    I'm so jealous you live close enough to pop to Scotland as and when you like. Cracking 3:02 of coastline. Surprised, there was no issue with midges. Apparently, they have boomed up there this year (Scotland actually has a midge forecast online just like the weather).
    Glad you didn't put the tent up and toughed it out like a real bivy camper 👊👌 but at the same time I don't blame you at all for also taking the tent up Scotland.
    Thanks for the shoutout Adrian and you're most welcome for the shoutout too mate 👍 Lovely camp mate and very enjoyable 👊👌👍
    Beautiful morning sunrise 🌅 🌄 and the perfect example of why we do it.

      Hi Gez, thanks for watching, to be honest the tent was never coming out, (nice to have the back up), a bivy is too much fun, and to sit that storm out while dry and cosy was magic, yes we are lucky up here, less than an hour into Scotland,no midge problem on the coast spots as yet,
      Cheers

      Hi Graham, it was magic,being under the small tarp, being cosy, dry and warm, no leval spots really, so it’s bivy land.

      Hi and thanks for watching, I love the tarp and bivy, the only time a tent scores is when it’s wet on the way in, just a bit easier to jump in and sort yourself out, but as long as it’s a dry walk in I will always pick the tarp and bivy , watching the sea and weather was great, yes it was magic !!

    Hi Adrian, what a stunning location. It's almost a shame I live about as far south as you can get in England, but I guess living close to the New Forest isn't too bad. Totally agree with you - tarp and bivi is the best set-up. I love falling to sleep watching the night sky.

    Smashing video, thank you. I use those uncle Ben's meals quite a bit. I usually boil them in the bag, dead easy, just put the unopened bag and usually a rice one too, in a pan, cover with water, then boil it. After a couple of minutes boiling, you can take them out and they should be red hot. You can use the boiled water to make your drink. Worked brill and you don't have any pots to clean.

    I use “Holdon” tarp clips along the bottom edge of my tarp on the ground. This enable me to get rid of that horrible gap caused by the standard ties on the tarp. The edge pins down tightly to the ground and then it’s not draughty .

    • @northumberlandmountainhopper
      @northumberlandmountainhopper  Рік тому +1

      Hi and thanks for watching, I don’t mind the gap as I am in the bivy, sometimes I put short guy lines on the ground side so it sits over the Heather etc better, and it gives the wind some where to escape,
      But it’s a good tip if you want to pin it down tight,

      @onanysundrymule3144 Рік тому

      I am often plagued with ticks but it is from day walking in my case. I know this because I do not do any wildcamping. Body brushing bracken seems to be the worst for it. Whether bivvy or tent camping you will still be doing the walk-in, and the sitting on the ground brewing and cooking etc. So technically speaking, whilst an open bivvy could allow more opportunity for ticks to find you, I believe in practice however that 80 or 90% of them will get you at the walking-in stage, ie, you will introduce them into the tent anyways. Kind regards.

    Why don't you pin the tarp right to the ground on the windward side? Why do you put up with the thing blowing all over the place? And, why pitch it so high with such little coverage overhead. No offense but it makes you look like a novice backpacker. You are way too exposed.

      As for the back of the tarp I very rarely pin it to the floor as I feel it helps with the wind ,
      And the flapping, it did not prevent a nice sleep, and it was all about get something up quick before the heavy rain.
