Tarp and bivvi camping in very strong wind and rain.

50 mph winds !! Tarp and bivy camping in very strong winds in a storm with no name .Wild weather camping is very challenging it's wet, muddy, and windy.
my equipment I used was Oex bush pro tarp, British army bivvi, outdoor vitals sleeping pad, Onewind down hammock quilt, British army bivvi.

    Love these videos. Not a fan of tent camping… for many reasons but tarp and bivi is an incredibly minimal camp, and when you can be happy, warm and safe with that kind of gear is a nice feeling.

    THE only channel that doesn’t have a video title of ‘camping in my Hilleberg or Durston’…a down-to-earth normal guy passionate about camping. Well done you are one of only 3 camping channels I subscribe to now. The others are all pretentious numpties who need to bang on about their expensive tent. Please don’t ever change your channel is great 👍

    Hi Dan, I have ca Kelly Kettle, on one trip I couldn't find anything dry to burn, however I always carry a trangia stove. I thought I'd give it a try to see if it worked. It worked great it sounded like a bloody jet engine when I fired it up, I also actually cooked the meals on it for three kids and my wife. The trangia burner is now part of the Kelly Kettle kit.

    In the 5 years I lived rough in a tent 2015-2020 freezing temperatures were ok, you can keep warm, rain difficult to dry clothes out if you had a hike back to base regardless of waterproofs. High winds worst for anxiety in the tent in a woodland. You could hear branches/ trees breaking but had no idea if they were the ones that would crash down on top of you.

    Well done Dan, come rain or shine our woodsman is there. Rough conditions, but you seemed to have done a good job with the tarp, perhaps a tent under tarp would have been better, a little more comfortable. Also you can dig a small trench around your camp to drain off the water. You do a great job talking to the camera, I hate silent videos! Have a very happy Christmas to you & family.

I was in a wood with old oak and beech trees and branches were falling all around. It was a little like Russian Roulette lol. Keep these videos going, they are very entertaining and informative.

    Using those fire starter blocks with the Kelly Kettle was a good trick. All you needed to convert that into a warming fire was a windscreen! The first time I used a Kelly Kettle I made that cork mistake. I took the cork out and the pressurized steam and water hit my hands and bare arms. I got a bit of a burn.
