Bead Spread Bivi

A natural and helpful tool afield is a simple cotton bead spread. They can be used to contain warmth when used as a wrap, a first cover for the ground, your cary pack, a lay on cover for your fur on sleep system in very low presipitation, and a light shelter for your face and sleep system in heavy snow. 

If used in conjunction with locally sourced logs to elevate the cover, these found poles must be stripped of pointy branch ends, and that the poles are safely set up such that they won’t fall on your face. 

If a tear or hole is made - learn to sew.

If bugs aren’t an issue, these are far easier to cary into the bush than a plastic tarp or tent.
