So nice of you to fund raise for the Legion! What a camping experience..the ground is like a wet sponge. It really gets windy. It’s all wide and open exposed to the elements. You made it through the night without any strange occurrences..only a moist bivvy and the tarp seams held up. Good timing on leaving Take care ❤️🇨🇦🌧️

Nice review. There is a flames creed Tyvek sleeping bag cover that would have been good to review that night. From the other reviews I read it breaths relatively well and there is very little condensation. I have a MLD Patrol tarp clone from the same company and it has performed good. However, to use it in storms with a very low pitch is highly uncomfortable (like the Trailstar). However, the Trailstar design is supposed to "shine" in extreme windy stormy weather but obviously, as your video shows, in a very uncomfortable way.

Welcome to the world of getting yourself into a bivi with no Zip 😂

U picked the best weather for first time.bivy and tarp camp ha i didnt no montane did a smock similar to the buffalo shirt, ive got thr buffalo shirt , really warm smock abit overkill for our weather unless its below the minus , hopefully u be back out in the tarp soon but better weather ha 👍👍

I once put a survival blanket over my down quilt as I was worried about condensation from the tent & could not believe how quickly the quilt got damp. That has put me off putting anything over my sleep system. Some people swear by those bivy bags though. 🤷‍♀. think i might give the tarp a try...in the middle of summer

Came across your channel while scrolling well got to say your brave am watching you at min on my TV. Was thinking American warewolf. Then you said it yourself. Thank you for keeping myself and my daughter scared for you. But excellent videos. Stay safe. Watch out for escaped prisoners. Been camping once I swear never agsin . but keep doing what you love 👍Angie

Great camp as always mate! Hat off to you for sleeping in the cold with no door 😅

For high wind conditions, if you have the room, extend the guylines that are taking the wind load to their maximum so the tensioners are no longer a factor. (Provided the pegs hold :) )

This good bro puts out some of the best solo woods camp vids on youtube!! NO bullshit drama about "NEVER BEEN SO SCARED IN MY LIFE" garbage that the bulk of these attention whore fools that are posting woods camp vids here on youtube!! Thanks for keepin it real brother!!

Nice. I'm starting to get into tarp & bivy camping. Giving a shot at a Borah 7x9 tarp & ultralight bivy arriving in about a month.

This is not a tarp,its a flysheet, thanks for promoting the legion

Bit of an artform to setting up the Trailstar but once you get used to it, it goes up in no time. I use mine year round. That front beak looked very loose mind.

I received my Tarp from ALX too. Just wonder why they want the black reenforced patches on the outside. Or the line locks are in the wrong side. Is this on your Tarp too?

Some good info there mate. Been thinking about this type of tarp....... Surprised at the level of condensation in the bivy bag.....maybe try another type and see if its better? Army surplus are decently priced.

Very surprising at how damp the quilt was after only an hour. Ive never had an issue like this, maybe the OEX isnt a good bivi? Get the Army Gore tex one instead 👍

The wind sound is terrifying I hope it felt better than it sounded.

That was quick

Not sure if you are still using Ali TS Copy. Replace the tension guy lines and its bombproof.

Well done for giving this a bash on a cold wet night. This is something I have tried and intend to try again. But as yet I don't quite 'get it', damp, draughty, dirty, kit blowing away, crawly. OK, you get that, in the air, nature feeling, and I will try it again. But right now, despite your great video, compared to a light, dry tent, it looks grim.

Delta pegs for the load bearing guy lines, goretex bivvy bag for breatheability/minimisation of condensation inside; is your quilt down (Ice flame, or flames creed?) or synthetic? 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

Great video honest and informative thank you for being uncomfortable for out entertainment 😂

With your quilt generally, do you still bother with the pad straps, or just pop your feet in the end and lay it over you ?? Or do you clip it together to make a bag.

Interesting review, is this tarp much bigger inside than say using just the fly of the Lanshan 1+ ????

Tarps are my usual..tents are fir extreme weather

Real world testing of tarp and bivvy not a silly unboxing. I use taut line hitches on my guys instead of line locks and have always got on fine - one less mechanical thing to go wrong. That bivvy was very disappointing and unfit for purpose. Can you return it? I have a Dutch army "Goretex" (probably not) bivvy. Heavy and bulky as all hell but bombproof and no condensation.

When we going to do a tarp and bivy camp
