Brief History
The OD green British Army bivvy bag, also known as a bivi bag or bivouac sack, is a compact and lightweight waterproof shelter designed to protect soldiers and their sleeping bags from the elements. Here’s a brief history of this essential piece of military gear:
### Origins and Development:
- **Early Use**: The concept of a bivvy bag can be traced back to the needs of soldiers for lightweight, portable protection in the field. Traditional military gear included bulky tents and shelters, which were not always practical for soldiers on the move.
- **World War II and Post-War**: The idea of a simple, waterproof cover to protect soldiers in the field began to take shape during Worl...

      The main channel is still there airing videos every Friday, but is due end very soon, & replaced by 2 other sister channels, with (Surplus Only) being one of them. bexbugoutsurvivor is filmed a year in advance, and I haven't filmed anything for many months now, and when the remaining episodes are aired the channel will close. My back is ok but on very strong meds with heavy side effects. The second part of the social experiment will restart bexbugoutsurvivor in October 2025 with 36 episodes, and the more familiar (bexbugoutsurvivor) content moved to membership or Patreon. OTHER CHANNELS I OWN. bex-treks (Lightweight camping) bexbugoutsurvivor (Original ideas) none mainstream thinking. Surplus Only (Military kit) displayed without personal opinion. An announcement will come soon to all subscribers.

    Hi Bex. Hope you are well. These boots were really common, in the early ‘80’s. I bought a couple of pairs for beach fishing down Chesil in Dorset. Great boots for shingle, as nothing would get caught in the treads. I probably only paid a fiver for them back then as, like you say, they were not the comfiest of boots, but fine if you just wanted something to throw on. Hope you are well, all the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

    I think there's a bit of a mindset thing with it, Most people load up a pack with the idea of 'I carry it from here to here and back', Whereas the military outlook is 'I carry it to here, then here, then leave nonessentials at the harbour and continue on further...' You need your guts with you and can manage to function perfectly well without the fluff. Belt order is guts, Bergen is fluff... 😂🤘

I can never find them in crap condition even in my size (medium) , so I HAD to buy this when I saw it today. Said $60.99 on the tag, but when she rang it up it said $39.99.

    Ey up. I own the trousers and also the newer MTP waterproof jacket and whilst I think they're great, cheap to buy and certainly keep you dry (if looked after) I do find one downside, they're definitely not as breathable as my gore-tex pro jacket... but then I only paid £35 for the MTP waterproof jacket as opposed to £400 for my gore-tex pro jacket so there's definitely many benefits to the military issue ones.

    I have a full softie set, but just the top in the new version, never actually seen any trousers though online, at least, not that I’m aware of. How come the new version isn’t as warm, what kit does a soldier wear to make up for the difference in warmth? I got mine for winter camping, although I’ve just invested in a Savotta TST thermal cloak, the insulated one (67g/m2), I figured I’d wear it in camp instead of the softie suit- it is about 100grams less in weight, but, it means I can take a lot lighter sleeping bag because the thermal cloak is also an insulated bivi bag, so I’m saving at least 1.1kg or more, also the the thermal cloak is fully waterproof in the rain (the zip isn’t so you have to sort of fold it around you to prevent ingress. The plus side of the zip is, it lets condensation out when using as a bivi, so although it’s not breathable material, it’s not at all as bad as you would thing it would be, condensation wise).
