Tarp And Bivy Camp In a Northumberland Forest

Рет қаралды 8,133

After lasts weeks Bivy with excessive condensation, I returned and this time used a full Tarp to prove the Hunka can handle a Bivy with minimal or no condensation,
I tried a new area of the Forest by a lough, the sunset failed due to rain coming in but I enjoyed the sunrise.

What a great camp. Wonderfully varied conditions and light - with the golden morning light well worth the rain and wind overnight.

Setup bivi and tarp is super 😜✌️🍀🔥 … I always make a little wood bed with 5 cm thick woodsticks under my thermo mat so the rain water can run under my sleep set without touching my bivi 😜✌️🍀 … so ca 10 cm high this wood stick bed under

Hi Adrian, pleased you had no condensation issues to spoil this trip. I won't say you "solved" the problem because I think the vagaries of condensation are something, unfortunately, that we all have to simply live with; if certain circumstances come together it's just going to happen regardless. Sod's Law and all that! Absolutely beautiful colours at the end of your video. I love that rich, warm golden hue the sun creates at this time of year when it shines upon the autumnal vegetation and fauna. Cracking stuff. Take care.

Hi and thanks, yes you are right, given those conditions again the damp would have been under the tarp as the rain was, my it was windy and blowing rain through the night, Hopefully the army bivy may be a better bet for the colder damp weather it’s just heavier. Shame the rain came it at sunset time, but it was a cracker in the morning,but I will return for a sunset,Cheers

Hey Adrian my fellow bivy enthusiast. Love your bivy camps buddy. I also have an army one (not camo) and its lasted me 15 years + so far. The only damage is that the pull cord around the hood has gone, other than that it looks brand new and is still 100% waterproof. Its kind of good to wild camp around paths that are closed off as other people would be put off travelling up there but yes very ridiculous stuff to walk over. Thats really was a great camp spot next to that lake. Minimalist and perfect as always. Great work Adrian 👍👌👊

Hi Gez and thanks, yes a bivy works, up that area there is no easy pitch for a tent it’s all either rough boggy or under the trees which in a lot of cases is still with risk. Can’t wait to try the new bivy as it’s so big ! Hunka one will be the warm weather one as less chance of the condensation I had on the last one !!!! Cheers Adrian

Hi Jimmy, thought you would like that location, fair trek but worth it, def a bivy spot as it’s so boggy and the flat bits appear to be under the trees which still look dodgy. I just got packed, and dog walkers appeared at 8.30 prob from the farm, so I will go a bit further off the track next time. Cheers Adrian

All the best Simon 😊🙏🏼👍

@northumberlandmountainhopper Жыл бұрын

Hi Simon, yes faith restored in Hunka ! Can’t wait to try the army bag, it’s also much bigger for the winter weight sleeping bag, the Hunka may end up my summer bivy, Looks like a wet weekend, trouble is if it’s raining on the walk in, a tent is better as you need to be out of wet clothes to get in a bivy, perhaps get changed under a tarp, Cheers Adrian

Goretex though heavier and expensive will be more reliable and breathable than silnylon . Every camp has a different humidity . Being too warm inside the bivvy doesn't help. . Nor does any wet gear
