the usual tent. Using a tarp is not only lighter than a tent, but it is larger and easy to set up. We’ve been wondering if maybe using a tarp would be better.

Gore-tex has many advantages in a survival situation, here are my 5 top reasons to choose this material over any other.
Gore-tex is a quality, innovative and constantly advancing material which is useful in a variety of situations, especially in some forms of clothing and when looking for a high performance bivi bag that will keep you warm and dry and will last the distance whatever weather conditions you may face.
1. Gore-tex fabric is really a very durable material and will ensure that, as long as you take good care of it, it will last you longer than other fabrics you may have the option of choosing, which will in the long term save you money buying new equipment.
2. Gore-tex is, unlike many other fabrics, breathable whilst still being waterproof to give you maximum protection but still keep you comfortable. Wind protection is also provided by goretex and again allows moisture to escape, something you wont find amongst other materials.
3. Gore-tex is lightweight and compactable and will enable you to add it to your survival kit without any added frustrations of extra weight or space.
4. All seams can be hot taped, meaning that there will not be stitching in the seams, unlike other fabrics in which stitching of the seams can inflict small holes and allow heat to escape and moisture to enter.
5. Finally, Gore-tex technology is constantly advancing and new innovations are regularly coming into mainstream use. For example, the introduction of triple layer Gore-tex fabric has further optimised the breathability, durability and windproof and waterproof properties of this material.
So in the authors opinion if you are going to buy a bivi bag then i would advise that you opt for a Gore-tex model, preferably triple layer as this will provide you with every aspect of protection you can get in the present day market. Also if you think that it may be too expensive, consider that in the long term it may not only save you money but may save your life or at least ensure you get a better nights sleep. Also consider the added features of a bivi tent, or as it is often referred to, a hooped bivi bag. These bags combined with Gore-tex technology will keep you fully insulated yet allowing for increased space, meaning that you will get a far less claustrophobic feeling when zipped up for the night and also make you more visible and provide you with more room for storage.

When you are choosing a sleeping bag, one of the major things to consider is the insulation fill type. Sleeping bags are typically made with either synthetic fill or down fill. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but a down filled sleeping bag is usually the best choice.
Down Sleeping Bags Weigh Less
The weight of your backpack and its contents is crucial when hiking the trails or even climbing a mountain. The more weight you carry, the sooner you will tire out and need a break. A down sleeping bag can make your pack a little lighter. Since a sleeping bag is one of the biggest items you will carry while hiking, this is definitely a good place to save some weight.
A Down Filled Sleeping Bag is Warmer than Synthetic Filled
Surprisingly, no synthetic fills can match down’s weight to warmth ratio. Down traps more air and acts as a better insulator than any manmade fibers. When you are camping in cold weather, a warm sleeping bag is a must. You don’t want to lose sleep shivering through the night, especially if you need energy for an early morning mountain ascent.
Down Bags Are More Compact
Pack space can be an importance factor when choosing camping gear. A down sleeping bag will compress more to take up less backpack space than a synthetic sleeping bag. That leaves you more room for things like food and extra clothes.
The Disadvantages of a Down Sleeping Bag
Although down sleeping bags have a lot of benefits, there are some drawbacks such as price and versatility.
In wet conditions down may be a poor choice. This is because a wet down bag becomes very compact, providing little insulation. This essentially leaves you with no sleeping bag for the night. To prevent this problem there are down sleeping bags made with water resistant or waterproof material. So you can still get a down bag for kayaking trips or rainy camping.
The only other real drawback is that down sleeping bags tend to be much more expensive than synthetic sleeping bags. You are usually paying for a higher quality sleeping bag when you choose down though.
Conclusion
Unless price is a big concern, down insulation is usually the best choice for sleeping bags. When you choose down, your bag weighs less, you have more room in your pack and you are warmer.
