Trying a bit of mesh tent & tarp camping! I decided to use just the mesh inner from my claustrophobic & fairly awkward lil Snugpak Ionosphere for this, leaving the outer fly at home and instead pairing it with a lightweight tarp overhead This turned out to be a perfect combination :D the mesh tent kept the hoards of spiders off me while I slept, so I didn’t need to use a head bug net for a change. And the open tarp formation above, propped up with my trekking poles and sticks, allowed me to see all around me and really feel like I was outside, while still being protected from any rain I had such a beautiful autumn night out! I cooked the most delicious chicken and chorizo baps, slept soundly in the fresh woodland air, and found an amazing skull (which I thought was a badger, but according to my very knowledgeable viewers, is actually a fox!). Boris the Fox has now joined the Dead Gang in my living room, along with my deer, sheep and mountain goat skulls. Very pleased to add a fox to the collection. He has some mean ol’ teeth! This was one of my favourite set-ups, being so open but protected. I’m not sure that it would hold up well in wind, but it was great for a sheltered woodland camp. Gear List

Isn’t it the cutest! This was super simple to set up - just a case of pegging in the back centre point and then lifting the front with the sticks, tensioning with a guy rope and pegging down the front corners I then got to work cooking a beef curry from scratch, made with sirloin steak, and had a lovely sleep in among the trees, waking to light rain showers pitter-pattering on the tarp I even caught some sweet fallow deer on one of my trail cams too! This is a lovely, simple configuration that provides great coverage, and is nice and sheltered due to the back being tapered down to the ground. The spare flappage at the back gets folded under, creating a covered floor area at the rear. You could also hang the front from a ridgeline instead of using sticks. One of my new favs!

Here's a quick how-to for this config..
I took my DCF tent out for a trial run in the rain and did some chaotic but delicious cooking! It was late April and plenty of rain was forecast, so I took myself out to the woods to have a soggy night out in the Xmid Pro1, just to check it was all sound really before taking it on a longer adventure As it got dark, I started cooking my tea – chicken tikka masala baps. You’d think this would be quite simple really, but I somehow managed to smoke myself out. The food was absolutely delicious though! One of my favourite woodland meals so far (I know I always say that) As I settled down to eat my creation, rain started to fall, just lightly. But it continued all through the night, getting heavier and giving the woods a good drenching. I’d actually never seen these woods so full of water, there are no streams here usually but, on this morning, they had popped up all over the place The tent did very well, a very small amount of manageable condensation but no leaks or other water-related dramas to report on, so I feel confident in taking this out for multi-day trips. I also tried a new bivi bag, this is the Mountain Equipment Ion.. can’t report on how well it works yet, but as soon as I’ve given it a good ol’ WildBeare Torture Test I’ll let you know Gear List

It was time to dust of my old friend – the Giant Leaky Umbrella This time for a stealth camp. I just love the dome-like space under this umbrella, and thought it would make a perfect frame to build a stealth den for the night There was some rain and wind forecast for the next morning, so my first job was to anchor it down as securely as I could, and make it waterproof (gotta love an umbrella that isn’t actually waterproof!) Being an umbrella, it is of course the prefect shape to get whipped away by a gust of wind, so I guyed it down from all of my modded attachment points, and from the middle point at the back. I then clipped my real light, DCF tarp over the top of it to make it waterproof. Next came the camo netting, followed by leaves and sticks, until my lil den just looked like a big pile of woodland stuff. From above, it was nearly invisible, however from the ground you could still make out the dome-like structure. I messed up a bit, because by building the den with the doorway facing away from the wind, I had unwittingly set it up with the doorway instead facing a small path, pretty close by that I didn’t know was there. So, I hoped for the best that no one would come along I got my lil nook all set up inside and settled down to make my most delicious camping meal yet. I cooked lamb chops in garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, and then fried up some pre-cooked rice in the meat juices. A lil weevil friend walked around the rim of my pot over and over and over, and I snuggled down for a lovely sleep in the woods I woke to gusts of wind, followed by the pitter-patter of rain on my shelter. It felt real cosy, and as I sat and had my breakfast, the weather really came in, with a random and short-lived mini rain storm. My lil shelter held fast in some pretty strong gusts of wind and was a lovely way to spend a night in the woods Gear List

