Trip JouRNAL

With my small tarp and a bivi bag, I wombled my way up to a beautiful mountain lake and made up a stealthy, low-profile lil nook to spend the night. My camp was totally hidden from view by bushy heather to my right and a rocky rise to my left

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 in the south. It was chilly, around 5°C so I went back to sleep a while before enjoying a relaxed breakfast in the early spring sunshine

My Thoughts

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

My THoughts

My first DCF tent! (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

This single skin tent is so easy to pitch – just peg out the 4 corners, insert the trekking poles and you’re good to go. Optional guy lines can be attached if it’s windy, but are not necessary to erect the tent. You can buy this tent with either a silnylon floor, or a DCF floor. I opted for silnylon, as I’ve previously put a load of holes in my DCF tarp by using it as a ground sheet. DCF may be strong, but it has no ‘give’ in it and in my experience, it punctures easily. The silnylon floor adds 45g to the tent (440g with the DCF floor or 485g with the silnylon floor)

I really enjoyed how the tent is kinda transparent – I could see and feel the sun shining through, see the rain drops sliding down the fabric of the tent and the outlines of the surrounding hills and mountains. It appears to be well made, with heat-sealed seams (no seam sealing required, hurray!) and I’m confident in the construction of it, having previously given the non-pro version a bad weather testing, which is the same shape and uses the same ‘principles of geometry’. There are two large pockets inside. The 2 vestibules are huge, the head room I awesome and it just feels like a nice place to hang out.

Drawbacks so far that I’ve noticed – the magnetic door closures don’t hold the doors open in wind. I had this same issue on the non-pro version, the magnets just aren’t strong enough to compete with gusty wind. Also, it’s bright in there.. while I enjoyed the see-through aspect, this could be problematic for sleeping – you’ll need a good eye mask. The floor is real thin, but this is to be expected with a super lightweight tent. I’m using it with its dedicated ground sheet for an extra layer of protection. I couldn’t see anywhere to hang a light from, but it was no issue to place my light into one of the interior pockets, or hang it from the wrist strap of one of my trekking poles. As with all DCF tents, it has a screwed-up-carrier-bag appearance, but I didn’t find it to be particularly noisy (except when the open doors come undone from the magnetic tabs and start flapping around haha)

As usual, there are not enough pegs included with the tent to cover all eventualities. It comes with x4 16g 8” DAC stakes for the tent corners, and x4 7g 6” DAC stakes for guy lines. However, you might also want additional pegs, for pitching out the door flap when sitting with the door open, or for pegging down the side panels of the tent.

The tent retained barely half a degree of heat compared to outside, but this is not an issue as I bought this tent specifically for summer trips. It can feel breezy inside, but this can be improved by pitching the tent lower to the ground (this will in turn of course massively increase condensation). Unless breezy and well ventilated, condensation will be an issue as it is with all single-skin shelters, so always bring something to clean it up with, and use a bivi bag over your sleeping bag.
I’ll be trying this tent on a rainy night soon and I’m looking forward to taking it out on a longer hike!

MY HAPPY HELPER
(Frank) https://amzn.to/3s4b5Hi

My Thoughts

The long wet winter of 2024 continues, and it was time to try my £21 tent in the mountains – with my trusty bivi bag of course, as I don’t have a death wish. I’d put this one off for ages as I thought it would be pretty grim.. I was right

This was by no means a bad weather test; nothing more than a light rain and some clag, but definitely a step in the wrong direction from the local woodland camp with it last year. I sure noticed a difference in enjoyability haha!

Firstly, I’d forgotten how tiny it is. So small that my sleeping mat buckled up when I tried to fit it inside. But, this is a 2-man tent apparently, so I bought me old pal Frank to get a feel for the sizing. Well, it was cramped. I would say ‘cosy’, but the water everywhere kinda negated any cosy vibes

Condensation is to be expected in a single skin tent, but the issue with this one is the size, and the fact that there’s no drainage. I was constantly touching the wet sides and hitting my head on the roof. My bivi bag & dry bags were essential, as by the morning, there were actual puddles in the tent, some from where the trapped condensation had pooled, and some had leaked in through the door area (I think)

The poles were suspiciously bendy. The lack of vestibule was frustrating, and the tent literally wasn’t long enough for me to lay down in stretched out. My conclusion so far is that this shouldn’t actually be marketed as a tent, but as a gear storage shed. Size-wise, it could be a child tent, but I feel it would be cruel to put a child in it, so I’ll stick with shed

The next trip with the shed will likely be the ol’ bad weather test, so hopefully that’ll finish the poor thing off (although I have to say, I will find it pretty funny if it performs really well)

#WildCamping #Tarp #SoloCamping

My Thoughts

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 this set-up 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!

MY THOUGHTS

Ahh I’m back here again! Just about enough time had passed for me to have forgotten the horrors of the two previous attempts, so it was time for round 3 of Stone Hut with a Tarp.

Armed with a bigger tarp, a massive pole and a healthy dose of Being A Stubborn Cow, I took a drenching as I wrestled my 3.5x3.5m multicam over the old slate construction in the wind, shoved a pole up in the middle and hoped for the best

Would this be third time lucky.. or another fail?

