OEX Bush Pro Salamanda Bivi Tent for 1 Person, Compact and Lightweight 1 Man Tent, Ideal for Backpacking, Wild Camping and Fishing, Camping Equipment, Grey, One Size

Product Information

The fly sheet is 5000mm waterproof and the bivy tent has two ventilation windows – one behind your head, one at your feet and there is also a big side door which can be left partially unzipped. Total end-to-end length of the Geetop is 3m (although this includes a vestibule at the foot end), so this is definitely stretching towards tent territory, but who’s counting? The height is good too at 91cm.

It has an open-face style with a snap opening and stiffened peak. This is in contrast to the zipped face designs commonly found on most bivvy bags and Rab champion it as being less constricting. An integrated rain gutter manages precipitation effectively. It has a lot of stray dogs, which I anticipate having to fend off not infrequently with pepper spray in the middle of the night if I am sleeping in the Oex Bush Pro. I am sincerely hoping I never get discovered by a bear at night: that would be incredibly stressful. In that case I think having my head peeping out of the Oex Bush Pro would give me better situational awareness/readiness to use the pepper spray, and in this regard I suppose theOex Bush Pro would be safer. What is the deal with very small tents (or bivvy bags with supporting poles) vs more basic bivvi bags in regards to safety from bears and dogs, including from a situational awareness perspective?

Installation is easy and takes minimal time. The large room space makes this tent more comfortable than many others on the market. The OEX Salamanda Bivi Tent’s high-quality poles combine with aluminum pegs to create a very sturdy frame. Its sturdy frame helps to ensure stability and durability for users. This is an important feature, as it helps to ensure that the tent can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. I hadn’t realised accommodation is few and far between in some areas. In that case a tent or bivvi/tarp combination seems to be the logical choice.

Getting in and out is ‘interesting’ as is the case with all bivvy bags. Our technique is to get it all set up with the head section fully unzipped, then undo our boots and literally step out of the boots one at a time onto the top end of the bivvy. It’s then a simple matter of sitting down and sliding in. What you really get with the Geertop is flexibility. It can be set up simply as a standalone netted structure to sit in if the midges are getting at you or the additional outer waterproof camo fly can be added to keep the rain off. The Salamanda Bivi Tent from OEX is the perfect solution for a solo camper looking for an ultralight and compact tent. Weighing in at only 1.2kg, it’s easy to carry with you on your next camping trip. This one-person tent is made from high-quality materials and features a waterproof design that will keep you dry in any weather condition.

The OEX Salamanda Bivi Bag is a versatile piece of camping gear, but it truly shines in the hands of certain types of outdoor enthusiasts. The Ionosphere comes in two main parts – a double-hooped ‘undercarriage’ mesh section which forms the frame of the bivvy, and then a highly waterproof (5000mm HH) and breathable ripstop outer fly sheet which goes over the top. Both require pegging down using aluminum tent pegs which come with the Ionosphere. The fly sheet also has guy ropes to peg down to secure it. I have had it set up in severe gale conditions, and because of the low profile, there was absolutely no chance of it working loose and flying off. In Use

When does a bivvy bag turn into a one person tent, and does it matter? Our answer is “when it uses two fibre glass poles rather than one or a separate fly sheet”, but no it doesn’t matter. An ultra-compact and lightweight shelter for single campers looking to keep their kit as streamlined as possible. The tent also features two ventilation windows, which help to keep the interior of the tent cool and well-ventilated. Additionally, the frame is made with two poles and is easy to set up – no tools are required. Finally, the tent can be easily rolled up and transported in its included storage bag. With a 5000mm HH flysheet and a 7000mm HH groundsheet, the bivi bag offers excellent protection from rain and damp ground.The Hunka comes in three different colours: green, red and blue. It isn’t the lightest, but at 330g it’s still a big weight saving on any tent. It has a hood that goes nicely around the outside of your sleeping bag hood, with a simple drawstring at either side so it can be tightened around you and your bag. It has no additional venting or faffy zips and the bag tapers towards your feet. You can pair it with a tarp for added protection from the elements, if you like, but many choose not to. And that’s it. There’s not much else to say. The Hunka is a simple product with no-frills. But, on a clear summer’s night, where your aim is to feel at one with nature with your face exposed to the fresh air, then it’s absolutely the best value product on the market. For Russia I just drew a route using Google Earth and followed it. I usually carried 4-5 days' worth of food, walking around 30-35km/day. It’s certainly a distinctive product due to the high, clam-shaped opening at its head, which utilises a single arcing pole to create a high (for a bivvy bag) ceiling. This makes for easy entry and exit and gives the user plenty of head space – after all, no one wants a claustrophobic bivvying experience. The hood area can be zipped up to obtain complete coverage at night, although this does increase the chances of condensation forming inside.
