Thank you for the suggestions, hopefully they will solve my problem next time

Just returned from a French trip where I used a new bivvy for the first time. I had the devils own job taking the pram head poles apart, if I'd been solo I'd still be there. Any suggestions for the future please ?

I'm off to Rushes next season. Has anybody fished it recently ?

Thanks for all the advice. I've just acquired a second hand but essentially brand new Quest mark 3 2 man bivvy, around one third of the new price. Easy to erect and take down, nice height and size and impressive quality, at least by first impressions. Looking forward to my next France trip now.

Check out Desire 2. Basic accommodation but a stunning setting

I currently have a very old one man JRC STI with an extreme overwrap. It's about 15 years old, still very serviceable and owes me absolutely nothing. Been very pleased with it. But I'm pushing on into my 70's now and much as I hate to admit it, struggling physically a little. The JRC is a little hard to assemble and disassemble. It's also very low and it's this that's persuading me that I need a replacement. Does any of this impact your advice ? Thanks

Many thanks

Looking for some mid priced bivvy advice please. My carp fishing is now limited to a week or two in France, spring to autumn. Looking for a one man bivvy, seen Cyprinus and Quest in the flesh but not prologic. How do they compare ? Any views based on experience would be appreciated. Thank you

May be worth checking if there are still sturgeon in there. If yes, prepare to be wiped out on occasion