So far, so good. It had taken 1.5 hours to set up the tarp, but it seemed pretty solid. Every guy line was well anchored down with rocks and the pole was working a treat – creating a pitch in the roof so that the water ran straight off instead of pooling on top, and holding the whole thing nice and taught

The extra fabric of the larger sized tarp allowed for a sizable flap to come over the doorway – this stopped the rain coming in through the door, and for the first time, it felt relatively dry inside

A small tear had already developed on the front where the tarp had ripped on the sharp slate, but other than that, there didn’t seem to be any major issues. I just had to hope that this small tear didn’t turn into oh-dear-my-tarp’s-been-ripped-in-half like the first attempt

I changed into my dry clothes and settled down in my sleeping bag for some hot noodles, fully expecting to have to bail at any moment. But the hours ticked by, the wind and the rain continued, and still everything held in place. This was promising, and as bedtime approached and I was still sheltered, I was beginning to feel quietly confident

As darkness fell, an occasional gust would come and knock the pole out of place, but it was easy to just pop it back in place. The wind got up and the tarp shook, but still it held fast. I fell asleep sometime after midnight, and woke up as the sky was starting to get light.. somewhat surprised to still have a roof above my head

I had done it! A dry(ish) night in the old stone hut. This time around, it had been a brilliant shelter. As I examined the state of things in the morning, I found that bigger rips were forming in the tarp, but none had affected me on this night. As far as I was concerned, this was a success, and I was glad that I had come back to try again

Thank you for having me, Stone Hut! It’s been both horrendous and wonderful.

See the previous two attempts here..

My Thoughts

This was the lightest tarp I’ve ever used as a shelter – DCF and only 88g. I tried this out on a sort of stop-off camp, when I was on my way somewhere else and had a rucksack full of gear for the next nights camp. This shelter was so light and small, I could have put it in my pocket.. so I was fully expecting it to get ripped in half in the winds. But the lil thing just kept taking it, and made it through the night unscathed

One of my guy lines snapped at one point, so I had to lower the back corner, which made for quite a cramped living arrangement. I also accidently pitched under a holly bush but somehow managed to avoid popping my sleeping mat. And unwittingly filled a boot with rain water. All-in-all, a pretty chaotic lil camp, but great conditions to test out the tarp in

I also made a tiny friend, a sweet little Robin. I didn’t realise he was in most of the footage right up until it got dark, so that was very cute indeed. He most likely was wondering what the maniac human was doing on his turf

MY THOUGHTS

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 things go wrong. And it reminds me why I always carry a bivi bag of some kind – this one is 285g that could save my life

Bivi Chat! 🤓 The wetness inside the bivi bag on this occasion is not condensation – a week later I put the dry bivi bag outside in light rain for a few hours (all zipped up without me in it) and it again got wet on the inside where water had seeped through the fabric. Not through the seams specifically, but all over, through the fabric itself. I had also placed a dry towel inside, which got damp. Here's a few pics of how the inside looked after it had been out a while, you can see that it isn't dry..

This (Alpkit Kloke) is a very lightweight /285g, breathable bivi bag and so a small amount of water does eventually seep through if you are in prolonged wet conditions. However, in my experience it is a small amount, and not enough to penetrate through the down of the sleeping bag, but the outside of the sleeping bag becomes wet.

The large storm hood is also ridiculously helpful when sheltering from the elements – a feature that my more robust & waterproof bivi bags don’t have. My Alpkit Hunka bivi bags for example, are heavier, thicker, and do seem to be more waterproof. But they don’t have a storm hood, so I imagine it would be quite difficult (maybe impossible?) to stop rain water coming in through the head/face opening instead. And that would make for a difficult and uncomfortable night when no other shelter is available.

I don’t tend to get condensation in my bivi bags, maybe because I’m such a coldy, but if you aren’t as much of a cold-blooded vampire as me and are prone to getting condensation inside them, it’s worth bearing in mind that the more waterproof your bivi bag is, the more condensation you’re gonna get. Your sleeping bag might actually get just as damp or wet from condensation in a very waterproof bag, as it might in a breathable bag that doesn’t cause much condensation but lets a little water through instead

I’m unsure how this bivi bag would perform in prolonged, heavy, relentless rain that didn’t stop all night, but I suspect it would still be enough of a barrier to prevent hypothermia and keep you alive in a bad situation. Alpkit call this bivi bag ‘waterproof’, which I think is a bit misleading. ‘Water resistant’ would be a more accurate description, but I still think it’s a great bit of kit, and currently it’s always in my rucksack on my multi-night trips, to protect my sleeping bag from condensation in the tent and as a backup in case of emergency.

I’m looking for other bivi bags to try – my ideal would be one that is as robust and waterproof as the Hunka’s, with the low weight and storm hood of the Kloke (a girl can dream, right?!)

My Thoughts

Ooh, I do love bad-weather testing tents! On this December day, it was the turn of the Durston X-Mid 1 to get a good seeing to. I was pretty sceptical of my flimsy-looking shelter and was fully prepared for a potential surviving-the-night-in a-ruined-tent type of situation.

However, to my surprise, none of that happened.

The afternoon started with standard Welsh weather, nothing fancy.. 21km/hr gusts and rain. The tent went up easily and I settled down for the night, bracing for the coming gales that were forecast for the next day.

