Carrie has a natural way of presenting that is enticing. Her earnest dialogue fits comfortably with the landscape. She shows us that adventures exist on our doorstep as well as further away. Her joy of the wild is infectious and is kindly shared.
It's a great bit of kit had one for a few years now great little woods to camp in carrie and good to see your channel getting back up there atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Shows how stealthy you were to be trampled on. Well done 👍🏻 I looked long and hard at Snugpak Just got a Jack Wolfskin Gossamer11 for room, a little bit of stealth and for versatility. Can sleep just with the mesh under the stars ✨ Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻👍🏻
I don't own the Snugpak but I do own a lot of bivys. Been using them for years, often with a small tarp or poncho for cover and it is hands down my favorite method of camping.
Hi there pretty lady Carrie. Glad your out in the woodlands again enjoying the fresh air. You and Becky (at Girl Outdoors) pick the best music for your videos. Smaller tents will keep the warmth in better. Could have been an alien space creature that stepped on your bag. Laughing! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to many more. Have a great day.
Just found your channel and loving the content! I have this one and the bigger brother. This bivvy is as low-profile as it gets, but you have to have a plan for concealing your pack if you are not 100% sure it will be there in the morning. I pack a small camo net from a collection of woodland, moorland, autumn etc. Then I steak it to the floor around the bag. No getting that out quietly. You also need to be ready for the condensation that *will* be soaking your sleeping bag exterior in the morning, as this fabric is not breathable and hugs your body so no air-flow. Accept if in a hurry you are packing away a wet bag, and therefore avoid down bags or blankets, then it's awesome. Ohh also, anyone else reading, if you are a 6ft old fat-ass like me, then be aware that thick sleeping pads mean the end of this thing really hugs your feet, so turning in the night is awkward.
Ey up ... nice one 👍.... looks like a great bit of kit.... I have the Rab Ridge Raider very similar.... its the way to go for ultra stealthy wild camping.... lovin your channel...👍👍👍
Hopefully all is good over in the UK. Haven't seen anything for while, working on the premise that no news is good news! Best regards from the USA 🇺🇸 Si a Brit over the pond.
I bivvy but in the Alpkit version. Love it. However it's always out in the open hills. I'd crap myself if something walked over me! You've convinced me it's hammocks only in the woods 😂
Enjoy listening to Carrie. english is not my first language. Sensory augmentation echos the unique english style and accent. The speech sounds like music, to me. I dont know why, yet. Appreciate the way Carrie shares her feelings, insights, thoughts and sensations. Carrie shows personal depth. I am delighted to find out that brits dont fall short from the americans. Easier for me , to relate to. I would not be surprised if i would discover more aspects of the british english, that excell over the american english. there is no doubt, in sensory augmentation, the british english excell beyond my wildest expectations.
Oooh interesting!! I was always worried about the whole feeling claustrophobic thing 🤔 but the fact that it’s so tiny and lightweight is mega appealing x thanks for the closer look girl, hope your having a great week 😁🤟🏼
Evening Carrie, gratz in 5k subs Fantastic effort and pleased to see your excellent channels getting back under the bivvy and out and about subs n all! Cracking video as always, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🌌
I've got the snugpak aswell cracking bit of kit for the stealth camping, I do carry a smaller bivvy just to cover my down sleeping bag as the condensation does build up a bit in side, in sumer tho I never have a problem, as the vents are open,
Good to see you out and about again. Good review on the bivvy but I am still not convinced about bivvying. I am still very much a tent person although I am coming around to the idea of hammocking. Keep up the content.
September was a cracking month for sleeping outdoors. We live in West Yorkshire but we sometimes drive over to Janet's Foss for a bit of swimming and bivvying #leavenotrace #wildcamping
Found myself watching a few channels like this during lockdown (like many I suspect). I have bought some of the items in readiness for getting out there myself. I am concerned about safety though and that has weighed heavy on mind. After a while I’ve realised that as 53 year old, 6 ft 2” man, I’m the person everybody else would be concerned about. Now that’s weighing heavy on mind. Perhaps I’m overthinking it. 😂
Love that you take the opportunity just to think I'm off it's a lovely woodland being out with nature good thing about setting up camp in summer you have extra light longer 😊
Cracking bit of kit the stratosphere and so compact, light and waterproof. Very unobtrusive as well, perfect for a stealth camp. I use a tarp shelter with it if it’s raining, so you can pack up in the dry. fine on its own if it’s not. Good to see the channel getting back to normal.
I've used a Alpkit Hunka for a few years now, not very stealth it's bright red!, but been looking at these hooped bags for a while now so thanks for the review it's something I will invest in.
I have no experience with a biffy, I am more of a tent man 😉. I wouldn't suffer from claustrophobia but would mind to make my breakfast in the rain. A tarp might fix that, I know, but you are more exposed. Happy to see that the number of subscribers is steadily increasing.
Hi Carrie. That bivvy is so unobtrusive, especially in a woodland setting - no wonder a fox, badger or even a deer would maybe stumble upon it. Probably less likely for that to happen on an open fellside setting in the hills. Congratulations on reaching back to 5k subs. That will double before summer is out. Take care xx
I've seen these bivys and they look brilliant although I'll stick with my tent 👌😂.. What sleeping mat do you use Carrie I've tried loads and still searching for comftable one, cheers all the best marra take care stay safe #leavenotrace 👍🏕️
Nice vid, thanks for sharing. I've never dared try a wild camp myself but I've gotten slightly addicted to watching these types of vlogs about it so might yet one day. XD
Heres a tip for you that keeps flys out and small animals away...take a spray deoderant with you and give your tent a blast a few hours before you get in it to sleep in forrests and woods.......flys wont come in and i nhave never had any nocturnal videos in decades..god only knows what it does to our lungs but iot works a treat love .
Thank you Carrie for covering your experience camping in a bivvy. I’ve got a single person swag and probably feel more at ease with the extra space though it’s not as compact as the bivvy. Looking forward to more of your videos. Keep up the great work.😊👍
That's pretty cool, straight off the delivery truck, an hour later... in the woods 😁 Sounds like something I'd do! Thanks for the review of the kit, nice!
Lovely woods, film and music, thank you. Always interested in the Stratosphere as I have one, but condensation I have found can be a significant issue, and I normally sleep, rain permitting, with it open, using the bug netting.
I even hadn't considered being stepped on by the locals, that must have been a massive shock! I like these little bivvies but I always think what about when I need to get up for a pee in the night and its raining... Then I think maybe I'll just stick to tent or tarp lol
Great video and love the accent.💖 love never really liked the bivi because I don't have anywhere to keep all my gear and it's not really big enough when it's bad weather and you want to stay in and wait it out. But that's just me, some people love them.
Nice to nip out for a quick bivvi. Great sunset there I’ve witnessed similar. Always amazing through the trees. I was woken up in my bivvi once by a mole burrowing up under me. Bit of a panic on at that 😂 you probably experienced panthers 🐆 or foxy 🦊 they’re curious beasts badgers 🦡 are more shy. Anyway good to see your channel getting back up to speed 👍 tc
Hi carrie new subscriber to your channel, What a great little set up carrie ideal for a night out .can I ask where you got your kuksa from please? Best wishes neil
TBF Carrie, I don't think i could handle the bivvy, I like to move about too much but it looks fab and I'm glad you had a great time..... Looking forward to the next one.....
I'm so jealous 😏 I've not been out since lockdown ended. It was great to see you looking so well and enjoying stealth camping 👍 I've just bought a goretex Dutch army hooped Bivi as it is surplus stock and not used it yet. Nice video take it easy Taff 🤠👊
Hi Carrie - I'm looking into getting that very bivvy. However, the only thing that's stopping me at present is that I bring my sprocker out with me and he's about the size of a border terrier. I was wondering if you think there would be space enough for him as well? Thanks in advnace.
Hey, I wouldn’t say so, it’s just ok for me and once I have my sleeping bag and air bed it’s pretty much full, I keep my kit and everything outside of it. It’s snug, but ideal if it’s just you. My dogs are happy in a small tent with me - do you have a tent? I’d be happy to recommend some that I use with my dog
@@ukcarrieoutdoors9840 thanks Carrie. I did wonder. Me and my boy use a banshee 300 which has plenty of room. Ill skip the bivvy. Can't imagine camping without my dog. He'd be right peeved lol
Haha I’ve never been stepped on by a critter while in my bivvy! I have the Ionosphere tiny tent, which is better for my frame. Thanks for bringing us along.

