Tarp and Bivvy camp in a field
I use my DD 3x3 tarp and Robens Mountain Bivvy to camp in a field. The tarp supports were legs off an old tripod. It rained in the morning

Alpkit Tarpstar 1 without the inner
มุมมอง 4443 หลายเดือนก่อน
A camp in the Alpkit Tarpstar 1 with just the inner gives lots of room inside. Sleeping with the door open eliminates condensation. The flysheet and pegs only weigh 890g.

If you use two trekking poles instead of one it makes it easier to get in and out of the inner.

I set this one up with the inner along the back although the ends did stick out a bit, but I knew it wasn't going to rain. I like this set up better because it gives me a better view out through the door.
Coastal camp in a Polish Lavvu

First camp of 2024 by the coast in my Polish Lavvu. I lost a bit of footage whilst editing hence some stills in the video. The Lavvu is a bit of a beast to carry, weighing in at 3.5kg. My total pack weight was 17kg.
Plash Palatka by the Menai Straits
มุมมอง 27510 หลายเดือนก่อน
A night out on the shores of the Menai Straits, a great spot between the two bridges. The Menai Bridge built by Thomas Telford in 1826 on one side and the Brittania Bridge with the mainline railway underneath on the other side. Originally built as a rail bridge in 1846 and took four years to complete, it caught fire in 1970 and was rebuilt with a road section on the top which now carries the A5...

A mix of photos and videos showing my 600 mile trip to Northern Ireland on my Honda CG125 motorbike. Due to bad weather I came home two days earlier than planned. I now wish that I had taken more video footage.

In this camp I use my DD hammock and the DD 3x3 tarp. Glad I brought it as there was overnight rain.

