Thanks to all for comments in response to my VBL questions.
Next question – if a VBL can take care of the condensation problems, might using a VBL address the main problem of bivies? Has anyone tried VBL in a bivy? At range of temperatures? How'd it go? If using a VBL, could one get away with a non-breathable bivy? Or just throw a sheet of polycryo over a bug bivy? (I'm thinking of this in combo with a microtarp to cover head and shoulders.)
I have a feeling that answer may come back to an adequately sized tarp for at least some of the potential circumstances, but maybe the balance shifts in some others?
THanks for your thoughts!
Best,
Bill