Nice poem Mark😅
Ive been looking forward to getting that bivvy and love how stealthy and minimalistic it is. Thanks for the share!
Beautiful. Landscape. ❤❤❤❤❤💗💗💗💗
The snugpak bivvy tent is great except for a hot summer then you literally bake in it. Good video mate.
Yeah I can imagine, I don’t think I’ll use it over summer much . Thank you 😊 have a great week
Tea. ❤❤❤❤
It's a great bit of kit had one for a few years now great little woods to camp in carrie and good to see your channel getting back up there atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Another bit of kit and another excuse to use it. Spot on Carrie
Nice to see you out again enjoyed the Video 🏕🔥👍atb 😍
Great to see you out n about , awesome 😊
Great vid Carrie. I’ve just bought a Dutch army bivi and used it for the first time last night. Absolutely love it.
Shows how stealthy you were to be trampled on. Well done 👍🏻
I looked long and hard at Snugpak
Just got a Jack Wolfskin Gossamer11 for room, a little bit of stealth and for versatility. Can sleep just with the mesh under the stars ✨
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻👍🏻
Ah ah i found you at last - couldnt fine anyone on here for a while - since i moved house lol - enjoy the camp cheers Rob
Got the dutch army bivi. love it wouldn't swap it for anything. Perfect for star gazing.
I don't own the Snugpak but I do own a lot of bivys. Been using them for years, often with a small tarp or poncho for cover and it is hands down my favorite method of camping.
I've considered the bivvy tent but gone with a one man setup. Great to see you out again
Brave woman👍😘Best wishes from Germany, Viola
I love your vids Carrie, please do more
Lovely sound of nature. By the way I have camping equipment brand new and I am going camping soon in south wales in my own county

