Wish I had known about (if they were made) these camping mattresses. Not slept in a bivi bag since my teens in the late 90s going on weekend fishing trips. I guess bivi bag technology has come a long way since the army surplus bags from the 90s that felt so heavy and horrible to pack away
You must have been well insulated to have frost on your sleeping bag. Coldest night I've experienced my wet boots were frozen solid on the morning and I couldn't get them on. I had to hobble about until they melted enough for my feet to go all the way in. That said, the day before, our drinking tubes had frozen by about 1pm. On our way home in the morning it went from light snow to a white out in 10 minutes and about 30 minutes later we were losing our route under drifting snow. This was during mini beast from the east on Dartmoor about 5 years ago.
I must have been :D I don't think it could have handled it if the temperature had dropped further. It must have been super cold to have your boots frozen solid. I couldn't imagine wild camping during the Beast from the East :o
Yo Keitei I was almost gonna give you hell for not rating the camp but you snuck it in at the end!!! The sunrise was awesome. You're a real tough cookie being out there in the frosty morning. I'm giving the video a 10/10 because of the barn owl!
Haha I forgot to do it when I was out so quickly added it in when I was editing. It was a great camp, I hope to see more owls in the future though. Loved the sunrise!
Great video, I have the Hunka xl bivi but still too small to put my exped dura 8r inside. Nowt like a frosty morning to start the day! Liked and Subscribed.
Lovely evening Keitei and approach in. A good chance to talk about plans and reaffirm direction. I need to camp more to. The book appears interesting - you're an avid reader. Well, what a morning - a fair fresh day ahead. Love it! And wow owls in the night. All the best for the week ahead. Mark
Thank you for watching Mark, glad you enjoyed the wild camp. It was a good get away and I was lucky with the weather and the sunrise. I try to read often and enjoy having a good book when I spend it under the stars.
What area were you at. I thought Exmoor at first but you wouldn't have seen a sunrise over the sea there,. So Yorkshire would be my guess. Thank you for posting.
As teenagers we used to drink bulmars cider and rough it up the fields, penycae north Wales, in cheap Woolworths sleeping bags, we'd wake up 5am shivering with cold, probably close to hyperthermic looking back now,😂😂❤ good old 80s. It's probably why I love a warm bed now 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for asking - I've only just got it out for this winter and it is that old the labels have worn off :o so I'm afraid, I don't know...I've had it for ages though so they probably don't make them any more.
@Keitei Ventures it depends where you go, the west coast of British Columbia. You'll need good rain gear, Alberta. You'll need a bag that's good to -50 lol
I've never seen an owl in the wild, not in 30+ years of wood walks and later, camping. I hear them but have never seen one. A Red Kite has appeared round my way now, trying to attack the smaller birds. The Ravens, Seagulls and Pigeons chase it off. It was pretty magical to see. East London too. I also saw my first hedgehog in about 15yrs 2 weeks ago. They used to be a regular thing. A fox was stalking it so I made a point of going out and shooing it away. Of course it just looked at me like I was an idiot. Their so emboldened. I ended up chasing down my street and around the bit of green out front. Running after it. It was only 23:15 a night and I was in my slippers. I'm sure it didn't look weird.
Ah I endeavour to film some of the local owls near me, I hear them often and hopefully with the lighter twilight hours I should see them. True, even though I live rurally, I haven't see a hedgehog in a while, I think they are in decline :(
Hi Keitei, your adventures are something I can only Dream of. As a Carer my time is spoken for. yet the idea of just putting down a Bivvy upon a distant field just takes my breath away. To sleep and awaken in Synch with nature, just feel right. 😊
Im a carer too and this video is lovely and inspiring.. however dont underestimate other things you can do to really help you relax. Today I did wild swimming and the cold water took all my stress away.. I did this between my caring responsibilities.. find the way to get your adventure, life has to continue xx
@NBFILMS2009 I'm told I have a creative eye, I like photography (black and white is such an underrated medium). I like movement in photos, odd as that sounds, and photography like all Arts enable a person to Interpret reality in a unique way. As well as lyric writing... wild swimming. AHmazing
Thank you for checking out my video :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you're able to get out and enjoy nature - waking up being surrounded by it is amazing.
@KeiteiVentures there's a point when we become separate from our mundane lives and kinda leave it behind. That's why I liked wild camping, its the sense of returning 'home' :)
Hi there Keitei what a great channel you have! Im afraid iv only found you today whilst searching for a bivi bag camp - perhaps a few extra tags on the video might assist in your discoverability? Its great to see someone who is down to earth doing what they enjoy and documenting it for others to see in a proper grassroots manner.
Thank you for checking out my videos and for the top tip, will add more tags to my videos :) Do enjoy getting out on simple wild camps, can't wait for drier weather, cheers :)
Great video, simple and honest👍 So relatable as a year long bivvy bagger 😊 To experience Nature so close with Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset and small visitors is awesome 👌
I guess they could have that affect but no more than a sleeping bag. Perhaps a big one might be a bit easier to use and ease the thoughts of being claustrophobic?

