A night in a busted tent! On two occasions now my tent poles have snapped in wind, both times though (see those here and here), I was only a few kilometres from my car and able to bail. But it got me wondering, what happens if I’m on a multi-night adventure, it’s getting dark, my poles snap and I’m too far away to walk out? (Assuming I don’t have anything to attempt a pole fix with me either, which I often don’t, but I feel like that needs to change and have now ordered a pole repair splint) For this attempt I used my MSR Hubba NX, a neat lil tent but one of the ones that has broken in wind for me in the past. The poles have since been fixed, so I just undid a couple of sections to recreate how it looked when it actually broke. After removing my ‘broken’ poles, I first had a go using my trekking pole to prop it up. This worked so well! I was even able to attach the mesh inner back to the outer using a couple of carabiners that I keep on my rucksack (so handy!) and I had fashioned a sturdy, functional shelter But I felt like this was too easy, and considered that many people don’t carry trekking poles anyway. So I decided to try it without, reducing the tent to a floppy, collapsed shelter, but, still a shelter none-the-less. The night was cool and breezy, dropping down to 1ºC. I had no phone reception but the 60km/ph winds that were forecast on my Garmin did not come to be. It was actually a beautiful night, spent wrapped in the tent with my head poking out, waking up to the sound of a creature walking about (a mountain goat maybe), to find that the clouds had cleared and I was under a sky full of bright, wintery stars Light rain started to fall in the morning, but it was no bother. I’d pull the tent fabric over my head to shelter, and pop out again whenever it stopped. The most inconvenient thing about it all was the tent fabric flapping around in my face while I had to be inside the tent. Condensation might have been an issue if my sleeping bag weren’t protected by my bivi bag, but as it was it just felt a bit damp in there, more of a mild discomfort than a problem All-in-all, a pretty easy first attempt at a night in a busted tent, but I think it might get a bit interesting in worse weather haha, so I’ll try this again in less forgiving conditions and report back. But experimenting with this reassures me that if my tent did indeed get busted up when I was too far out to bail, I’d be absolutely fine. HAPPY SPRING YOU GUYS! It’s finally here. Let’s hope it’s a good one :D Gear List

Thank you to these amazing artists for producing such great music! Kisses and Heartbeats – Anthony Lazaro Swan Lake Jazzed Up – Kobi Salomon Blanket of Stars – Ty Simon A Better Way (For a Rainy Day) – Martin Klem On a chilly evening in July, I headed out to the mountains with Frank to try out another survival shelter – this time it was the Lifesystems 2. I had just my day hiking stuff, so no sleeping bag etc, to see how I’d do with this shelter had I become lost or injured and had to unexpectedly spend a night in the hills Having never had it out before, I was surprised how small it was, especially for a 2-person shelter. However, we both fit in ok squished up (although I have to say, if Frank were bigger and had his own rucksack, this would have been quite a challenge haha!) However, due to the small size and sturdy construction, this thing held in an unbelievable amount of heat. I tested the inside/outside temperatures twice, and both times got a difference of 6 to 7°C, which I think is the biggest temperature difference I’ve ever recorded so far This is a well-made shelter, which is not prone to ripping or tearing unlike the last survival shelter I tried, but it remains light enough to chuck in a day bag at 345g. Frank and I got to try it out in the rain, got eaten alive by midges and had a pretty cosy (ok, cramped) night in this lil thing. Condensation will always be an issue of course, so you’ll still need waterproofs, and no sleep was had due to the uncomfortable conditions, but it kept me perfectly warm with no sleeping bag (very rare for a coldy like me!) and could have saved my life in an actual emergency There’s a window, an air vent, reflective strips, and 2 lil bum-seat areas so that you don’t have to park your rear directly onto wet ground (yay). The bright orange colour is great for attracting attention from bugs mountain rescue. It’s also real simple, not requiring any hanging-from-trees or creating ridgelines; you simply put it over your head and wait out the weather. I imagine it would also be handy for sandwich stops on wet days. It’s deffo my new fav shelter to carry in my day hiking bag I was pretty close to my car for this in case it went wrong – not a good idea to do silly stuff in the mountains without a solid back up plan :) Gear List

9 Hours in a Survival Shelter.. this was grim! But a real eye-opener It was a sopping wet, rainy day in February and thought I’d see what it would be like to find myself lost in the wild and having to spend an unexpected night out, using only what was in my day-hiking rucksack. For this scenario, I had my usual day hiking bits & bobs.. food, stove, head torch, something to sit on, my down puffy, waterproof pack liner, med kit, hand warmers and an emergency shelter This time my shelter was a ‘Life Tent’ – a tiny lil thing, not much bigger than a drinks can and weighing around 300g. Something that I would chuck into a day pack, probably never think about again and *hopefully* never have to actually use. But for this scenario I did have to use it, so I found a spot between 2 trees where I would be able to string it up and got to work Click on 'read more' at the bottom of this blog post for the rest of the write-up..

Ahh, 16 hours in a bivi bag in wind and rain. I imagined that I had lost my tent off a cliff in a gale and had to survive the night in the mountains without it. How would that go, making do with just my emergency lightweight bivi bag for a shelter? I always have one in my rucksack, but usually I’m using it just to protect my sleeping bag from condensation in the tent. With no tent, I intended to find out why it’s so important to carry one of these I expected this to be an utterly grim experience, but actually, it was pretty wonderful. I was fortunate enough to start out in dry conditions with only the wind to contend with, and picked a sweet lil nook among the rocks, where I’d be able to rest propped up and comfortable. I popped up for a quick look at the sunset (one of the most beautiful I’ve seen), and got myself settled into the bag. Rucksack next to me, using the waterproof liner as my storage compartment The rain came and I simply pulled the big rain hood over my head and waited it out. No bother. It felt strange to feel so cosy and warm while laying out in that weather, with the wind booming through the mountains like a freight train And then the wind changed direction and started hitting me head-on.. no longer sheltered by my little nook, it was quite amusing, watching all the random debris of broken grass and twigs flying around in the air As I dozed, sometimes the clouds would part, and I would stir and find myself under a sky of bright, sparkly stars. The wind eased off after midnight, and I slept deeply for 7 hours, waking up to morning rain. Well rested and still warm and dry, the only dislike was having cold hands in the morning. Oh and trying to pack it up in the rain. My sleeping bag was slightly wet on the outside, but not enough to penetrate, and I had survived a bad weather winter night on the mountain, safe and well. It’s nice to know I have this option if SHTF. And it reminds me why I always carry a bivi bag of some kind – this one is 285g that could save my life GEAR LIST
