Sleeping well in a Bivvy

Bob Hornegold · Sep 19, 2011

Last year after my Heart Operation, the Mrs. got me a Nash Indulgence Bed Chair.

All I can say is Fantastic, having had an Old Fox Supa for 20 year, the difference this has made to my Night fishing is unbelievable.

I'm sure there are other makes that are as good, but speak as you find the Indulgence is great.

Only trouble now is, when that Buzzers goes off I don't want to get out of the Bedchair

C'mon Bob, we all know you should be sleeping on a bed chair made of nails and a pilow constructed from thorn bush so as to leap at every bleep of the optonics!!!

Nice bit of multitasking there. When I go, I have a JRC Stealth Excel, very comfortable too.

Funnily enough despite putting thousands of hours in doing overnighters, in the last 20 years, until 3 years ago I never owned a bedchair or bivvy.

Oh and a bucket to rest my feet on.

Despite being of reasonable intelligence, I struggle. The geese outnumber the fish by a good twenty to one on the lake I sit beside, boy do they make a row.

I could fall asleep on the edge of a razor blade and no bite alarm manufactured so far would wake me, unless they come up with one that has elecrodes that could be attached to my balls.

Strangely,I wake up as soon as they attach the electrodes.

All I need to go with the Bedchair is a good -5 Sleeping Bag for the winter.

Any recommendations ?

This is the one I have; its two bags in one so no need to bay a lighter version for the warmer months.

Excellent piece of kit.

Thanks Peter.

It's a funny thing, but since using a mozzi-net cover on the Oval, all other discomforts have faded away!

I think it could be the best bit of kit I've ever bought.

Bob Hornegold · Oct 11, 2011

What this one !!

For those on a bit more of a budget. Try the theseus carp ultimate bedchair. £100 of the finest english pounds for a good nights sleep. Also ...hot water bottles are very underated but do a fantastic job when the temperature is dropping. Also there is a seller on ebay doing bivvy heaters with 8 cans of juice for 22£.

I fish all year round in all weathers. succesfully? perhpas not but im going anyway
