sub zero bivvy

[Landy_Dom]

Hi folks - just thought I'd share a few pics from a bivvy trip last weekend. It was -2C most of the night, although it briefly touched -5C. Location = North East Wales.

Tea on the go

My lad Ciaran all tucked in for the night

A distinctly non-bushcrafty breakfast!

cheers for looking!

That looks like a great night out! I like your tarp is it the usmc 3m x 3m in central euro cammo? The set up you have there is pretty good, nice n clean, easy set up with plenty options to close down if the wind gets up. Fantastic, bet the kids loved it.

Thanks for sharing.

It is indeed the 3x3 USMC in CE camo! Well spotted.

It is rigged over a 4mm climbing accessory cord ridgeline with the ends tied long enough to pull back and attach to the tarp loops to tension it lengthways. It is pegged out with sharpened sticks directly through the bottom loops.

I only had one kid with me - Ciaran, who's 11. Jamie is a fellow member from this forum. Jamie and I have made a new year's pledge to camp out once a month, preferably with an interesting twist (eg sub zero), every month this year. (anyone care to join in the challenge?)

Cheers!

Dom.

Looks like fun Dom

You should start a blog for the rest of the years trips. We can all throw in suggestions for that "twist"

Nice tarp. Where can I get one? Google says nothing.