The tent took the weather like a champ all night. I found that the magnetic door toggles don't hold the doors open in strong wind, so I needed to use a clip when cooking etc - just a minor issue. And a bit of rain water sprayed in occasionally via one of the vents, but after closing them, I woke in the morning dry and well rested.

The winds continued to increase, and on that rocky outcrop in front of the tent, I measured gale-force 65km/hr gusts. However, the gusts by the tent just a few meters away were not quite as severe, being blocked slightly by the rock. The tent was, however, still taking near-gales (I measured 59km/hr next to it), with no issue whatsoever. I didn't even have to use the Delta pegs or stronger guy lines that I'd bought

Curious, I unpegged the guy lines to see what would happen. This is a tent that doesn’t require guy lines to hold it up – it’s certainly the only trekking pole tent that I’ve tried that calls guys ‘optional’..

Free of the guys, the tent swayed and shook in the high winds, but still did not budge. The poles stayed exactly in place. Nothing broke. Nothing fell down. Nothing happened at all aside from some flapping polyester.

I still have an inconvenient dislike of the non-stealthy colour of this tent. And these wind speeds, in my mind, still do not constitute being able to confirm if it is “stormworthy” or not.. but damn, did this impress me, and it is definitely bad-weather-worthy. Which I did not expect.

Merch! Wild Stuff for your Wild Self

Gone Camping Tote Bag

My Thoughts

A night out under my poncho.. except this one turns into a tent! Well, sort of. The poncho becomes the fly, and the arm holes become the vents. You can use it like this, just as it is, like a lil tarp-type open shelter. Or, you can stick the matching mesh tent underneath it to create a bug-proof tent thing.

It all seems pretty damn cool, and it’s a fun concept. But I still can’t get my head around these poncho shelters.
First off, you still need to wear a rain coat, for two reasons. The sleeves are far too short to keep your arms dry. And then there’s that familiar poncho-shelter-problem.. if it’s raining, you’re going to get wet when you have to take off the poncho to erect it as a shelter. So, you end up just wearing it over your raincoat, which in my opinion defeats the object of it being a multi-purpose piece of gear.

Pitching this inner first would be a bad idea in rain, as it would just fill up with water. So, I tried to pitch it fly-first, which I found a bit faffy. But it was my first time and I guess I’d be better at it now that I know how it all works

I felt so cosy in this with my lil lantern glowing, enjoying a tasty home cooked chicken tikka masala and listening to the owls and the crows. I tried a mini hot water bottle for this camp, which I found to be a less effective method for warming myself than my electronic hand warmers. The lil hot water bottle only stayed warm 2-3 hours, compared to my handwarmer which chucks out heat all night long. The handwarmer, although I consider it heavy, is considerably lighter than a hot water bottle plus the extra water I had to carry in to fill it with

I settled down for the night, and slept so soundly that I didn’t wake up at all as the rain started coming through the front mesh. By morning the floor was soggy, and my pillow was damp. Not really an issue as I always use a bivi bag, but could become a bit of an annoyance, particularly if you are to be out for more than one night. There's also no vestibule, so everything has to be in the 1-person sleeping space with you, or else shoved under the fly

All that being said, I loved camping with this. I loved the colour and how discrete it was. I loved the ‘feel’ of it.. it felt woodlandly and lovely. Not the most technical terms, but you know what I mean, it felt nice and I felt at home in it. I’ve come to realise that I am such a lover of going unnoticed, that I prefer to camp in a stealthy shelter that lets a bit of water in, than a noticeable shelter that stays totally dry inside

This seems to be well made too, with taped seams, to stop the rain from leaking through the roof (while it comes straight in through the front mesh instead haha!) I do think the poncho fly would make an excellent emergency or lunch shelter for summer hiking though. And, apparently you can join two of these ponchos together, to create a tipi tent! Walking into the woods wearing two ponchos just sounds too wonderfully ridiculous, so I’ll definitely be trying that at some point

My Thoughts

I got me a new tent! ⛺️ First night out with my Durston X-Mid 1

The video for this one is a bit of a weird mish-mash, between being a first-look-new-tent video as intended, and then some oh-god-there's-someone-lurking-over-there kinda stuff that I wasnt planning on

So firstly, the tent. I got this as I love my lightweight Lanshans, but they have caused me some bother.. namely, being pretty rubbish in bad weather

But this tent claims to be both light and 'stormworthy'.. a bold claim indeed, but amazing if it actually is.

The geometery-based design is quite unique, making it far studier than you'd expect - you don't even need to use guy lines. The biggest downside for me is the colour.. I feel obvious and noticeable in it, which is a shame, as I much prefer to blend in.

This first look was a cold, fair weather autumn camp. There was an unnerving experience in the middle when, due to unknowingly pitching close to a tiny path which was hidden by fallen leaves, a person strolled behind my tent at dusk, and then decided to lurk around a while, hanging around and investigating my camp from a distance. As soon as he left I chucked my stuff back into my rucksack and got the hell outta there, walking by the light of the moon to an old trusty spot (which was really hard to find in the dark haha), where I've never been seen before and I felt safe. Give me weird nature noises and spooky tales any day, but other people are my worst fear in the woods.

