Any kind of Bivy Kit like the other kits on Thruhiker that you folks know of? I am really new to sewing entire pieces and would like clear and precise directions for the first couple of major projects.

I did a Meteor for my first gear project. Still in use 5 years later.
Take your time.
Make your first one out of some cheap fabric.

I have no idea how light it is, but it looks interesting.
