British army basha + bivi bag camp | freezing winter bivi bivvi bivy bivvy wild camping

Its winter and the temperature is going down to about 0'c at night!
time to test out my new sleeping bag from OEX and use the British army bivi bag and British army basha for a low profile shelter.
met up with Will and headed to a pine woodland where we set camp and saw some great wildlife and had a fun night.

It was, unfortunately a lot has been cut down now.

Hey, that blue thing at 6:18 is called a lamp, very useful when it gets dark 😉.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

I said little light but don't know what it's called, name of the brand.

[@matrixwakeup]

That certainly was camping in nature. Nosy deer checking you out and your own pet mouse. It was lovely hearing the dawn chorus of birds, Thanks mate

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

That was my favourite spot but it's been cut down now 🥺

[@matrixwakeup]

@@RickallsBushcraft01 Hopefully it'll grow up into a nice piece of woodland again one day.

Great vid, just stumbled upon your channel. Nice use of the poundland pillow, I’m using one of those myself after I had two Big Agnes AXL pillows fail. ATB mate

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

It does the job 👍

I've spent the last few weeks planning my first wild camping trip. I've got the same tarp and a DPM bivi bag. I was worried about how I was going to set things up but this video has just solved that problem. Thank you very much for the inspiration. I can't wait to get started.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Awesome. Its bit of a squeeze but nice and stealthy. Good luck. Thanks for watching

[@ohforfxcksake]

Going hardcore with that bivvy set up mate 😁

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Happy hardcore lol. Thanks for watching

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

I liked that basha setup Rick, I’ll be having a go at that pal. Nice to see you hitting these camps hard this year mate. Lovely spot to camp up. Hope your feeling better too. Cheers, Ant 👍

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Its very snug in that setup but its all fun. I love a pine woodland, cant beat it! Thanks mate, Im down from the flu to a cold now but still better to be out. Cheers mate. Take care

[@billyaitken1713]

🏕👍, sorry I'm late to the party on viewing this. I'd seen Lee's version but missed this. Your audio of the dawn chorus was pretty amazing🎥👏👏👏. Your 'visitor' reminds me of bashering-up in the forests of Kenya. You'd put biscuit crumbs on someone sleeping & chuckle when they got a huge rat visitor in the night.😂😉👍

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Lol sounds like a laugh mate. Thanks 👍

[@lesliemagson6431]

Nice vid.great looking camp

Cool video, just come across your channel and have subbed, nice place for a camp, enjoyed the video, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Thanks. Much appreciated

[@druthianoutdoors5786]

Cracking sleep setup mate, I've just got a British Army Bivvi, haven't used it yet. Want to get a new tarp first I think

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

I did feel a bit closterfobic with it all but it is a simple and easy set-up. Thanks mate

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

Looks like a great shelter and sleep system! Heard good things about those british Goretex bivy bags, might need to get one eventually. Ordered me one of those German ground sheets also, waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for sharing!

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

I highly recommend the German army groundsheet, just wish it was a bit long about a foot or so. Yeah the British army bivi is worth adding to your kit! Im glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

@@RickallsBushcraft01 Was close to getting one on ebay, but I forgot to up my bid hehe! Ordered a terra nova jupiter lite hooped bivy in stead as it suddenly was on sale for 130 pounds brand new.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

@@ThePreparedNorseman oh iv head good things about them

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

@@RickallsBushcraft01 Yea me too, and for that price I could not resist. Will be interesting to try it out when it arrives (when ever that is in these corona times).

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

@@ThePreparedNorseman Good luck mate

[@daz.6112]

You don't actually need the basha. The bivvi is adequate on it's own. Plenty of room for you and your kit. Just lay it on top of a roll mat. Happy days.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Yes I know.

[@outsidertank]

That looked a cool location for a wild camp 🏕

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Yeah it is a good spot, lots of wildlife. How did your camp go?

[@nickyjones9371]

It went well I was a little bit cold think my next perches will be a decent sleeping bag lol

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

@@nickyjones9371 Yeah thats why I brought this down bag, just need another year to save up now lol

[@TheVocalMale]

Good video, mate! What saw were you using in this video? Seemed to make short work of the dead fall

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

It was a silky saw. Thanks mate

[@michaelpepper7230]

Just a question what backpack is that? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Can't remember the name but it's just a cheap 120l bag I brought on eBay from China