Camping in a very visible tent reminded why I like to stealth camp with tarps and camo netting 'n all that jazz

Video coming tonight at 7pm GMT over at youtube.com/wildbeare

Bad weather test coming soon 😀 spoiler - it did remarkably well! I was very impressed. But as for the 'stormworthy' thing.. that remains to be seen

My Thoughts

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

My Thoughts

I set up my superlight tarp in the forest - a plow point from a tree, nestled among moss-covered rocks. I loved this lil set-up so much.. it felt so cosy as the rain came down and I settled in my sleeping bag and had my tea. But just as it had gotten dark, I suddenly saw lights moving through the forest. I turned my own lights off and waited for them to pass, but they stayed. The lights moved around in one general area, occasionally flashing in my direction, the light passing over my camp as I would sit frozen still hoping to not be seen

I waited around for an hour and felt more and more on edge, just sitting in the dark. I would never have been able to sleep now, so I decided to leave. I managed to pack up my entire camp in the pitch black by touch alone, only using dim light when I was ready to leave, to check I hadn’t left anything behind. It was kinda cool to find that I know my gear so well that I can pack away blindly

A fire was now blazing through the trees along with the lights

On my womble down through the forest, it was hard to make out the rough paths in the dark and there were more lights, in different places. I’d not travelled far from my car due to my poorly ankle, so I guess I was more likely to run into others. I kinda take it for granted that I’m alone out there, and it made me nervous to find out that I wasn’t

Back at the car, I drove to a quiet layby nearby, made a hot drink and arranged my car bed. The heavenly display above Landy was breathtaking – one of the most beautiful night skies that I’ve ever seen. I slept soundly for 8 hours and woke to the sun peeping through the autumn foliage before driving home, well rested and, in retrospect, loving my little misadventure

Sometimes it doesn’t go to plan, but that’s ok. I may have disliked realising that I wasn’t alone.. and the fearful avenues that my mind goes down when it conjures up the possible dark consequences of running into possibly dark humans alone at night. But as always, once I wake, alive and well I am full of gratitude for it all – I loved so many things about this lil trip

MY HAPPY HELPER
(Frank) https://amzn.to/3s4b5Hi

My THoughts

Ahh, a night in the wind and rain in a Dinky Lil Tent

This is the Snugpak Ionosphere, and I thought it would be fun to try it out in a nice exposed spot and see what it’s made of. First you notice that it pitches inner first, which wasn’t an issue for this camp as it wasn’t raining when I pitched the tent. But pitching an inner first tent in rain is always a bit dodgy as the inner can fill up with water

The tent was easy to set up and I soon had all my gear inside, and my happy helper Frank to assist. Snugpak call this a one-person shelter, which will take 2 in an emergency. As you can see, it takes 2 people, but it’s a bit romantic. You’ll never get 2 mats in it, but it could provide shelter for 2 in a life-threatening situation

I found camping with this tent a bit annoying. There’s no vestibule of course, so no shelter for cooking, or to store your rucksack or boots (which I kept between the inner and the fly). You can’t sit up in it unless you sit in the doorway with the door open, which obviously isn’t an option in rain. And when you are confined inside because of rain, it’s cramped as hell. My usually neatly arranged possessions were all over the place and I ended up with a sore neck from all the contorting in the tiny space.

But, to sleep in, it was just fine. It makes a great stealth shelter being only 75cm high, and for once, there were no leaky seams. Not even any condensation due to the wind. I measured gusts of up to 37km/hr but had no concerns in this lil bad boy, as it’s so low profile with a small surface area, this kinda wind was no issue for it at all. It kept me safe and dry, and I found it to be very good at being what it is ~ a very tiny tent. If you like that kinda thing.

The stars shone between rain showers and I woke to the most beautiful sunny morning in the mountains, a real treat after the cramped rainy night

My Thoughts

I was so excited to head out in what I assumed was just going to be a standard rainy night, and make a cosy nook under my giant umbrella. This is a 2.2m wide fishing umbrella, but I thought it might make a perfect camping shelter.

Initial findings were that the plastic D-loop attachment points on the brolly were rubbish, and one of them fell off as soon as I tried the umbrella at home. So, I set about making new attachment points, with metal D-loops and webbing, and sewing them on securely. I replaced the two at the back of the brolly, and the 2 on the flappy side panel bits. And I added x4 new ones across the front of the brolly, in case it needed to be anchored from the front too.

Now this of course isn’t something you would want to use on a windy night – I’d assume that it would just get smashed to bits, but I figured it would be ok on a fairly still night in sheltered woods. I took a small tarp with me, just in case I needed it.
I loved setting up my sleep system under the brolly, it felt like being in a cave – nice and sheltered but with gorgeous views out too. However, as the rain started again at night and passing thunderstorms rumbled about, it soon started to leak. Water was coming through all the seams. I chucked my lil tarp over the brolly, which did the trick, but did kind of defeat the object of using the brolly

Regardless, I loved this setup. It was one of my favourites. It was heavy to carry in (the brolly alone weighing about 2.6kg, and that’s without the groundsheet and spare tarp that I needed to carry in too. So not overly practical, and I possibly looked a bit of a lunatic walking in with it haha, but there was something about it that I really loved. It was cosy and fun, and it gave me playing-dens-vibes.

