Stealth Bivi Bluebells Camp! | Solo Wild Camping UK | Alpkit Hunka XL | Trekology Aluft Deluxe5/4/2021 I had a go at stealth bivi camping in the bluebell woods and remained undetected despite this area not being as quiet as I would usually go for. This was my first time using a bivi bag and I totally loved it! It was so nice sleeping under the stars in the fresh air 😊 I also took my cheapo 3x3 tarp in case of rain, but as it didn’t rain, I just used it to cover my rucksack and belongings while I slept. thank you so much for 10k subs! I never in a million years thought this channel would grow so fast and am so grateful for your support 😊 Claire 🌿🐻 Always *Leave No Trace* Bluebells are protected - keep to bare patches where they aren't growing :) Bluebells Bivi Camp Gear List

I had a great time trying out a local hill camp using my tarp. I absolutely loved sleeping under the stars and moon and the lovely fresh air, and learned the importance of a nice flat pitch and not jabbing stuff with sharp sticks, haha. GEAR LIST

It can also reduce stress levels; by exposing your body to cold in a controlled way, you may find that your stress response to everyday life stressors is reduced. I always have a lovely sense of wellbeing for a good couple of days after a cold swim. Just remember to keep it short, and listen to your body. COLD WATER SAFETY
Cold water can be dangerous if it isn't respected. Here's some cold-water safety; - Don't go alone - Never jump in - ease yourself in slowly, to avoid cold water shock. If you shock your body, you will involuntarily gasp due to the cold, which can cause you to inhale water (drown) - It will take your breath away - control your breathing and don't allow yourself to hyperventilate - Stay within your depth and always avoid fast moving water and strong currents - Wear water shoes to protect your feet - Don't stay in long - always come out before you start shivering. Hyperthermia only usually becomes a risk after 30 minutes, but listen to your body - Before getting in, make sure you can easily get out - Stay close to the edge while you check that your body can handle the drop in temperature and that you can maintain normal use of your limbs - If it doesn't feel right, get out - Bear in mind that your body temperature will continue to drop for a while after you get out of the water - this is called 'after drop' and is the result of the cooled blood in your extremities returning to your core - Go in warm, and have a towel, lots of warm clothes and a warm drink ready for when you get out - Don't drive until your temperature has returned to normal - Never go straight from cold water into a hot shower - let your body temperature return to normal first - Don't do a cold-water immersion if you have heart or other health conditions that may make it especially dangerous - It is always best to start wild swimming in the summer months, and continue regularly into the colder months to allow your body to gradually acclimatize to colder and colder water And then of course all the normal wild swimming safety applies too - always do your own research and get the relevant advice first - I'm not an expert :) For an idea of how different water temperatures feel, check out https://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.co.... For comparison, an indoor heated pool will vary between 26-31°C. Anything below 12°C will feel freezing cold. GEAR

Lost In The Woods Overnight With Only A Day Bag | Building A Natural Shelter4/13/2021 I spent a night in the woods at 3°C with only my day bag, to live out a scenario of becoming lost on a day hike. I managed without a tent, sleeping bag or sleeping mat by attempting to build a natural shelter using sticks, leaves, moss and bark. Also, by creating a small fire, saving my food for late at night and staying active when I got cold. Although it wasn’t the most comfortable night, I managed a bit of sleep and woke safe and well the next morning, ready to take on the day. It goes without saying of course, but never put yourself in a survival situation unless you have a solid exit plan if things go wrong. This ‘lost in the woods’ scenario is just that – a scenario. In reality I know the area well, was not actually lost and was not far from safety in case I needed to bail. GEAR LIST

I'll try and do a longer video on cold water swimming when I have more time. Cold water has lots of health benefits, such as boosting the immune system, mood, energy levels, metabolism, circulation and mental fortitude. COLD WATER SAFETY
Cold water has many health benefits, but can be dangerous if it isn't respected. Here's some cold water safety;
Starting a fire in damp conditions is no easy task! But with the right natural materials, some patience (and a dose of luck haha), it can certainly be done. Plus it’s really rewarding too! This was the first time I've tried starting a fire this way with damp materials, so I was really chuffed when it took :D There were 2 attempts prior to this one where the fire died shortly after I'd transferred it to the Bushbox, it's a reallllly fine line between feeding it and smothering it especially when things are a bit damp. This is a 5 minute video but in reality it took me over 2 hours to get that cup of coffee.. if at first you don't succeed and all that! GEAR LIST
