What is a Bivouac?
A bivouac shelter or bivvy is any of a variety of improvised camp site or shelters that is usually of a temporary nature, used especially by soldiers or people engaged in backpacking, bike packing, scouting, or mountain climbing.
It may often refer to sleeping in the open with a bivouac sack, but it may also refer to a shelter constructed of natural materials like a structure of branches to form a frame, which is then covered with leaves, ferns, and similar material for waterproofing and duff (leaf litter) for insulation.
Modern bivouacs often involve the use of one- or two-person tents but may also be without tents or full-cover
