Thank you for the mention Dan. Really appreciated.
OEX need to start paying you for your views on their gear mate, you clearly like it and on the items you don't, you always give constructive criticism or invite others to comment......which if OEX are watching will help improve their products and profits. You are basically doing their product testing and market research for them and are a good brand ambassador for their gear.
They could at least send you free gear to review and keep, I would if I was them.
Great tip mate, great video as always pal
Great video, Brother !
Great tip !
I have been doing that with my Eureka Solitaire for years.
Keep up the great work !!!
The channel is really picking up now mate! I love your honest opinion on equipment! Thanks.
Hi mate thankyou for watching my channel, I am very close to 20k
I've just order myself one. I've ordered some extra guy lines aswell thanks for the tip 👍
Good idea that. Thanks for the video, Dan.
That is a great idea i was watching hills not pills the other after seeing it on your facebook group mate atb stuart
That's a cracking idea. Lots of scope for variations, experimenting, as per other comments
Another well presented vid, just the job👍
That’s a great tip same as the Dutch Army Hooped Bivi except that’s side entry 👍🏻
That tip make a heck of a difference.
Great sharing tips and a simple fix Thanks
Put a quick release buckle on the cord. You can clip it once you’re in.
Just bought one and I was thinking the same. I also note that there are two hooks at the bottom of the outer door which I think should be attached to guys to allow ventilation. Some quick release arrangement might be required.
Glad I watched this before buying it. It's packed down size isn't that much smaller than my one man tent. I thought it would be way smaller.
You can pack the bivvy itself down to about half the size of the sack they supply.
Watching older vids I'm thinking of getting the hammock from oex bit my go outdoors don't sell the tarps so I might just get a cheap tarp from online
Slight mod to this idea works great : thin Dyneem line going out in a triangular way from that top hoop to the pegs for the headend
If you run the cord to trekking pole first then to the ground , might give better headroom Dan. Liking the look of that Bivi 👍🏻 atb Dave
Dan you can harvest a pole and run the guideline you have hear then just peg out the pole....job done and no problem getting in and out mate ✋
Great idea Dan though if you go with 2 cords tied from that point coming down as a V it'll do the same job and you won't have a line in your way when you get it. Take care cheers Karl
Can you set that cord off to the side about 7 inches that might give you a little more room or one way or the other I don’t know it’s a thought
Fella whats it like for condensation and is it roomy as im a 6 foot wide arse?.
another idea to get the cord out of your way for getting in and out would be if you set up near a tree you could tie the cord to the tree at a high angle
That top rope is a great idea. Pity there aren’t any loops on the sides about halfway up. Would keep the hoop up AND the entrance clear. Maybe you could try swing a comment their way. That looks like a really nice bivy tho. Been thinking of getting one to use under my Hilleberg tarp, or even my Hennessey Hex tarp.
My jack wolfskin gossamer 1 and the Snugpak ionosphere already have this built in to them as standard 👍🏻
Wolf's Head tbh is there ANY difference between them ? I have the moss coloured so it’s pretty stealthy
There's no reason why you can't tie the cord to a tree or a pole. That way it could be much higher up and out of your way.
Hi mate thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment
Good video
Maybe tie to a tree
But I still don't know how you zip it all up when your in it
🤣😅😂 The door could have been made a hell of a lot better I'm sure 👍🏼
If camping near trees you could get the same taught effect by attaching some paracord to a tree, it could make it easier for getting in and out of the bivi, you just have to make sure you don't garrotte yourself on the paracord
Hi mate your 100% about the tree,
Thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment
I love mine wudnt change it, the guy line on the front however is ot needed at all, dosent really give any improvements.