I absolutely loved my first experience of sleeping wild during a thunderstorm. I was camped at low elevation, and the storms were always a few miles away, which is still never entirely safe but considerably safer than being directly under one. I got to relax under my massive brolly and watch the sky light up, and wait for the rumbles while the rain poured. It was just perfection and I feel very lucky to have experienced it

Gear List - Ghillie Suit Stealth Camping

My Thoughts

Ahh, the Ghillie Suit! What a wonderful way to blend in with the foliage for a stealth camp!

For this one I made my lil bed/shelter as low profile as possible. I used my foam mat, with a blanket and pillow, under a layer of camo netting. The resulting nook was completely flat and indistinguishable from the surrounding area, and I looked like a bush, so that was pretty neat.

I did bring a tarp in case of rain, but it was a lovely night and the tarp wasn’t needed. However, I was a bit chilly overnight. It must have dropped below 10degC (pretty cool for August) and the foam mat and blanket wasn’t quite warm enough, despite the floof provided by the ghillie suit.

The ghillie suit was real fun to try, although it was hot to wear during the day, and cumbersome to move around in. It also collected every piece of woodland/twig/leaf that it encountered, leaving me looking like a matted green sheep. Somehow I also developed a weird tail type thing.. not sure why or how that happened, but I ended up cutting it off

I got to test it out in the morning, when I lay on the ground in full view and someone walked along the path a few metres away without even noticing I was there hehe. Although, I felt the colour of this suit would be better suited to evergreen forest than deciduous woods – I might need to try with a lighter green to match the ferns.

My Thoughts

I finally got to try out camping under my Poncho tarp in the rain!

This was during 'Storm Antoni', which to be fair amounted to some drizzle and a light breeze. I somehow managed to survive, but getting the poncho erected without getting wet did prove challenging nonetheless

I decided to go for a lean-to using my trekking poles, so that I could adjust the height as needed. I was able to get the back corners pegged in while under poncho, but when it came to pegging in the guy lines running off the trekking poles, there was no option other than to get out and a bit soggy

So I'm not sure that a poncho is overly practical as I can't work out a way to get it up without getting wet.. I feel taking additional waterproofs kinda defeats the object

I also ended up with a leaky doo-dah (that's the hood bit) so that'll need seem sealing. I feel like hardly anything is water proof these days

Anyhow, this was a lovely lil night in the woods :)

My Thoughts

This may be my stealthiest camp so far! Would you notice it?

I found a lil ditch and fixed a lightweight tarp over a low ridgeline, before blending it into the ground using camo netting, leaves and twigs. If I didn’t make it myself, I would never have noticed it was there!

This set-up was too low to sit up in, but I was able to slide right underneath it, so it would have given me complete coverage in the rain, if I had needed it

I had a lovely night in the woods and went undetected, except for a passing dog, who didn’t see me at first, but when I moved he was startled to see a lunatic hiding in a ditch so he got a bit barky. I guess, you can be as stealth as you like but there's no escaping the doggo's!

I used my foam mat for this one, which was a little chilly at night what with it dropping to 10 °C.. I think I prefer to use the foam mat in 14°C+

My Thoughts

A lil camp using superlight gear; 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

My Thoughts

I thought I'd try the stone hut with a tarp thing again, but this time with a ridiculously heavy, robust 3x3m polycotton tarp

I was pretty confident that this was gonna work out and I'd get that cosy night in the hut that I was hoping for. But, it was not to be. This tarp didn't rip in the wind like the last one did, but it did let water through instead. It was a wet night, spent entirely in the bivi bag in an attempt to stay dry, plus no sleep whatsoever. Not really what I had in mind, haha!

Pretty sure I've decided to give up on this stone-hut-with-a-tarp idea 🥴

Camp Journal

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 and I'm not entirely sure how they didn't see me

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, evaporating in the heat before it could drip from the leaves, I guess. 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 the next day

I also met a real angry bug on this camp! He fell out of a tree, and I thought he might be dead, so when he started moving I was so relieved :) but I don't think he liked me as 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 I had to look it up.. apparently he's a Cockchafer. Which I found highly amusing because I'm a bit daft. You can also call him a Doodlebug, which sounds much cuter I think

Trip Journal

Tis deffo time to dust off the superlight hiking tents for summer!

Just a quickie - a night out in the mountains getting reacquainted with the Lanshan Pro 1, before taking it out on a multi-night trip

This was a hot day back in May. 18/19°C in the shade, but my thermometer hit 40°C in the sun. I was meltingg 🫠 (hiking in anything over 14°C usually = melted Beare). But of course, the tumbling river was there to cool me down, and I had a beautiful evening, having a refresher with the tent and trying to figure out why I had a Flappy Front Bit 🤔

The sun set over the hills and Jupiter rose. The lil glowing head torches of the night hikers on the opposite mountain became visible in the dark (can you guess which mountain it is?)

It made me feel all warm and cosy inside, wondering who they were and what kind of adventures they were having

My Thoughts..

So I had a go camping under a poncho. This poncho is really light and compact, just 214g, and has the benefit of being both a poncho and a tarp.. who doesn’t love a multipurpose piece of gear! Also, it’s such a great look. Kind of like a pregnant tortoise crossed with an escaped lunatic

However, although it didn’t rain in the end for this camp, it quickly became apparent that if it was raining, I’d get drenched as soon as I took the thing off to pitch it as a tarp. So does it make much sense? Probably not as I’d need to take waterproofs with me anyway.