Excellent, glad you enjoyed night, I just haven't got the bottle to do that.. more please, but do stay safe...x
Somehow whenever I pick a wild camping spot eventually some bloke with a dog walks past! I'll have to go much deeper in the woodland...
I bivvy but in the Alpkit version. Love it. However it's always out in the open hills. I'd crap myself if something walked over me! You've convinced me it's hammocks only in the woods 😂
Amazing and wonderous to feel alone in the woods, best of nature to enjoy solo.
Thanks for taking us along. Good to see you out again.
great video. Not my type of tent which I have tried in a place in London where in a shop had all the snug pak shelters up. thank for an amazing video.
Looks like good piece of kit. Definitely something that will keep you more “stealthy”. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Class video again, I'll stick the the hammock though, Ive had deers wander around my set up but not been stepped on 😂
DDs hammocks are pretty good,not too expensive either 👍
Cracking camp Carrie, I recently did my first woodland Bivvy camp, animals kept me awake all night, hardly slept a wink but I loved it to be honest 😊
@@ukcarrieoutdoors9840 Agreed, you can lose yourself in the woods 😊🌳⛺🌲

I was down on Shanklin beach for a beer. It was warm in the sun but the once the sun went down, the wind and clear skys made it very chilly.

Nice .I went for the ionosphere snugpak bigger then the bivy smaller than a tent .as goldilocks would say just right. 😀👍OUT
Sometime them little quick random wild camps end up being the best ones 👍😂 nice video carrie atb karl
Stunning sunset Carrie and great video 👍

How beautiful is that sunset
Great video Carrie! I bought a stratosphere at Christmas but ive not had chance to try it out, I'm hoping to try it out in a couple of weeks 👍
@@ukcarrieoutdoors9840 Thank you, Ive got a camp penciled in very soon so I'll definitely be using it, 👍

top video as allways carrie good to see you back blessing davey east london
Are you not scared camping on your own I take my hat off to you what a great video
I'd be scares of ticks camping there.
Well done on first bivvy adventure- I did mine last week too. Amazing to sleep out and see the stars 👍🏻

I'm doing my first bivvy in August using a British army bivvy bag, if it goes well then I may get a stratosphere.
Hi love great to see you back on love weather been great im off in few days myself back solo camp

I’ve used a Dutch army hooped bivi a few times. It’s great for low profile stealth camping. Like marmite you either love it or you’ll hate it.
@@ukcarrieoutdoors9840 it’s ok in good weather. I wouldn’t rate it in pouring rain unless you use it with a tarp. 😉

Maybe layout some solar sensor lights to spook away critters. The lights go off and it will startle them , than they you.
