We have been using a bivy sack on backpack hunts for about a decade now. Often, we'll use our bivy under the stars. At times, we'll add a tarp or minimal shelter. And in extreme cases, we use a bivy sack inside the shell of a Hilleberg tent. On this podcast (and in the article below), you can learn how, why, and when we use bivy sacks. We also answer 10+ listener-submitted questions about the use of a bivy for backpack hunting.

Before hitting the road for Hunt Expo, Steve & Mark answer your listener questions (and go on a couple of rants) on this Monday Minute episode. A warning to the sensitive ears... Yes, there are a few F-words dropped in this one! They answer... Where can you see Exo at events? (This week AND next month!) What does the "K" in K4 stand for? Compared to a traditional pack frame, how does the K4 frame handle moose quarters? Why have Mark & Steve contradicted themselves by using all-copper Hammer bullets and cup-and-core ELD bullets? Why jump on and off the "bandwagon"? What are differences between crampon and microspikes? When do you use each one? And what are some specific models to consider? Links mentioned in this episode...
