Trying out a new system: WM UltraLight 20 deg. bag on a Thermarest NeoAir pad inside a MLD UltrLight bivy. While the bivy holds the bag and pad in place, more or less, the whole system feels a bit slippery – if you know what I mean. I've heard of using seam sealer on tent floors to prevent slippage. Has anyone used it on a bivy "floor?" How about on top of a NeoAir? How have others dealt with this issue? Thanks.

I have silnylon bivy. Put area of mineral spirits:silicone caulk in the middle where my mattress goes. Doesn't slip anymore.

If your bivy floor is urethane, probably want to use polyurethane instead, like McNett Seam Seal or Shoo Goo.
