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

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

MERCH - Wild Stuff for your Wild Self!
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 :)
Gear LIst - Bad Weather Mountain Camp
Merch - Wild Stuff for your Wild Self
Worn in this video..
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

MERCH - Wild Stuff for your Wild Self
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

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
