sleeping in a bivvy

[wayne baker]

I tend to just wear nice comfy joggers and and tea shirt, Keep the boots in the doorway of the bivvy. I Rarely sleep and fish though, Most of my session fishing nowadays is after tench so i like to be a bit more tentative. So i sleep during the less productive times. I always try to get the rods as close to the door as possible, There's nothing worse than them first few seconds when you are woken by a take in the night and fumble about trying to get to the rods. One lake i use to fish years a go had steep clay banks and they were treacherous after it had rained. I ended up in the drink so many times me mates were going to put isotopes on the heels of my shoes.

Thanks, everyone - very helpful.

 

Another question - what do you eat?! Do you just stock up on Mars Bars, or take lots of sandwiches - or take a break and go down the chippy?

Nah, they don't make them in camo'.

 

(Do they make you stand like a prat, or is it optional?)

I used to have a German Army issue sleeping bag.It had arms and the bottom un zipped so you could put your feet through it and wear it like a parka.Was great for Zander fishing where I tend to sit up in a chair at night rather than sleep.Dont know if they are still available from surplus stores?

 

A 10 second Google and yes they do and reasonably priced as well!-

She thought the giant thermal fleece "romper suit" was funny enough, if I buy one of those my wife will quite literally injure herself laughing at me!

They're like a giant baby growbag - im liking the idea though

[Dick Dastardly]

Honest they are superb! Soon as Ive got some dough Im going to get another now I know you can still get them.

 

Dont know why more night anglers havnt switched on to them......must be the lack of a label.........

 

Incidently dont think they are just like wearing a one piece suit they are a proper sleeping bag.
