I have a old Chub Cyfish Plus 2 man bivvy.
As the frame was too big for the fabric, after advice, I trimmed the frame with a pipe cutter.
This worked and I was able to easily use the bivvy. Now I no longer need the bivvy I cant sell it because of this modification so will bin it.
BUT I have the overwrap, groundsheet and mozzy front and it seems a shame to bin those as well.
What do I do

If you've used a pipe cutter and it's tidy and more importantly it's made the product work (like it should have done in the 1st place) what's the problem for a buyer?

Not tidy as the ferrules were difficult to get off the tubes and also part of the fabric going round the tubes had become unstiched as it was so tight on the frame.

if worried about selling it for cash then perhaps consider donating to someone in need (youngster or fishing charity)