#wildcamping #wildcampinguk #camping
Brilliant.
Thank you 😊
Great stuff, I feel cold just watching!
It was a cold but once I was hibernating it was thankfully warm :)
Like it! somebody normal on TH-cam, not pushing expensive kit and out in normal clothes and guess what you survived, all the best for the future!
Cheers Sparky, glad you enjoyed the wild camp :)
Can't go wrong with a simple camp.
Beautiful video. You give off such positive vibes, I really enjoyed that.
Thank you for watching and saying Jamie.
Do enjoy a simple wild camp.
Great vid. 🌞⛺
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I bet the stars, looked awesome.❤
They did look amazing :)
That sun rise was beautiful, im thinking of starting to bivvy camp in the spring/summer time, got to say it looks really good and peaceful
You should! It is a completely different experience 😊 hope you enjoy it
Love the tin of Ravioli. :)
I was ready for it after my hike. :)
Love this. Thats a lot of frost on your sleeping bag. I bet you didnt want to get out of it
Yep, I was pretty snug in there :)
When you get your tiny house stove sorted, you can defrost in front of it after these trips :)
I can't wait :D! 🔥❄️
Great video. Love from Minnesota, USA. You're really cute too. Just sayin.. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Mark, haha thank you for saying :)
Semplicemente vero,semplice e simpatico. Complimenti.
Grazie mille :)
Bag looked a bit tight. I have never slept in one. I have been thinking about a hooped version.
Yes, with the inflatable mat, my winter sleeping bag and my fleece liner it is pretty tight.
As much as I love winter camping, I do look forward to warmer weather.
Put your boots in a dry bag please 👢🙏
Cool camp. The good thing about being out in the cold is no fly's and midge's. 👍🏴
Definitely, it was a bug free night.
just done my first of the year, on top of thors cave in the Peaks. Are you on Dartmoor ?
Oo great, love the Peak District - I was in the north of England.
Wish I had known about (if they were made) these camping mattresses. Not slept in a bivi bag since my teens in the late 90s going on weekend fishing trips.
I guess bivi bag technology has come a long way since the army surplus bags from the 90s that felt so heavy and horrible to pack away
I only started using my inflatable mattress and I noticed a huge difference in temperature after being off the floor.

It was a great wild camp, think it was the limit for my gear though :p

@@KeiteiVentures A pleasure Keitei - it was another good one. Reading under the stars. Great for information retention no doubt. Peace.

Woolworths sleeping bags. I still have mine and a non-waterproof dome tent. Kept for nostalgia reasons. Absolute crap though.
Great days!😂
Hi keiti I completed the Lyke wake walk on Tuesday afternoon. I could have bumped into you.
Haha true, it looks like a great hike, it's on my to-do list
10 out of 10, not many men could do what you did, like i said before go for it girl 💪👌
Thank you :)
love the video! not sure if you mentioned it in the video if you did i apologise, whats your bivvy and bag of choice? ta :)
Thank you for watching 😊
I will check, I plan on making a gear video of my kit 👍 🏕️
Only just found your channel. What sleeping bag us that? Looks a good warm one x
Thanks for asking - I've only just got it out for this winter and it is that old the labels have worn off :o so I'm afraid, I don't know...I've had it for ages though so they probably don't make them any more.
Very special sunrise,looked awesome.Yeah i can see your kit was up to the cold,decent frost on you.
The sunrise was great :)! I was so happy to catch it.
I was lucky my kit managed, think it might have hit it's limit though.
You should come to do a winter camp in Canada! You'll love it! I promise!
That would be great :D
I might need better winter gear though haha
@Keitei Ventures it depends where you go, the west coast of British Columbia. You'll need good rain gear, Alberta. You'll need a bag that's good to -50 lol
Go for it girl 💪👍
Thank you for checking out my video :)
Breath of fresh air watching this.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊

Do you not have a tent?
I do have a tent but sometimes I like to sleep outside in the open.

I’m a cared for person. Love the videos. Can’t get out anymore so I live my dreams through videos like yours.
God bless 😊
This is the best walking channel.....for sure.
Aww thank you so much, you're too kind.
Great wild camp! Beautiful place. Nice video. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thank you for commenting, glad you enjoyed it :)
Cool video, just come across your channel, very enjoyable indeed, stunning views, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
Cheers for watching and leaving a comment Craig, I think the sunrise, moonset and the owl were the best moments for me :)

Always carry a few solid fuel tabs and a pack of foil or Coghlin type stove to burn them on for when the gas runs out.
Thank you for the tip :)
Great video, simple and honest👍 So relatable as a year long bivvy bagger 😊 To experience Nature so close with Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset and small visitors is awesome 👌
It was a lovely wild camp, I was lucky with the sunrise and the moonset :D!
Thanks for the book idea, I just got it for my Kindle.
You're welcome :)
Hope you enjoy it.
Great video and very nice camp!
Cheers :) 🏕️
inspirational. Great video.🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
awesome video folk,s. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching 🙂
@@KeiteiVentures keep it up good work. Thanks for sharing your epic video.
Brave women frosty
Cheers 😁 it was pretty frosty ❄️
i enjoyed this video, nice camping with just a bivi
Thank you for watching and saying James. Yes, I like the ease and light-weight option that a bivi bag involves :)
i have thought about getting @@KeiteiVentures a bivi bag, but am concerned with the clostrophic effect
I guess they could have that affect but no more than a sleeping bag. Perhaps a big one might be a bit easier to use and ease the thoughts of being claustrophobic?
Waking up covered in frost looked incredible
It was pretty amazing :)