But as it was, on what turned out to be a lovely dry evening that I didn’t even need a poncho for 😄 this was a fab lil shelter. I erected it in a ditch in order to be hidden from view from the dog walkers, although I didn’t entirely escape the keen senses of the dogs.. peering over the edge of my ditch to find a lovely doggo staring right at me, haha

It was fairly difficult to put up in an A-Frame config using my trekking poles, but I got there in the end. Of all the tarp configs that I’ve tried so far, I found this to be one of the most tricky. Everything just slides around and falls down all the time. But once it was up, it stayed put and a lovely night was had in the woods

My Thoughts..

This has got be my stealthiest camp yet! I used a small tarp, close to the ground and covered it with camo netting and leaves. Honestly, I could barely see it haha! This was such a gorgeous night, close to a lil country road but completely hidden. I also had a beautiful deer pass by my shelter while I was sleeping (thank you trail cam)

I am absolutely loving camo netting, so simple and effective.

MY Thoughts

I loved this lil setup! I made a cosy nook in this beautiful old boy, ready for a 0°C night in the woods. There were a lot of people around during the daylight hours so I was a little on edge that I may have been seen, but this was a beautiful night nonetheless. I heard a Red Kite (I think), Muntjac, and what may or may not have been an angry badger.

I also had fun experimenting with some camo netting for the first time – really liked this! Cheap and effective, I’ll be using it again. It really is amazing what you can do with a fallen tree

Feeling Floofy Long Sleeve

My Thoughts

I thought it might be fun to get myself the cheapest hiking tent I could find and see what it’s all about. Introducing, the Eurohike Toco 2.

Being bright red, a stealth camp was the obvious first choice. I did my best to help it blend in to its surroundings, using my hoodie and some dead ferns, and was fairly satisfied with the outcome. As darkness fell, the tent shimmered in the night, like a glow-worm with carpet burns. And in the morning, I discovered the stealthiest way to use this tent. (Collapsed, without the poles in it)

On a serious note though, this went better than I thought it would. It was too bright for my liking (I couldn't find it in any other colours), very tiny (although just about big enough for me, but if you're over 5ft8" you won't fit in this) and full of condensation (as are my more expensive single-skin tents, that's just how it goes). But a lovely night was had none the less. It was a basic shelter.

My biggest issue with it so far is actually the colour. And not having a vestibule is not ideal in wet weather haha! Also, there's no way that this is a 2-person tent. Due to lacking a vestibule for gear storage, it's a 1-person at best. Or maybe child size.

Now that it's getting warmer, I'm hoping to try this tent in some fun conditions, with back-up gear of course - stay tuned :)

My Thoughts

A lil stealth camp under a tree in -6°C, my coldest yet! This wasn't what I had planned for this camp, but there were too many people around to set a tarp up out in the open. And with no leaves on the trees for cover, it's open everywhere. So I used my tarp as a ground sheet under a beautiful evergreen and had a cosy night. It turns out the tree kept me much warmer than I would have been, with a 3°C temperature difference between outside in the open and under the tree 😯

I mean, -3 is cold, but it's warmer than -6 🥶 I don't think I've experienced such cold temperatures before. During the night, my fingers felt like they were starting to freeze as soon as I got out of the bag. But as long as I stayed in the bag, I was toasty warm and had a nice 8 hour sleep to the sound of a slightly irate owl 🦉

Camping in this temperature was challenging. There's a lot to think about. Not just keeping yourself warm enough but your water, fuel and electronics too. Despite being as floofed up as the Michelin Man, I got through 2 sets of handwarmers which was a first, as usually one set is enough

But, if you've got gear (or handwarmers 😄) good enough to keep you warm, this is a really lovely way to spend a night.

I'm craving spring now. There's deffo a smidge of warmth in the midday sun. Things are moving and preparing under the ground. It's just round the corner :)

Emoji Mono Long Sleeve

My Thoughts

I took my Hilleberg Soulo into the mountains to give it a good test in wind and rain and the weather gods obliged with 60km/h winds and hours of heavy rain

The tent didn't budge at all and felt like a perfect lil safe haven - exactly what I wanted for winter in the mountains :)

It feels incredibly well made and sturdy, although I do struggle with the weight of it on top of my winter sleep system, so I won't be able to walk too far with this tent. I've included some specs in the video. Here's a few things that I like and dislike about this tent so far..

