Yes, but if I go the bivy route I want to take something that will be as comfortable as possible so I'll look for something a bit more breathable than the emergency medical bivy. I'm tending towards taking the sleeping bag, bivy and cooking gear and leaving the tent and sleeping pad at home.

and leaving ... sleeping pad at home
Now I'm confused. I'm more comfortable on a sleeping pad...