Dd Superlight or the regular ?
It was the 3x3 Superlight version although I do also have the regular which is a little bit more robust when the weather is bad. Thanks for watching. 👍
Sad sight seeing those cows.. All mothers and calves taken away either for veal, dead within a week, or eventually raped by a human hand just to provide milk for humans... Dairy is scary
These cows have some quality of life as they are free to roam all the fields before the inevitable happens to them, also they are not a dairy herd so no milking for them. Thanks for watching.
roughly what length were your poles set to?
@@Mohdock roughly 130 - 140cm, thanks for watching. 👍
When I was a young soldier, 1973 we were taught leave no trace
amen
I wish many others were taught it as well. Thanks for watching. 👍
Really enjoyed that once again! Shows that wild camping isn't always about those prime National Park trig point locations - sometimes the best views are from fields a few miles away! Thanks for sharing, looked just my sort of camp. 👍
It was around a 10 minute drive and then a mile and a half of walking to get there. I suppose the farmer could have found me had he come to tend to the cows, but I was left alone to enjoy the wonderful view. I have seen you camp in similar places on your channel, especially your micro adventure videos, and really enjoyed them. The old hips are giving me problems these days, so I cannot walk too far. Thanks for watching. 👍
Great vid. Loved the chilled out cows (why people are so scared of them I don't know) and that castle looks very impressive. I need to try a tarp and groundsheet camp soon...
The cows were actually quite funny because as soon as they saw me coming they all gathered in a row at the fence, one of them even licked my hand. Thanks for the comment and for watching. 👍
Buen campamento 👍
Gracias y gracias por mirar. 👍
You must have enjoyed this! - Well done, thanks for sharing 🍄🧘🏼🌱🌿🙏
Yes I really did enjoy this camp, thanks for watching. 👍
Here i am, thinking im original and cool because i did this from parts of an aluminum frame i had laying around
A great video and a very relaxing watch. I always learn something more about the art of wild camping (and doing it well) from your videos. Thank you for posting it. Really like the clips showing the wildlife and the natural environment, it looks beautiful, no wonder you enjoy spending time there.
Thank you for the kind comment and glad that you are picking up some tips. That camp spot was not too far from home at all, and I am grateful that I live in such a beautiful area. Thanks for watching. 👍
It would be useful to know what kit you used for this one. Great video :-)
Hi, I only had the Snugpak Extreme 4 bag with a air mattress and cheap 6x4 tarp from Home Bargains underneath, the rest is as you see it. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@ysgolgerlan I just googled it and was surprised to see the Snugpak Extreme weighs about the same as the sleeping bag I've been carrying around....! The only difference is how they pack down - the snugpak takes less room,
@@WildBikeCamper Sorry but I meant to say it was the Snugpak Elite 4 and not the Snugpak Extreme 4. It is a synthetic bag and does not compress as well as a down bag would. Having said that, the packed size is quite good along with it's weight, and it is warm and stays warm if it gets wet. All the best. 👍
Great views and filming!
Thank you for the kind comment and thanks for watching. 👍
Nice camp out. In good weather it makes sense to just use the outer. Nice to see the cuckoo, not as many about these days. Thanks for sharing. Steve.
Yes the cuckoo was nice to see, I have to admit though that it went on my nerves in the end. It was constantly cuckoo-ing for over half an hour. Thanks for watching. 👍
Looks a good shelter and also a good tip shared to lower the tent til it gets dark
Yes, I was camped in a little dip and the main path was just behind me. If anyone came they would just think that I was sitting down on a groundsheet. Thanks for watching. 👍
Bron iawn fysa poncho a poncho liner wedi gwneud tro.
Ia, mae yr poncho canvas yn agored ar un ochor ond mae hwn yn ysgafn ag digon o le os ydi hi yn bwrw glaw. Diolch am gwylio. 👍
Bendigedig ó noson 🙌🏻
Diolch, nesi ddim gweld yr awyr gwyrdd yn de.
Fabulous landscapes. What are your thoughts about the liveability of the inner ? It may be the camera angle but at one point your head looked as if it was really close to the mesh. I was wondering how roomy it is in practice for taller hikers. Many thanks. All the best.
There is not that much room in the inner, you can sit up in the middle but because of the pyramid shape the sides slope downwards if you know what I mean. As for lying down I should think there is room for someone who is around the 6' 2-3in. The Tarpstar 1 is what it is I'm afraid. I plan on using it next time without the inner and that gives plenty of room inside. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@ysgolgerlan Thanks for responding. I am in pursuit of the eternal quest of lightness, space and comfort 😆. Alpkit do a Tarpstar 4 which is a little bit bigger but have not made a 1p inner to match its dimensions.
Did you connect the two poles together somehow or do they just meet in the middle and tensioning does the rest ? Thank you.
There is a pocket sewn into the center of the flysheet to accommodate the handle of your trekking pole but it is large enough to fit two, tension does the rest. Thanks for watching. 👍
Once again, stunning landscapes, skies, heavenly bodies and wildlife all captured brilliantly sir. The Alpkit shelter looks right at home amongst it, and a most palatial place to doss! Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed it. Cheers. 👍
Thank you kindly and thanks for watching. 👍
It looks like a nice tent, and lightweight. Thanks for sharing. Steve.
Does this mean the Lavuu has been demoted? 😢
No chance, you cannot beat the smell and feel of the canvas lavvu and I will keep it for winter use. It is quite heavy though and the Alpkit Tarpstar is ideal for lightweight trips. Diolch am gwylio. 👍
And stronger
The pyramid style of shelter is very good for tents and is quite strong even with the single pole, and as you commented, possibly stronger with two. Diolch am gwylio. 👍
@@ysgolgerlan Croeso 😀
Another gorgeous camping location and that tarp shelter looks great! That shot of the moon was incredible.- I've never been able to manage anything like that with either my phone or my GoPro.
Thank you. I shoot most of my videos using a (quite old by now) Panasonic camcorder which has x90 zoom, the model is a HC-V260 and is now discontinued. I use the GoPro for shots around camp where a wide angle is needed. Thanks for watching. 👍
Hope you didn’t get run over by a 4x4 in the night it looks like you picked in the middle of a track, I have just bought the 100
Nice one, but I'm not too sure about the Pasta Carbonara. 😉
I agree regarding the pasta, but it did the job I suppose. I usually take something that I have cooked at home. Thanks for watching. 👍
What a great video of what I imagine was a brilliant camp. That moon! Was it The Great Orme in the distance? Some lovely videography and a very relaxing watch, thanks for sharing! Rich 👍
Thanks, I thought that it did not go quite to plan as lost my glasses and also when editing, managed to lose a lot of footage of the camp fire and some early morning stuff. Apart from that it was quite enjoyable. Yes it was the Great Orme with the moon rising at around 6.00pm. I was also trying out my new OEX Fathom EV400 sleeping bag and found it to be a bit cold for this time of year, definitely not a 4 season bag. Thanks for watching. 👍
Go Dda Berwyn,hoffi'r set👍
Diolch @@trailsandalesfromwales3074 wedi copio un gefais o ebay ond sydd yn pacio i lawr yn llai. Gollais tipyn o videos wrth fod yn fler yn ystod yr editing, dim ots, mae gwanwyn ar ei ffordd. Diolch am gwylio. 👍
I enjoyed the nature, relics, feather and mushroom spotting in this one - lovely area - with pretty reflections at night as well. Shame it's a year by train from De Cymru!😁
Thank you. I also enjoyed filming this one, the area around the Menai Straits is very beautiful. Yes, I believe the train journey from South to North (and vice versa) can take a while. Thanks for watching. 👍
From one bike camper to another - nice video! - I prefer no talking ones personally - I ramble too much! Subbed!
Thank you. Although I am not really a bike camper, this is the first bike camp that I have done since the 1990's. I do have more camping trips involving the bike planned for this year though. Thanks for subscribing and for watching. 👍
Nice, chilling video...👍
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching. 👍
Really cool video thanks, how do you find cycling with a pannier on the Brompton rear rack?
I find that whilst riding my Brompton with a rear pannier bag fitted that my heel catches on the bag. I have now purchased a rack bag which is a bit better, although my heel still touches the bag occasionally. Thanks for watching. 👍
Looked fantastic. 👍
It was a very pleasant evening. Thanks for watching. 👍

