Hmmmm, some good ideas here. I have a couple of weeks and a garden so will try out a few things. I tried hammock with blanket for insulation last night and learnt to take care not to drop said blanket into the pond! It was warm, but not very warm so I think I'll change tack entirely and think...

Hi all, I'm doing a tracking course next month, and am thinking about a low profile sleeping set up with the hope of spying on some wildlife. I've never used a bivvy before, and am being so indecisive about it, it's bordering on the ridiculous! So, in general would you recommend a bivvy set...

So a couple of years ago I went hammocking for a night in a wood on the Isle of Wight. It was terrifying, I heard voices in the night and spent it clutching my knife and peering out my hammock in fear. Flash forward, and seeing as now I've slept with just a skin of canvas between myself and a...

Hmmmm, interesting... so just saying "go wild camp over there" isn't the best plan? It wouldn't be a massively advertised site, more likely word of mouth for enthusiasts, (such as your good selves) as we wouldn't want people going there en masse, and there is a very pretty standard campsite...

An ash bag is pretty much what it says on the tin- a little bag of ash that's used to tell wind direction. A ranger I met had a lovely homemade one that 'puffed' the ash, so when I found this perfect squeezy bottle I just had to pretty it up. Please excuse the wonky stitching...

Hi all, my name's Helen and I've just spent the last 2 years working on a mountain campsite in South Africa, where I had many amazing outdoor adventures, as you can imagine! Now I'm back in Portsmouth for a while and the wildlife here is far scarier... I'm mostly all about the wildlife and...
