I went up to some local Crags as another Northern Light show was expected,
Sadly no Lights were seen, but I had a greatly enjoyed Tarp and Bivy camp.

I like that the tarp has side tie outs to expand the interior. My flat tarp doesn't have them so I'm limited on pitches. Great views out there.

Great views to the Cheviot. I have a Rab bivvy bag. No condensation as yet. Would like a side zipper though, even if only half way.

Hi and thanks for watching, it’s a great spot for sure, The Alpkit is next to useless for me unless it’s a warm night just to wet, I did fancy a Ruben’s one but more money on a chance ! It might be I sleep hot with gear on and the other fabrics can not release the moisture like gore tex, I will look at the Rab but my next one has to have a zip as the hooped one has spoiled me ! Cheers

Belta as always, I feel if we have choices or options to packing we end up going round in circles, cutting weight by using alternative or sometimes taking away the comfort element, it's good to see the Challenges being undertaken, hard choices.

Andrew Skurka calls it " stupid light " means worth weight penalty for goretex and a dry night . Agree with you

You have some stunning crags over that side Adrian, so much choice with cracking views all around. Unfortunately with good weather those pesky midge are out and about. Those Alpkit bivis are great but why don’t they stick a zip in them 😂 it would make life so much easier . Another lovely camp mate atb Dave ⛺️👍

Hi Dave, thanks for watching, not a worry back to the army one as breaths better, yes we have some crags on our side, you should visit, but time holds us back Cheers Adrian

@kennethcarter5720 2 ай бұрын

Alpkit can put a zip in for you but was not cost effective for me. It was cheaper getting the Robens mountain bivvy. Side zipper and bug netting 450 grams. But if raining tar needed 🔥

@northumberlandmountainhopper 2 ай бұрын

Hi and thanks for watching, I was tempted to try that one but all these other tarps just don’t seem to breath like the army ones, do like the style of that bivy Cheers

Tarp purists aren’t critiquing your tarp set-up. tarp purists know there is no ‘right’ tarp set-up. Each is a work of art, a tailor-made suit, ephemeral.

Cool video as always Adrian, the scenery is just stunning, the British army bivvy bag ,doesn't cause any condensation, my mates wife unpicked the centre seam for the length of the zip, and used the picked saems to sew the zip on, so no fabric lost,or even cut, and a cracking centre zip, makes it so much bloody easier lol, thanks for the mention, always chilled videos with you mate, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig

@northumberlandmountainhopper 2 ай бұрын

Hi and thanks for watching,glad you enjoyed the video, I will have to look at it, my worry would be water through the zip and stitching as it would not be taped, but I tell you after a few weeks with the hooped one I could hardly get in and out, then you have to shuffle like a slug to get back in position !! Cheers Adrian