Thank you to these amazing artists for producing such great music.. Oliver Michael – Ever Since The Hipcat Swagger – Ritchie Everett Mum Child – Aurora Light Patterns - Tethers All from Epidemic Sound, Artlist and Uppbeat with license Ahh a lovely fully enclosed tarp configuration. This one is called the Pyramid. This is a super-simple set up, although I had some trouble initially, as I found that my trekking pole wasn’t quite long enough to erect it, leaving me with a floppy tarp (never a good thing). This pole claims to be 132cm, but I measure it as 125cm fully extended, and 5cm of that is the spike, which just sinks into this kind of ground. So, I decided instead to suspend it from a ridge line, strung between the adjacent trees. This worked really well, and had the added bonus of no pole getting in the way I thought this arrangement looked so pretty in the fading light, and decided to name her Primrose – Primrose the Pyramid. I found that Primrose’s flaps were quite annoying. This formation would be amazing in bad weather, great protection from the elements, but on a dry evening getting in and out, I just kept getting caught up in the flaps I got the fire going and cooked up some delicious sausage and onion baps before settling down for a lovely sleep in the woods I woke to a chorus of birds, a tawny owl and crows, and sat in the doorway of the tarp, wondering if I could modify it somehow. I played around lifting one side and created a new, much more open configuration, and sat to have breakfast with woodland views. I just love how versatile tarps are! Gear List

Thank you to these amazing artists for producing such great music.. Waterfalls – Aves The Street Beat – Ikoliks Hebanera Carmen – Kashido Plan to Win – Dan Phillipson The Felt – Landmark Where We Belong – Helmet Schenker All from Artlist, Bensound and Epidemic Sound A Fully Enclosed Tarp Set-Up! One of the coolest configurations that I’ve tried so far - so simple, yet practical and versatile too I used my 3.5x3.5m multicam tarp for this, and attached it to a tree, although you could also use a ridgeline. Arranged in this fashion, using a few pegs and cordage, this fully-enclosed set-up provides 3 walls, a full-coverage floor, a door and complete rain protection. I was also able to temporarily open up one side so that I could do some sheltered fire-cooking in the rain (sirloin steak on my firebox – so good!) The headroom is insane in this, loads of space inside too, I think it’s just amazing – a new fav of mine. Not a drop of water came in, despite it raining most of the night. I have no idea how this would hold up in wind, though, as it was nice and still in the woods Thank you to Andreas Müller Outdoors for sharing this config with us on YouTube back in 2022 :D I learned this from you and I’m very grateful. Love how we all share out knowledge in the outdoor community

Amos Ever Hadani – Convolution Gvidon – Paradise Beach Ikoliks – Daydream Muted – Under a Blanket All from Artlist with license ​ A lil camp using superlight gear; the 'Big 3' tent, sleeping bag and mat all coming in at under 1.5kg! Which is the lightest I've ever tried, but, the mat broke as soon as I lay on it Here's what I used and a brief summary of my thoughts on these 3 items: 🏕 TENT Lanshan Pro 1 690g Great in good weather. My pole was stuck in the collapsed position so I had to use a stick instead, but this actually worked just fine. Not sure what I would do in this situation in the mountains with no sticks around. Not so good in wet weather. Seam sealing can be tricky, sags a lot when wet, unforgiving of a bad pitch and human error 🏕 BAG Sea To Summit Spark II 490g Love it so far! Kept me lovely and warm in 12/13°C. Think this might be perfect for my warm weather multi-night trips. Soo tiny and compact when compressed 🏕 MAT Thermarest Neoair Uberlight 250g Broke internally at the head end as soon as I put weight on it. Wouldn't trust it at all out in the wild, or anywhere actually. In my opinion, not worth the 120g weight saving on the Xlite - I sent it back for a refund |
