Sub Zero Tarp and Bivy Camp 

Just re-watching your videos for inspiration and comfort. The previous comment from 'Helen' was from a combined channel with my lovely partner Emma. Sadly she is no more...on 10th May she suffered a total cardiac arrest and died in my arms. So....needing inspiration and to be honest some comfort from the familiar, so re-watching your vids. Just keep on as you are....so inspiring...thank you for sharing your time out. Helen.

Another cracking camp ...I'm getting thru the vids slowly but surely cheers mate !

Looked a nice spot that mate freezing cold one 🥶 🏕 👍

Woodland looks great with that heavy frost on it, nice camp mate 👍

Well done Adrian, brilliant video I love watching this type of camping and a lovely spot to camp too I hope you slept well.

Adrian, this video is just perfect , great content and editing. I watched the last video twice . I finally think I have seen a better way of camping out with minimal fuss. Showing us the gear you use is priceless, it’s so useful.

Nice video. I like all the explanation about the sleeping bag the mat and all the different things that you're wearing.🙂

Nothing beats a bivy camp in the frost. Cracking bit of woodland. I was a bit worried when i saw the foil mat under the bivy but then you said you had your xped mat in your bivy and I was relieved... that would have been a bitter night without it. I'm also no fan of sleeping in my clothes. I didn't think that sleeping bag would of been OK tbh, but like you said it's all experimental with the kit and you have to try these things otherwise how would you know for sure. Great camp and you're never too old to play in the woods. And Merry Christmas Ade👍✌️👌👊💥

Great stuff Adrian, love a frosty little camp. Looking forward to getting back out with you soon…

Nice little camp there Adrian.. can't beat being out this time of year..ATB Lincoln 👍🤙

Hi there, new subscriber here. Wow… that’s brave bivvy camping in the winter. Good stuff 😊

Nice one , looked rather fresh but did the trick 🥶👍

Very enjoyable But I'll keep my saitaris tent and me snugpak Antarctic re sleeping bag 👍

Hiya. Really enjoyed watching that. Minimum kit and having a good experience out. Always an education watching your vids 👍

I'm enjoying your videos. You might want to try that experiment again, but this time removing your down jacket and placing it as an extra covering over your sleeping bag. It works better. Also, any spare clothing, place in the bottom of the bivi bag to reduce the amount of air that needs heating up. Enjoyed it. Thank you

hey mate, great setup. Have you thought about using a fleece liner to boost the temperature rating one the 400? I use the sea to summit one and its brilliant. Hardy

Camping in these cold temps keep you young! 🙂

Cracking video, just come across your channel, and subbed, sweet setup, lovely location too, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

Here in the PNW (Seattle), where the winters are wet. It can feel even colder with a little drop in temp to the mid 30’s F (-1C), It can feel especially cold with the higher moisture content here. Which is probably similar to your area over there. Working construction in the 80’s I had learned to use a vitamin to help my body give me a little boost in heat. I would take niacin and break it in half and take it through the morning till I could get my feet warmed up. After they got warmed up with the niacin then my activity would get the blood flowing. Niacin (they say) disclaimer! Opens up the capillaries in our cardiovascular system. So I basically was getting a head start with the niacin. But take to much of it I would get really hot and then felt colder through the day, like a match flaming up and out. So I learned, less is more, and as time went on my system took the cold better.

That looked parky Adrian 🥶 But what a super spot you had m8t (the ice on the tarp in the morning don’t lie 🙌🙌❄️) Best wishes Simon 😊🙏🏼

Cheers and merry Christmas to you. 👍🍻

Same kit as me mate apart from the stove and the sleeping bag awesome set up

Nice woodland that Adrian its definitely getting cold now mate was around -6 at camp last night atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Good job I got all summer to try me kit out. Does temperature make a bivvi bag more or less prone to condensation? Another beautiful location and video, great job.

Great video, thanks for sharing

I’m doing the Tommy sleep out in march I may do the same set up

Hello there. Is that foam mat one of the £15-20 ones with reflective coating on AMZ? When you said the ground was still frozen underneath you, I thought that was a good sign. I have just bought a bivy and am looking around for ideas. Subbed.

Looks like a great night out, you won't beat the NeoAir XTherm pad for v cold winter camping, a new quiet one comes out soon, but these are great for keeping you warm with lighter gear so wonder if it would work for you and the lighter bag? We run our get home bags with these and Hyperion -6 bags as they are light, with a bivvy over the top. Might be worth a look if you want warmth but not the weight?

Nice change to see a video without A10 minute preamble and some useful info

Nice

Larger tarp, and its not illegal to have two sleeping bags or quilts in my case. aqua quest safari tarp in boulder camo 9*9. .

nice one

I struggle to understand the point of camping this way in winter. You can buy a more robust, better weather protection, warmer, and no heavier tent. If you’re going to use a bivi why not at least use a tarp that gives total cover. Try putting chemical hand warmers in your boots overnight and plug them with something to reduce heat loss (I use my thermal mattress stuff sack). If you use a Nalgene bottle, fill it with hot water and use it as a hot water bottle - it also means you have liquid water in the morning and not a block of ice.

Y set in the lowest point,

How is that global warming thing going for Britain
