Doug Dobkowski's review
Those emergency bivies are pretty worthless. I refer to this contraption as a "Bothy Bag." It's basically an instant tent. They make them in different sizes, but the idea is you open it up and have people sit in it and it creates a micro climate. The thing blocks out the elements and warms up real fast. Imagine being high up on Washington in full conditions and a member of your group goes down. You will want one of these. Sorry for the nightmare fuel.
