speaking from experience, there's not much long enough in N.H. to warrant a bivy. Bivies are fairly miserable. After owning a Wild Things Bivy for four years, I can count the number of times that I used the thing on one hand and all of them (besides trying it on my porch) were out west or in Europe. In the summer, bivies are stuff and claustrophobic. In the winter, well, I'd carry the extra 2 pounds for alittle more space to wait out storms. If you're still gung-ho for a bivy, take a look at the Wildthings Bivy. It has a full strength tie-in that allows you to sleep tied in... and it's made of a great fabric. Enjoy the whites, I miss the ice.
