Very similar but slightly smaller with a built in groundsheet, zips and a bit of velcro! You still end up with the proverbial 'Pikey' camp mind!!!

Thanks S54,in the desert we didn't put bivvies up because of the creatures like camel spiders and scorpions so you either slept on the back decks or lowered a bazooka plate onto 2 jerricans.