Pure joy ❤ “Leave no trace”. I love this video, thank you for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Have you modified the foot end?
Well spotted. Yes I have made a little modification by sewing on three loops so that I can slide a short pole in thus lifting the bottom end off my feet. It stops the material from touching me when I am inside. Thanks for watching. 👍
That was enjoyable to watch. You have a good eye for pictorial composition! Very nice! 😊
Thanks for the kind comment and thanks also for watching. 👍
What in the 1950s is that camera quality
this looks like it's been filmed in 2006. I love it.
Maybe it's to do with the poor quality of the camera. Thanks for watching. 👍
Just for the pure simple adventure. Love it! 🙏🏽
Sometimes it is best to keep it nice and simple. Thanks for watching. 👍
The face at the end says it all ha ha ha.
Yes, I did look a bit miserable but I rather enjoyed the sound of the rain falling on the tarp. Thanks for watching. 👍
Lovely to see my old homeland. It's still windy l see. ♥️🏴♥️
Thanks for watching. It was not that windy, just that the microphone picks up too much wind noise. 👍

Very nice setup and a great spot! The sunset looked great. Also seems your sleeping pad inflates really quickly - I've got one of those mini electric pump things but I wonder if I'm doing something wrong now as it always seems to take ages for me!
Thanks for watching. To save on video time that clip was speeded up to x2 but it does inflate very quick, usually around a minute. 👍
@@ysgolgerlan Better use the Isolation Mat under the Bivi. Not inside. So you got more space.
@@herrfrohlich4223 Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching. 👍
👍
Thanks for watching.
That looked like a great spot, but sorry to see you had so many midges! I've used a similar tarp setup in the past and got a Sea to Summit (Nano?) Mosquito Pyramid Net to try and keep the bugs out. I always found it quite awkward to set up well and it often ended up in a tangled mess though. Perhaps I just needed to practice more. Weighs less than 100g and packs down to nothing though so it seemed like a good idea.
Thanks for watching. It was my fault really, going camping in their natural habitat. I checked out the spot last month and could not wait to go there. I will return later in the year as there is a nice hammock spot there also. 👍
Those DD tarps are brilliant - so adaptable. That sandwich looked really nice asw well. Great vodeo. Thanks Just subscribed to your channel
Yes the DD tarps are good, you could even throw it over you in an emergency. I enjoyed the home made sandwich, it saved a bit of cooking. Thanks for watching and subscribing. 👍
I love working up a good appetite and having a good sandwich during a hike - the two go together well!
That must have smelled amazing when heating
It did smell nice although a bit overwhelming. Thanks for watching. 👍
