This was day two for this poncho and contractor bag shelter set up above 5000 feet in Central Brazil. The bivy sack kept Renato warm and dry.

  • piss poor excuse for outdoorsman, you both look like you have given up!

  • @ghostface442 That was Renato's first night ever in the bush and he spent it at 5000 feet in driving rain and high winds with just a survival kit. That was the first night of several and he did exceptional.

  • If you pitched it more taut it wouldn't move around like that.

  • This is the shelter after a night of howling wind and rain at 5000 feet. I had gone up to Renato's shelter to see how he held up in the storm.

  • Do you live in Brazil?

    I do. Never find Bivy sacks to sell here, so I'm buying one thro ebay... I already got an US military poncho.

    Nice vid.

  • Yes, I do live in Brazil. Bivy sacks are great for the mountains here. They allow you to sleep just about anywhere.

  • Right equipment. Wrongly used. In those conditions should have neen real close to the ground.

  • i couldnt sleep in that to noisy id stay up for weeks until a house was built

  • When the economy breaks down....We die, It's that simple. We have lost the skills we need as a nation to survive. In the war the government helped develop people's survival mentality, But nowadays we are just in the way.

  • Big open face in high winds is a disaster. Lower it. Last year in Colorado I was @ 10,100' with 40-70mph and 3-4 ft of snow dumping with my tarp and bivy and had no problem other than snow drifting against the tarp which building a snow wall solved that problem.
