Finally used my tarp and bivi set up this week and spent a night at Burrator reservoir.
But alas, turns out my phone battery doesn't like sub zero temperatures much and ran dry overnight, so no pictures to remember it by
Will have to remember to keep it in my sleeping bag next time.
An absolutely brilliant night all the same, sausages taste so much better when you cook them over a fire!
What I did manage to do however was break my first knife.
Happened batoning through a particularly big bit of firewood. I tried to twist it apart and it snapped! Gutted, as these knives are discontinued now I think, and I much preferred these to the Mora clipper (Which will most likely be replacing it anyway).
Still, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did: It was my first knife and I used it for nearly 3 years for just about everything as I didn't have an axe or saw for a lot of that time. it also had a bout of digging up roots which I can't imagine did it much good!
Ah well, all an excuse to buy new shiny things

that must have been a heck of a twist you had on it.
