bivouac techniques

Bivouac techniques involve setting up temporary shelter in the outdoors, typically using minimal gear for safety and protection from elements. Common methods include using a bivouac sack or tarp, or building a natural shelter like a debris hut or rock overhang. Key principles involve choosing a safe, dry location, insulating yourself from the ground with a pad or leaves, and protecting against wind, rain, and cold. Properly securing your shelter, checking for hazards, and ensuring ventilation are essential. These techniques enable quick, effective solutions when in remote environments, balancing minimal weight with maximum protection.
