  • In this Video we get an impromptu night out in an old forest park, this park has long been closed apart from the odd forestry work and is now only the frequented by cyclists and the odd dog walker. I have had great memories at this park as a child and the nostalgia of finally camping here was nice. It was a relatively long hike in, so we just had a quick fire and food before bed. The highlight of the trip was some fried spam!
    I also shared some of the modification I made to the Lavvu and also how I keep my knives sharp in the field.

    Adding a skirt really give you a lot more floor and head space. Good Job on the Mods.

      Just over 7kg all in. It’s not a light beast!

    Nice job with the lavvu mods. Did you use a lavvu to get the extra material for the mod? I have a size 1 Polish lavvu but it is far two small to be comfortable. Atb Ian.

    • @WildCampingNI
      @WildCampingNI  5 років тому +1

      Crazybear Kaiser Ian, I did buy extra old ponchos for this exact reason, but I struggled to get the near 8’meters required. What I did in the end was I bought 6oz waxed canvas off eBay, I was concerned of the colour contrast originally, but it grew on me.

    what about trying that with ripstop to keep the weight down?

    • @WildCampingNI
      @WildCampingNI  5 років тому

      That’s an option, but the whole Lavvu is not the lightest, and I’m happy to keep this shelter to short walks and canoe / bike camping especially when paired with a stove. I really like the canvas feel.