Is the sack it comes with waterproof or resistant got one of these last week as wanted something that would be harder to see from a distance when wild camping
I think it might to water resistance but then it's got like a rubber coating on the inside
Cheers I was just wondering because when you put it in the sack it be better with a zip or something the way you have to fold it and use the clip isn't the best but can't wait to try it
Were can I get a salamander hoop bivvy
Tie to a stick or hiking pole or just peg slightly to right or left side so it's not in the way ...atb welsh chris
Hi dan,I watched your video concerning the torches,,, i purchased a torch similar to yours but not the head torch!, anyway the one I bought was from amazon,, the name on it is BINKE ,,,I’m telling ya it’s absolutely fantastic,it cost just under £13 plus normal delivery, it’s 2000 lumens,just over 5”long,comes with 2 rechargeable battery’s and charger into usb,plus a cartridge that can hold 3 AAA BATTERIES ,it’s got 5 settings and you can zoom just by sliding the head up or down!! Just 1 rechargeable battery will last 4/5 hrs constant use,,,it’s got a good weight about it as well!!! It’s a brilliant tool mate,you should check it out seriously,,anyway because of the lockdown I’ve managed to at last book up for a bit of wild camping in Herefordshire 4th July,,bring it on,,take care be good,, Andy
Hi mate please don't talk about the oex head torch it pissess my off its that shit, could you get me a link to the torch your telling me about
Oh forgot to say ,when I was emailing the owner of the land that I’m going to camp on,he was saying that the government have said that provisionally that camping will start on the 6th of July ,I don’t know if you know that,just thought I’d let you know mate!,!
Hi Dan,the details I’ve got on the box are,product name;Torcia LED,, bar code is X001497U3,modelYYZ-001.oh and I spelt it wrong,on the torch it’s spelt BinKe hope that helps ya mate,and seriously it’s the dogs,,you can light summat up at 100metres with the fine beam just by sliding the head up or down
I would imagine you could just put that line slightly off to one side and still get the benefit but not have it get in the way? , how have you found this condensation wise, debating buying one. Cheers
Hi mate the first time I used it there was a lot of condensation but the two last night none at all
English Woodsman, how bad we talking like did your sleeping bag get badly wet in the night etc? Was the first night Coker or something?
@@27walker27 hi mate it was not badly wet but what we need to think about is wet all shit different temperatures
Which suffers from condensation the most or Geertop 2 or salamander ?
Geertop mate 100%
@@englishwoodsman i was hoping you'd say that cheers Dan you testing all this gear you make our lives easier when buying new gear many thanks mate and keep the vids coming mate 👍
I'd prefer a side opening door tbh
I would try this but I’m afraid the loop might rip off
Just to see me try it a couple of times mate
English Woodsman yes, ok 👍
Any one selling one of these
that's what it's there for.....
It's there to tie the door up mate
@@englishwoodsman ...on most hooped bivvi's / bivi's there are one or sometimes 2 loops along the pole sleeve to guy out for extra stability that is an external guy out point...normally the door ties will be on the side / inside.
No mate,, maybe OK should take a look at other options when making there next one
If the weather was really bad cook you cook a small meal in this bivvy?
That's not a good idea mate
English Woodsman Yeah,but what if the weather is really,really bad and you can’t get out the bivvy?
I dont mean to sound a smart arse but would'nt that of been its purpose having that tab there to keep it taught.
No mate it's to tie the door up,
You are better with two lines
Needs a shock cord instead, that's not a guy point!
Hi Dan , hope you are well lad , How is the condensation in the Salamanda ? Is it manageable ? I watched Tom Outdoors do a video th-cam.com/video/NaR5GcT22f0/w-d-xo.html on another bivi tent and the condensation was pretty bad but the materials used on that were not breathable at all . I used to have a highlander Falcon bivi tent which was ok but they are not made anymore . Prefer and non hooped bivi now days as I can breathe out of the bag but have to use a tarp to keep the elements out.
Hi mate one night it was bad, then the other night when I had a tarp over it there was none
Hi mate it's a completely different bivvi so it's have Comment about the different condensation
@@englishwoodsman I find the same used with a tarp I seem to get much less condensation. Sometimes they can wet out in torrential rain or dewy mornings and though still waterproof the wetting out stops the vapour transfer from inside causing condensation inside.
@@englishwoodsman Yeah I know Dan but was meaning how is the material on the Salamanda ? Does it feel like cloth or plastic ? I like the way you can vent on yours it may work well in windy conditions .
@@fellandmoor54 it's neither of them mate, I don't know what it's called to be honest
Just my opinion but I'm guessing that's what the little loop is for.
Hi mate it's there to tie the door up
@@englishwoodsman sorry mate didn't realise it was for the door. Well that's a bloody good tip then. Keep the vids coming 👍
Hi mate I am always happy for my subscribers to ask questions, thankyou for watching my channel its all nice to see yout comment
@@englishwoodsman cheers Dan, let's hope this lockdown ends soon and you can get out and film some videos. P. S keep the cooking videos coming, they're my favourite 👍
