I think this is one of your best reviews IMO, well done. I would have liked to see it in the pool of water for a longer period of time to simulate sleeping overnight through a prolonged downpour, just in case it was ones first line of defense. I am also wondering what the condensation factor will be like in there. The weight and size are excellent.
I have two Guide sil tarps from Aqua Quest which are excellent - really well made and work a treat. I’ve got this exact mummy bag too but I’m not that impressed. I get really bad condensation every time I use it - my down bag is always damp in the foot box in the morning. On a single night out it isn’t that much of an issue, but for a hike through where you potentially can’t dry your gear it’s something to be aware of. Tarps I’d give 9/10. The bivy I’d give a 4/10.
Excellent review Living Survival!. my favorite 70-D --check, double-zippered-- check.. My only very slight knock is they don't have black and your review made me hungry!!
Hi LS. Thanks for the Aqua Quest reviews including the tarps. I'm 6 months new to your channel and really appreciate your product reviews. Well done...
I'm not sure I'd use it in my hammock since I still want a tarp over the hammock, or else pooling in the hammock might get past the zipper. This would be ideal under a more minimal shelter like sleeping on the ground under a poncho tarp where my feet have to stick out in the rain. Thanks for the review. This looks like a good piece.
Ben, This video is well done great info looks like some great products, and as someone else mentioned enjoy how you seem to add some cooking to the videos, really enjoy your channel
That ivy is nice...how does it compare to the military MMSS bivy, size wise and weight? Thanks again brother...take care. I am going to make my way over to your WWS and sign up there too...take care Ed
I am betting you are going to get about as much condensation inside there as if it was just leaking. lol. Not going to lie though, that steak looked amazing!!
That steak looks damn good, I had one of the Frost River just like that but it was the big one...way to big for me...I sent it back and go their Summit pack...and their sojourn pack....good stuff.
You sure like your AquaQuest!! lol I like their poducts as well...I've thought about replacing the mmss woodland bivvy with a more modern one like this,lighter and more compact pack size..
Nice review. I was not familiar with this brand prior to your last couple of videos but it looks like they have some good stuff. Alas, I live in SoCal where it never rains!
Oh man, does that steak look delicious! It cooked just great with that stove! Looking forward to that review! Also great review! Looks pretty waterproof by itself! Would be great for those surprise rain showers!
So you hadn't slept in it yet? How did it work out? I know there's always some condensation, just wondered how it worked out over time. Thanks, good review.
Thanks LS for testing the bivy. OK, for about the same money, which do you think is the best? The Aqua Quest Waterproof Survival Bivy or a G.I. Gore-Tex MSS bivy bag? I'm having a hard time choosing between the two.
Slap that rain maker for getting you in the nuts with the hose. Good review. That bivy would work good for emergency backup but not necessarily primary sleep system component, IMHO.
Great review. I am a new subscriber and im very happy i found your channel. The products that you review are exactly what im looking for. It really help me to make an informed choice on what to buy myself when i get to see the different packs, sleep systems, cook sets, and in this case a bivy. Is this in your opinion a best bang for your buck bivy? Or would i be better off with a buy once cry once expensive one? I live in the north west where it rains non stop so staying dry is very important yet very hard to accomplish. Thanks again for all your videos! You do fantastic reviews!
Hey Ben, do you still recommend this Bivy in 2020 or is there something better now? I am looking for something waterproof that isn’t too big. As always thanks for all the great content. I have been a subscriber since you first started pretty much.
I sub'd thx for your great review! Its waterproof as you mentioned, But how's the breathability? I'm worried about ice on down sleeping bag in winter from condensation. Happy New year!
I hate watching your vids. They are so bad for my weight. The food you cook always looks so tasty I have to go make myself something. Lol Another great review can't wait to see a follow up to see how it's holding up. God bless and stay safe.
atlantic woodsman depends on if you tighten up the top or not and what the conditions are like anything else. I have another one coming up with more room at the head.
Living Survival K cool I will wait for your second video and make my decision... I know some bivy are more breathable then others... But it also depends on the mula you want to spend

I will do a follow up after an overnight. Thanks for the comment. Means a lot.
I agree Ben, I really think this was a very thorough and we'll done review.
I like how you find an opportunity to cook in nearly every video.
Pendejo Well when I go out to review gear I am usually out all day so I cook lunch :)
Looks like a great piece of kit.
Survival On Purpose Thanks for checking it out.

