I bought a TFG X shell bivvy for short sessions earlier this year, its easy to erect and just the job - however...
It is a 'pram' style frame each pole being made up of several connecting sections. Again, no problem there - until it is time to go. The joints are so hard to undo it takes me a lot of time (and strength) to unship them. After my last session my son and I had a right ol' tug-of-war to release them and I doubt I could have done it alone.
So, any tips? would treating the joints with candle wax help?
Any advice gratefully received
