Thanks for the rundown, from the posts so far, I'm leaning toward the bivy myself, while stowing it between uses isn't an issue with me, and I,ve pretty much got the camo issue covered (netting, poncho, & liner), I'm getting the impression that the bivy is designed for repeated use, while the "LandShark" is more of a "use it in an emergency, then replace it" item. Anybody out there seen them side by side???