Well done brother, hard to beat that price point for the quality.
Chris Stiff Right on.
Just purchased two of these and was happy to find your review. I plan on trying this out in the snow covered Selkirk's in north Idaho.
+Adam Fleck let me know how you like them.
Excellent review Living Survival!. my favorite 70-D --check, double-zippered-- check.. My only very slight knock is they don't have black and your review made me hungry!!
Hi LS. I don't have much expertise with waterproof kit, but I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks for sharing
SurvivalTech Nord thanks for watching
Hi LS. Thanks for the Aqua Quest reviews including the tarps. I'm 6 months new to your channel and really appreciate your product reviews. Well done...
tkowalski221969 thanks for subscribing and watching!
Great video brother, thanks for taking the time to show the waterproof capabilities of the bivi. Take care and watch your six.
Deputy Prepper You as well ;)
Nice video Ben.
Thx brother
Kick ass Bivy. Nice for use with a cheaper sleeping bag or poncho liner
39camper yeah
I'm not sure I'd use it in my hammock since I still want a tarp over the hammock, or else pooling in the hammock might get past the zipper. This would be ideal under a more minimal shelter like sleeping on the ground under a poncho tarp where my feet have to stick out in the rain. Thanks for the review. This looks like a good piece.
FlashGeiger Yeah, I meant with a tarp, mainly for condensation.
Ah, OK. Condensation isn't as big a deal here at least not when I'm out.
out in the wild, i will simply sleep in my 200 dollar dry suit...
Hell ya.
Ben, This video is well done great info looks like some great products, and as someone else mentioned enjoy how you seem to add some cooking to the videos, really enjoy your channel
ben terwellen I try to put some more content in there besides a review to make it more enjoyable.
You do a great job, I don't know if you sub to corporals corner, his channel is also a very good one......if not check him out
hope is said to spring eternal...keep looking for an ideal bivy....guess I will have to purchase a number of them...
Good job that's how you test products! Thanks
thanks.
is there lots of condensation since it's waterproof?
That ivy is nice...how does it compare to the military MMSS bivy, size wise and weight? Thanks again brother...take care. I am going to make my way over to your WWS and sign up there too...take care Ed
Genuine test! I like it...
I am betting you are going to get about as much condensation inside there as if it was just leaking. lol. Not going to lie though, that steak looked amazing!!
MD Outdoor Reviews Maybe. No real way to see if it will breathe.
That steak looks damn good, I had one of the Frost River just like that but it was the big one...way to big for me...I sent it back and go their Summit pack...and their sojourn pack....good stuff.
***** thanks
Nice review man. My interest is seriously peaked on that stove and am really looking forward to that vid. You're killing me with that steak lol
Feral Woodcraft Might be the best I have tried.
You sure like your AquaQuest!! lol I like their poducts as well...I've thought about replacing the mmss woodland bivvy with a more modern one like this,lighter and more compact pack size..
Steve Holt i am going to be reviewing the mss with snugpak mss soon.
Wet review. Super cool pack. I look forward to the stove review.
MI Timberwookie Or dry review, depending on how you look at it LOL
Nice review. I was not familiar with this brand prior to your last couple of videos but it looks like they have some good stuff. Alas, I live in SoCal where it never rains!
Tracy Reed ya good gear
Hi I'm new. Like your stuff and looks like I'm going to enjoy and learn from you. BTW good teaching.
Edwin Acevedo thanks for watching and the comment.
Impressive demo. Is it breathable? I'm looking forward to your review of the stove. Thanks. atb Opal
I'm looking forward to that too.
Oh man, does that steak look delicious! It cooked just great with that stove! Looking forward to that review! Also great review! Looks pretty waterproof by itself! Would be great for those surprise rain showers!

Awesome piece of gear Ben great review i think Aqua Quest is one of the leaders in out door gear !
atb john
the mi woodsman I love their gear for sure.
So you hadn't slept in it yet? How did it work out? I know there's always some condensation, just wondered how it worked out over time. Thanks, good review.

Hello, thx for tge videos, I have been subscribed for about 6 mouth now. I would like you to know that I have enjoyed your work and thanks again.
Happy to hear that. That so much for the comment.
Thanks LS for testing the bivy. OK, for about the same money, which do you think is the best? The Aqua Quest Waterproof Survival Bivy or a G.I. Gore-Tex MSS bivy bag? I'm having a hard time choosing between the two.

Drew4078 The aqua quest stuff is really good at keeping the water out.
Hey Ben, do you still recommend this Bivy in 2020 or is there something better now? I am looking for something waterproof that isn’t too big. As always thanks for all the great content. I have been a subscriber since you first started pretty much.
Aqua quest makes great products. Honestly though I haven’t tested too many bivys.
I sub'd thx for your great review!
Its waterproof as you mentioned, But how's the breathability?
I'm worried about ice on down sleeping bag in winter from condensation.
Happy New year!
I hate watching your vids. They are so bad for my weight. The food you cook always looks so tasty I have to go make myself something. Lol Another great review can't wait to see a follow up to see how it's holding up. God bless and stay safe.
Rich Schwartz LOL
Would this be a good shelter option for a state like Florida?
huntardgrappler If you have a bug net.
Snugpack jungle bag ;)
I have seen all of your videos I like them can you just please make a video of your main bug out bag
hey there....great vid..still on the fence about getting this ..how breathable is it?
atlantic woodsman depends on if you tighten up the top or not and what the conditions are like anything else. I have another one coming up with more room at the head.
Living Survival K cool I will wait for your second video and make my decision... I know some bivy are more breathable then others... But it also depends on the mula you want to spend
How about Eno Hammocks?
Parker Gay have one and like it :)