Likes:

The quality. This is an extremely well made and solid tent
The details. Adjustable ventilation panels, various ways to set the doors, zip flaps, and an outer that reaches the ground make this tent feel like it was made for mountain camping
How much heat it holds in - in my experience it is 4-5°C warmer inside the tent than outside, and that's with a ventilation panel open too. This makes a huge difference in cold conditions
It's freestanding and pitches inner and outer together - perfect for easy pitching in bad weather
I'm able to cook in the vestibule in the rain, without water getting inside the inner or wetting my sleep system
Most importantly, I feel safe in it, so far

Dislikes:

Headroom - my head touches the top of the inner if I sit up straight
The price! This is an insanely expensive tent. For me with the amount of camping I do in these kind of conditions it's a worthwhile investment. But for nice-weather camping in the woods, probably best to save your money
The weight; 2.4kg packed weight (without footprint) is heavy for me for a backpacking tent. But unavoidable for a tent of such high quality and strong materials
The condensation - this is also unavoidable due to the tent being constructed so that the outer goes all the way to the ground for insulation

Go Your Own Way Long Sleeve Tee

My Thoughts

A luxurious lil camp in the woods with my Naturehike Cloud Peak 2, two small tarps, a giant floofy pillow and a firebox 🔥

I cooked duck pancakes on the fire - so delicious! And settled down for a cosy night in the rain. I loooved having a big pillow, this is the Vango Gwent and it was real comfy. It's too big and heavy for hiking but I'll deffo be using it for local camps, on the occasions that I can fit it in my rucksack 😄

I also tried a Light AF mat from Outdoor Gear Essentials under my sleep mat, in place of my usual foil-foam mat. The light AF mat is only a few grams heavier and is nice and non-slip, so it stopped my mat sliding around. I also really liked being able to fold it to make a sit mat

The titanium Bushbox was great, just like my old fav steel version but lighter - always a win.

I caught some critters on the trail cam and had a comfortable, long sleep in the woods - a lovely lil camp for the last one of 2022 ☺️ I'm glad because the first one of 2023 in the mountains turned out to be totally bonkers haha!

My Thoughts..

I tried a bivi bag camp in the rain to see how effective it would be in an emergency situation.

This was over 12 hours in wet, rainy conditions in a bivi bag with no other shelter and temps between 5°C and 7.5°C. I filmed this close to my car in case it went wrong (never clever to intentionally risk hypothermia)

I used the Alpkit Kloke lightweight bivi bag. It was not as entirely waterproof as I would have hoped, but I did still stay warm and dry, so would have survived unscathed and well in an actual emergency situation. The features of this bag (big hood, zip-up entrance hole) meant that no rain water came in the entrance hole - a big plus!

My sleeping bag - Leviathan OEX 900 - got wet on the outside. Not enough water came through the bivi bag to penetrate through my sleeping bag, so I was unaware that any water had come in until I was packing away the next morning. Mr Leviathan seems to have recovered from the ordeal haha! I used him for a camp in the woods a couple days ago and was lovely and warm, although it is mild at the moment. Hopefully no damage done 🤞

I had been putting this camp off for months as I thought it was going to be horrendous and uncomfortable but actually, I had a magical time. Now and again the clouds would clear and I would be sat, propped up against the roots of the fallen tree all warm and cosy, under the most beautiful sky full of stars. Then when the rain came, I'd duck back into the bivi bag, zip myself in and hide out. It was a wonderful experience, although not something I would normally chose to do in rain as the risk of the sleeping bag getting wrecked is quite high, and doing this over multiple wet nights would not be a good idea at all.

My Thoughts..

Due to an unexpected thunderstorm, I had to abandon my original pitch up high and make my way down into the forest. Here I found a perfect lil pitch among the ferns and next to a river, and had a bit of a battle with the wind and rain getting my tent up – my Lanshan 2 – but got there in the end

The intention of this video was to give the Lanshan 2 a good test in some bad weather – which is why I originally chose a high, exposed pitch. But, down low of course, I was much more sheltered from the weather and so didn’t get to give the tent the butt-kicking that I’d hoped for.

The tent held up just fine to some rain and moderate wind on this camp, but the weather passed over in the night giving rise to a beautiful morning.. I have since taken this tent out for 2 nights in constant, more extreme weather in exposed pitches and it didn’t fare so well!

This was a really beautiful camp in the beautiful autumn colours 🍂 and I loved being out in some adverse weather conditions – except maybe finding myself up high in a thunderstorm which made me very nervous indeed haha!

My Thoughts

Trying an Adirondack tarp formation & cooking delicious kebabs on my lil campfire 😋

I loved this config! So much more sheltered than a lean-to but still with lovely views of the woods all around

These kebabs were beautiful.. chicken & lamb steak, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, cayenne pepper, oregano & salt.. with some buttered naan and saffron rice 😍

This one was a bit chilly, dropping to around 4°C, but I staying nice & snug in my bivi bag under the tarp

Go Your Own Way - Long Sleeve

My Thoughts..

A crazy weather camp at a forest lake in the mountains 😍

This was such a beautiful pitch; I had a lovely lil dip in the lake in the rain and settled down, excited for a downpour while I was all cosy under the tarp. But during the night, the wind got up, and what had originally been rain that poured straight down, turned into rain and hail that comes in diagonally and drenches everything 😄

At one point I woke up to my tarp and the rain flapping around in my face where it had come unpegged from one corner. I didn't get that on video as I was slightly confused and then once I realised what had happened, my focus was soley just on getting it pegged back down securely and not getting wet. I got it sorted, but didn't sleep much after that

Thankfully, I was in a trusty bivi bag and my things were in dry bags, so apart from barely getting any sleep, all was fine. I was pretty jaded by the morning, when the sun came out, the wind dropped, and it was as if the crazy night had never happened

A note on tarps in bad weather - there are enclosed tarp formations that provide adequate shelter (tarp tent etc). But because there was no wind when I pitched, I chose to have an open formation with a view and paid the price when the wind changed haha! It was also too high in the front for this kind of weather, allowing the wind to blow the rain & hail under. I could have dropped it down when the really bad weather started but then I would have gotten my bed clothes wet - so I figured it was safer to just stay in my bivi bag and wait it out

Bivi bags are the absolute best - they have kept me dry and warm in many ridiculous situations and could potentially save your life 💚 I always carry one these days, whatever shelter I'm using - an essential back up in case of human error, unexpected changes in weather or gear failure.

