I've used a tent a couple time but never liked it,been doing the bivy thing for years and have yet to have a problem. I'm not a gear head or worried about counting oz when it comes to gear. Used this system in several different states with no problem and the k.i.s.s approach will always be evident no matter what you do. The skill set and the way you approach the situation is more of a factor than lbs. The ability to traverse different terrains at different types of the year warrant what i pack and how i go about things.2lbs is too much for a bivy, especially one that doesn't even have bug netting. May not be a concern where you are, but it matters in a lot of places. Plenty of tents on the market that are lighter than that bivy sack, with more room, more comfort. I spent way too much time in those bivy bags in the Marines. You can have those things. The KISS approach doesn't apply any more to that bivy than it does to a dialed in tent setup. I guarantee the tent will be more comfortable, especially if you are trying to ride out a storm, and you want your gear covered as well.
