Nice! I'm glad I found your channel. It's been too hot for me to go camping here for a little while so it's nice to at least be able to watch other people getting out in the wild for a nice camp. I miss my fort in the woods but I can't be going out there and getting heat illness like I have done a couple of times just because I yearned for the woods.
Yes the heat is an issue, particularly when carrying heavy kit to and from camp, for me anyway. Need to take extra water too which makes the trek even more of an effort. Thanks for watching 👍
@@guerrillashadowman Yeah I can't go out if it's going to be hotter than 80 F. I've tried and gotten myself all sick even when I went out early and hid from the heat under trees during the hot part of the day. It's just not safe for me to do for mere recreation. Gotta know your limitations.
I found it on eBay 2 years ago, they do turn up occasionally and in fact I saw one recently on ebay so search under SAS militaria. prices are often over £100 here in the UK.
I put my sleeping pads underneath this bivy (with a light groundsheet protecting it). Then simply either use lightweight small pegs (or make some from local wood), two on each side to prevent the pad from sliding out. Doing it this way means you can use any thickness pad you like whilst having a bit more room inside. The one thing I wish this bivy had is straps to hold pads in place underneath (same as the dutch army bivy).
yes it is a shame they didn’t put the straps underneath like the Dutch. with air pads I’m always concerned about bursting them as I tend to pitch in some thorny areas. as you say having a sheet to protect the mat is a good idea I’ll have to try.
Compression bags messed up the loft on one of my bags. Stopped using them, just stuff bag into waterproof bag in bergan. Fills all the corners.
yeah I haven’t used them for years so just been trying it again really.
