Ahh, my annual hammock offering :) It was a dry afternoon in early May with no rain forecast so I decided to pitch my tarp in a plough point next to my hammock, rather than above it, as I so love to lay and swing and look at the trees above. I had my sleeping bag in a bivi bag just in case of rain (that would have been interesting) but it stayed nice and dry It had recently been St George’s Day and VE day so I bought a nice English picnic for this one! Complete with cream teas, bunting and fairy lights. And pinot. Only 2 lil pinots but wow, what a lightweight I am these days. Shocking Gear list

Cherubinos Aria Voi che sapete - Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra Musetta’s Aria Quando me’n vo’ La Boheme - Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra The Spectrum Boys – Nim Sadot Eine Kleine Nachtmusik – Remix - Ziso All music used under license This was such fun! I’d decided to go out for a stealth with my lovely, second-hand British Military Bivi. Then I decided to get myself a 24hr ration pack to go with it. And then I thought, why not head out to an area fairly near an army base to see if I could go 24hrs undetected. So it kinda turned into this army-themed thing I settled down half a km from the base in public woodland, with it just in view through the trees. I was a sensible distance away so that aspect of my endeavour was kind of a non-issue, but the woods on this warm April day were absolutely teeming with people and dogs So, I would be hoping to go unnoticed by using my low-profile, camo shelter, being quiet, staying low and not moving around too much I really loved this one, getting to test out my stealth skills (I do love to hide!), munching my way through my first ration pack (although there was way too much for me to eat within 24hrs in there), and being entertained by the lovely doggos running about This was a simple night out. Under the trees. Under the moon. Listening to the birds and the Muntjac. I didn’t even bring my usual night-time filming lights, only using the red light on my head torch for this one, in the hopes that I wouldn’t be seen. I had a nice sleep, feeling stealthy and hidden and kept everything crossed that the morning doggos wouldn’t decide to alert their owners to my presence GEAR LIST

💦 In cold water, don’t jump in when unacclimatised (risk of cold shock & potential drowning), work on your tolerance gradually, get a good feel for how your body responds to it and don’t underestimate the after-drop – your body temperature will likely continue to drop for a period of time even after you exit the water and get dressed. Not accounting for this may result in hypothermia post-swim, which, even if mild can cause confusion.. not ideal out in the middle of nowhere ⚠️ It’s good practice to be aware of any bodies of water upstream that could potentially flood into the river that you’re crossing, or swimming in, or camping near. We all know and expect that natural lakes can burst their banks and flood after heavy rain. But certain man-made reservoirs and dams can be particularly risky as the rivers below them cannot be expected to behave in such predictable ways. This river crossing above the gorge for example can be unexpectedly flooded with no warning, even when there has not been heavy rain in recent days. With this type of balance tip dam upstream, unless you’ve actually been to check out the water levels up at the reservoirs, there’s no knowing if or when the water level might reach its tipping point and suddenly be released, and so crossing or entering the river at all is best avoided. Always check your map to see what might be lurking upstream That being said, adventuring and life in general is never risk free. So be aware, be prepared, make sensible-ish decisions and have fun A few days alone in the Arans! This trip didn’t go to plan at all but I got my first dip of the year, found a beautiful waterfall pool, enjoyed hiking in heat, came across a tree that had exploded, I guess from lightning. I even saw a lizard, which I didn’t even know we had in the UK until I looked it up afterward. And the trip ended a day earlier than I'd planned, but in the most unexpected and breathtaking fashion.

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 My first attempt at a proper stealthy hammock camp! I looove hammock camping (I find it so comfy!) but I don’t do it often as I always feel so obvious and visible hanging above the ground. So for this camp I decided to stealth it up using 3 panels of camo netting. I used the hammock with no bug net, just a head bug net to wear while sleeping. I went tarpless for this one as no rain was forecast, although I did have a ground sheet that I could chuck over myself if things became unexpectedly wet. I’m glad it didn’t rain though as this might have been a bit of a chaotic arrangement! I had such a nice night in the woods - my first mild night out this year, playing suduko, spotting muntjac, eating spagbol, watching a spider eat an unfortunate woodlouse, making friends with a moth and just chilling in my comfy lil nook. In the morning there were loads of dog walkers on the nearby paths, so I got to test out my stealthiness and managed to go completely unseen Gear List

My camp was totally hidden from view by bushy heather to my right and a rocky rise to my left, and I spent the evening watching Geese Friends going back and forth between adjacent lakes, beating each other up and bobbing around on the water. The stars sparkled above me and I fell asleep before midnight (unlike me) and woke early to a pink moon rising over rocky crags to the south.

(Dyneema Composite Fabric) Just 485g.. kinda crazy! I was hoping to find something a bit stealthier, maybe a camo DCF tent, but I wasn’t able to find anything in those kinda colours. So, I decided to go with the Durston X-mid, as I’ve been very impressed with the heavier non-pro version I really liked this tent but more importantly, my floppy joints will really enjoy the weight of it. I’m hoping to do some longer trips soon now that spring is (apparently) here and providing the weather will (please) warm up enough for me to carry a lighter sleeping bag, I’ll be feeling light as a feather :D ..pure joy after hauling 18kg on my back all winter Click on 'read more' at the bottom of this blog post to continue reading..

A lovely lil stealth camp! I really loved using the brown camo netting before to blend in with the ground, so I thought I'd try with green this time to try to blend in above ground with the summer foliage There were paths on both sides, and I managed to not be seen, even when someone strayed off the path and wandered right in front of my camp, although that did feel a bit close for comfort haha This was a hot day, 28°C and there was also a little light rain, which sounded so lovely although it didn't even seem to breach the tree canopy. Thunderstorms were forecast, and I was excited to experience a storm under a tarp, but typically they didn't start until I was driving home I met an angry bug on this camp! He fell out of a tree, seemed kinda shell-shocked, and when he started getting active he launched a piece of wood and pumped himself up to fight. He was big and a bit fluffy. I wasn't sure what he was so had to look it up.. apparently he's a Cockchafer. Which I found highly amusing, had the giggles that day haha! You can also call him a Doddlebug, which sounds much cuter I think. Gear List
