Groundsheets, Inner Tents & Storm Poles
Groundsheets, inner tents and storm poles finish off your bivvy and keep it dry and secure. You will also find bivvy pegs and holders that keep shelters firmly in place on the bank.

A groundsheet blocks damp and cold from the ground and protects the floor from sharp stones. A heavy-duty, waterproof groundsheet is close to essential in winter, while a lighter one does the job in summer.
An inner tent or capsule turns the bivvy into a two-room setup and keeps the mozzies out. Storm poles tension the frame and stop it flexing in strong winds.
Decent pegs are often overlooked: long pegs grip in soft ground, while shorter, stronger ones suit hard banks. Always pack a few spares.
