Do you Experience Claustrophobia in a Bivy Bag

- Wild camping with a bivvy bivouac bag in rain and misty weather
My original plan was just to use the MLD FKT bivvy bag and no tarp, as it happened I had just received my DCF Monk tarp so thought let's play pitching it so it gave a bit of cover but given it was facing wrong way it gave very little to no actual cover against rain ingress and I had to do it up or try to do it up...

Hi and you can’t beat a tarp and bivy can’t remember the last tent camp I did !!!!
Cheers
I've got the USMC IBC, amazing zippy window with a flexible metal frame holding the bug net and window off my face. Great to be snug and see outside.
Really enjoying you’re videos Tony , extremely glad I’ve found this channel. Very asmr feel to your work . Keep it up pal 👍🏼🦉
Thanks Scotf very nice to hear 😊 take care
This type of camping was traditionally the reserve of tinklers and travellers first sign of bad weather and such fair weather chancers are all at sea
Bivvy bags are ok if used under a tarp. Having it fully zipped up is an issue - not only for condensation but if you start farting you'll end up gassing yourself...😂
Yup exactly very deadly then lol 😆
a bivvy is a great thing when your in trouble... or on a light camp in winter...just think this is a test for our coffin size...lol great vlog brother
Yeah practice for the final journey 😆
Going by this I'd wake up 😆 absolutely correct i got it to put in pack for emergency like my trip with Chris last year and we packed up at midnight
Huck Middeke suggests that we should sleep with the sleeping bag/bivi snugged up around our necks with a balaclava and hat as necessary. This allows you to turn over etc without heat loss and avoids moisture building up inside your bag/bivi.
Won't we get even wetter from rain getting in
Its called anxiety. no doubt brought on by the thought of being clubbed in the night confined in a body bag.
Yea, thats how I feel so keep my head outside no matter what.
Good tarp always handy when using a bivi.
Yes absolutely agree. I've used with tarp over head plenty but yeah done up doesn't work for me I've tried twice now. I discuss in another when I tried. Great comment thank you 😊
I always like a tent that is big so i can move around ❤
Absolutely agree that's the best option most of the time 😀
Ever since I woke up in the small hours to the sound of someone playing with themselves outside my tent, I`ve always used a tarp in order to be able to quickly confront any weirdo I might encounter. I was in a small 2 man tent at the time and thought if the guy hears me pulling door zippers open, he could simply pull out a couple of pegs and make the tent collapse with me stuck inside like a fish caught in a net, so I waited until he left before looking around for him (didn`t find him unfortunately).
@@HelmutSchmacker. You really need to camp far away from everyone
As you know, the Soul bivvy has a zip-in piece of mosquito netting. With that in place, I'm happy to close the bivvy bag. I've never tried sleeping without using it because I always have a tarp or a Trailstar to block the wind when I'm bivvying so rain is unlikely to get me. On my most recent outing, I was woken at 4am when an updraught blew, for a few minutes, straight through the mosquito netting. I rarely close my sleeping bag (inside the bivvy bag or in a tent) because my breath condenses on the outer fabric if I do. There was no condensation anywhere when I was rudely awakened by that 30mph blast coming straight uo the cliffs off the North Atlantic.
How much mat do we really need on soft British turf? I'm stunned by what people carry these days - two mats, one of them inflatable, and a blow up pillow weighing on its own as much as my Pocket tarp. I started camping back in 1968. Karrimats might have been invented by them but, if so, I hadn't heard about it so I slept matless and continued doing that until I discovered bothies with their hard sleeping surfaces. I have a NeoAir and an Apex Thermarest, respectively for summer and winter bothy trips, but I usually just take a torso sized piece of foam matting. It's enough if the turf is good. One significant benefit of a piece of closed-cell foam is that it tends to reduce the amount of movement of the bivvy in the night. Using the NeoAir inside an MLD Bug Bivvy, I tended to wake with the NeoAir on top of me. That doesn't happen with foam.
BTW, does anyone know how to spell bivvy? My spell checker objects to everything I've tried, including bivy and bivi.
I'm a southern softie I definitely need an air mat or similar lol absolutely agree you probably seen all my Soul eVent bivy bivvy bivi who knows lol camps mesh is perfect. I never use it under a full tarp not needed imo but as part of a tarp over head set up it's perfect. The MLD SUL bivys are perfect for a full tarp . Some do like just foam but not for me lol
Fab comment thanks 😊
@@TonyHobbs Thank you for the entertaining videos.
I would only use in emergency
Yes I'd agree esp without tarp over head
@@TonyHobbs yeah true a tarp over makes sense
I love bivvies and there simplicity but cant ever zip them up,like you. Have used an umbrella over head end before,or tarp for best experience.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I agree . They fine if head out or open. But I get hot bothered and stressed done up 😆
I've got a highlander hawk bivvy bag with a bug net that you zip in. I haven't used it yet. I'm a bit worried about the amount of times I will have to get out of it in the night for a pee now that I have have turned 53 my bladder isn't what it used to be 😮😢😅
I'm 52 and basically stand up and stand on bivy usually foot end and go overboard saves shoes or hassles just careful with drips but tbh I don't worry if odd drop lands just give rinse at home and or rain helps. Same in tent I go in porch. Just no real need to get out. Poops different 😆
@@TonyHobbs I prefer an empty plastic bottle with a wide top
That works. I just save by not taking it and knowing it just goes in grass out the way not affecting me at all plus I copied CT if it's fine for him definitely fine for me lol
Never tried one, though I can say half an hour in an MRI is my limit...
Never been in one though can imagine from this I too many memories from my (first) late wife who passed 14 years ago that they not much fun to be in. Hope you're OK.
@@TonyHobbs Sorry for your loss, I didn't know. I think everything's ok, but long wait times at the mo... I know I couldn't have spent any more time in that machine, probably much worse than a bivy as you can't just get out by yourself.
Thank you. Yeah cancer unfortunately and 14 years ago still feels like yesterday but we get out and on with it. I am sure MRI even worse esp with the noise. Take care and thanks for watching my little fun corner of CZcams.
