My brolly system didn't really have enough sticking points so I bought some 50mm wide sticky backed velcro and it holds pretty well. Admittedly one piece did come adrift after a good pull but I'm sure something like areldite would hold it even firmer.

Sew some double sided clips onto bottom of bivvy and groundsheet, the ones like on your rucksack.
My original titan all season had a clip in groundsheet and it was a decent method

The old titan ground sheet had 3 clips and that was enough to hold it in place.

if you go down the self adhesive velcro route, it can pay off to warm the adhesive on the velcro prior to sticking. A lot of products like that benefit from the glue being activated a bit before sticking down
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