Down Blanket - My Thoughts...

I really like this down blanket! Extremely packable and ideal for warm summer camps. I really love that you can use the poppers to hold it draped around your shoulders too for sitting around camp.

The recommended temp for this blanket is 8-25°C, but for me personally, around 13/14°C would probably be my limit with this one – this was the overnight temp for this camp and I was just about warm enough. It’s hard to say after one use but I think this might be very slightly warmer than the Snugpak Jungle Blanket.. they don’t differ much in weight, this one being 735g and the Jungle Blanket being 700g. This one is a down blanket, whereas the Jungle Blanket is synthetic - for this reason care needs to be taken to keep the down blanket dry. The Snugpak has more of a water-resistant fabric on one side, so that will be more suitable than a down blanket if you're worried about it getting wet

Both blankets will be great to layer up with a sleeping bag in really cold weather too

My Thoughts...

What can I say.. I love this tent!! All in, it's 350g heavier than my Pro1, and for this lil bit of extra weight, I get loads more room, more headroom, 2 doors, 2 huge vestibules, and 2 layers, so that I'm not soaking myself on the condensation from the outer. It also has lovely taped seams (no seam-sealing, hurray!) and while I've only had it out in a light shower I don't foresee any random puddle issues.. but I won't speak too soon 😄

I love that I get to use my trekking poles, as traditional tent poles make me a bit nervous since I had them snap in the wind earlier in the year on Chnict. Having said that, I don't know how this would perform in high wind.. I have a feeling the poles might get knocked down, but for me that is preferable to poles snapping.

The bathtub floor is thin, just as with the Pro 1, so I use a footprint with it, just as I do with the pro 1.

I found this tent much easier to set up properly than the Pro 1 - the Pro 1 tended to sag and it was difficult to get the corners of the bathtub floor to stand upright, but the 2 was fine

This tent came with me on my recent Rhinogs trip (video of this trip is next on the editing pile) and it was just perfect 👌

My Thoughts...

Trying to hang my superlight hammock in a tree stand was a little bit tricky, but I managed to make a nice bed for the night 😊 This was my first time using the superlight to sleep in, having used it previously only for day camps. I really liked it; light, nice & simple

The lay wasn't perfect but this made for a cosy place to spend the night, only made better by the most delicious lamb seasoned with rosemary, rock salt, pepper and mint and cooked above the coals 😍🥩🔥

This hammock doesn't come with a bug net (although I believe you can get one separately), so I used only a head bug net which did me fine. I also didn't use a tarp, instead covering my sleeping bag with a bivi bag to keep the dew off. This was also my first time not using an underblanket.. I woke up cold in the night so popped my Z-Lite mat in the hammock and was nice and warm after that - I found the Z-lite surprisingly comfortable in the hammock

***Filmed 9th July, pre ‘heat-wave’ (those 2 hot days we had that were called a heatwave). The woods were lush and green and it wouldn't have been possible to start an accidental fire. Goes without saying, but make sensible decisions and don’t have fires or flames in dry woodlands, long grass or where there is fire risk***

My Thoughts...

This is a simple lil Bushcraft Camp, trying out my new DD 3.5x3.5 multicam tarp, making fire with birch bark, cooking delicious pork on the Bushbox with fresh ingredients and using a closed cell mat for the first time - this is a Thermarest Z-Lite

This was a lovely lil camp, many critters about and I even managed to record two deer and the backside of a fox on the trail cam, which is loads for 1 night 😍

My thoughts on new gear;

- The tarp I loved, it's so big and gave amazing coverage. It didn't rain on this camp but I'd love to be under one of these in the rain. Twice as heavy as my Superlight tarps though (1,050g excl. pegs & guylines), so I wouldn't want to drag it up a mountain. Great for a local woodland camp though! And blended in with the surroundings real nice

- Really enjoyed the Z-Lite mat too, feels pretty much like laying on the ground but with a thin layer of padding, which I find ok, but won't be ideal if you need more floof to lay on. I imagine it's pretty comfy on grass though instead of hard woodland floor. Mostly I loved how versatile it is - I can sleep on it, fold it in half to make an extra-thick sit mat, use it as a stool completely folded, and I didn't have to worry about it getting punctured by twigs or thorns or sparks from the fire. It's bulky of course but weighs about the same as if I were to use my X-Lite inflatable mat combined with a foil foam mat. I'm debating taking it for my next 3-night adventure but am still undecided 🤔

***Filmed 8th July, pre ‘heat-wave’ (those 2 hot days we had that were called a heatwave). The woods were lush and green and it wouldn't have been possible to start an accidental fire. Goes without saying, but make sensible decisions and don’t have fires or flames in dry woodlands, long grass or where there is fire risk***
