A Bivy with a guest in a Northumberland Forest

- I joined up with Graham Basnett for a hike and Bivy camp, we were to hike between two points leaving a car at each, but due to family circumstances the cars had to be in one place in case a getaway was reqd.
So we ended up doing a tour of a Forest for Graham, we camped in a familiar spot, we had a few vehicles pass, and some shouting followed shortly after, we thought oh no spotted, but no, it was Jimmy and Rooney from Lundys Wildcamp/ bushcraft who popped in for a brew.
It ended up a thoroughly enjoyable Bivy camp.

Cracking Adrian, always fascinating to see another perspective on a camp. Thanks for the best spot as well 👍. Love your description of my ‘rather garish trousers’ 😂😂
Hi Graham, that was my cheeky bit after your blatant channel plug ha ha see you next time, it was a good camp.
Cheers
Enjoy the journey with you guys. Leave no trace for sure. Agree leave it better than you found it. The low profile tent looks great and want to try it. Great crew. What are the chances of YT convention in the woods! 👍New friend here looking forward to watching more. Thanks 🤠
Hi and thanks for popping along, loving the forest at the moment, midges have finished,
Cheers
Nice hiking and forest.
Hi and thanks for popping by
The forest is great and so peaceful
Cheers
Great trip out for you guys. Best wishes for your adventures in the new year.
Hi and thanks for watching, itching to be out as I write !!!
Cheers
You and graham should do ‘what in the bag’
Showing what you both took
To have a 10 kilo difference
Another collaboration
Would be interesting to see
That would have been a great idea !!!mind I remembered warm clothes and extra clothes but still 10kg !!!!
Enjoyed the adventure a good watch. Makes me want to get out 👍
Hi thanks, no excuse you have to get out
Cheers
Excellent Bivvi camp Adrian nice to see how graham packs so lightly ?
I’m with you got to get the pack weight down 👍😊
ATB Simon
Hi Simon, thanks for popping by, his rucksack was 850 my winter sack is 2.3 alone !! My lighter bag is 1.3 so that’s the lightest I could go as I like a proper frame. So that’s my starting point, mind he forgot coats. Gloves and warm clothes !!!but still the difference is vast, I have a task lol
Cheers Adrian
@@northumberlandmountainhopper that is a challenge m8t 😊👍 ATB
Sound video pal.. looks a good one 👍🤙
Hi and thanks, it was chilled and what a surprise when Jimmy and Rooney showed up! Midweek as well !
Cheers
The alpkit hunka does condensate so I sold mine , I use the US MSS gortex bag with full zip on side for access, I also have the British army gortex bag they are both excellent. 900g each in weight.
Hi and thanks for watching
Will check out the us bag as a full zip sounds nice with old joints !!!!!
Cheers
Nice one, nice to meet up with you , shame jimmy lowered the tone😁 did you know you had a tampon stuk in your ear 👀😁👍atb Rooney
Hi and thanks for the company it was pleasant, ha ha that’s my cheapo Mike to be honest it’s windproof so why pay top money !!!!
Hope to see you again
Cheers Adrian
That must be your fave spot 👍
Hi and yes, enjoying that spot as peaceful and scenic, but time for a change !!!
Cheers
Looks an interesting spot does Garwood, the last place left in Northumberland I'm yet to explore
Harwood even🤣
@@Markwildcamp well no excuse get in there !! It’s perfect in this weather as no midge and sheltered from a lot of weather, not so good for a tent, I could point out a spot or two
Cheers Adrian
Harwood bushcraft branch meeting 2022 is now in session
Hi and thanks for popping by , yes it was a meet !! Could not believe it when the shouting was jimmy and Rooney!
Cheers
What limit weather do you Recomend for tarp and bivvi ? ?? Hail and heavy rain . Wind moderate?. Would you consider this a four season set up all year round?
Hi and thanks for popping by, tarp and bivy ok for any weather, just the wind makes it hard, normally In the The wind I use a 140x140 magic carpet just to cover my head, just hard to pack up if it’s raining, bivy is warm inside but not so pleasant in cold wind.
Cheers
A 4m x 4m tarp gives you more setup flexibility and better protection from the elements.
You can fold it under to make a ground sheet and stop the wind
@@sahhull makes sense. Truth is i got a goretex bivvy - no need for tarp in bad unpredictable weather . . But if just day hike was in a storm last week and ised an aframe tarp very low and limpet like against the wind . Location was important above flash floods where i am located
What's the difference in weight between the two bags?
Hi there, thanks for popping by,army 800 hunka x/l 500.grams
@@northumberlandmountainhopper Thanks for that....that's where some of your additional 10kg is coming from then because the Elan is approx 1000g BUT the army bivi is HUGE which also has its advantages.
@@mphgps7 The Elan is bug proof though .
@@davidyendoll5903 I have the Elan....love it, I bought it for the bug proof element, sometimes I feel like I'm cheating for not using a traditional bivi bag🤔
Is it safe to be having fire in a forest?
Hi and thanks for watching, yes using the fire box the way we did it, it was in a box and raised off the floor, on the three fat logs, we would never have a fire on the ground, and the proper campers who do, dig it out and go down to hard ground,not like that one we stumbled on which was on the top.
Incidentally that’s only the second video of mine where the fire box is used,I normally just camp as fires are hard work !
Cheers
Drink liquor it’s lighter to carry to get your pack weight down.
Hi and thanks for the happy comment, shorts are lighter !
