I''m going to embark on a hiking trip across Canada. (see The Canada Experience) i would love to use a bivy sack and hammock the entire way. Given Canada''s extreme conditions in the winter do you think this would be possible? Can i get a reliable four season bivy and hammock, or will i need a tent? If you know of any specific products that you would recommend please let me know.

Howdy!
Use your Google fu, and info comes right up. I found the four-season Outdoor Research Advanced Bivy Sack which looks pretty good.
I have used a light-weight bivytent down here in Florida, and it has worked well. Have not camped in cold far-northern weather though......
