The Bivouac is still one of my all-time favorite small playsets. I never had it as a kid, but one of my friends did. I have fond memories of playing with our Joes together. I was always using the Bivouac as a small outpost to spy on Cobra or lob mortar shells at the bad guys. When I started collecting Joes again as an adult, I picked up a couple of used Bivouacs on eBay. Since I was planning on painting one in desert colors, I figured it would be fun to include it in this project.
