Basha bivi april 2011

Wanting to experience more of nature and the outdoors I felt it was high time I actually did it instead of just thinking about it!
All my gear was cheap ex military purchased from Ebay and elsewhere.It kept me warm and dry.I was pleased with the way the army bivi bag worked.It was a cold night but there was absolutely no condesation anywhere!
In England, wild camping like this is illegal.So I applied the unwritten law and setup late and was gone early leaving no trace of my being there.

Sandy,

What can I say!

Sorry to find out about your hearing condition - I wish you well for the future mate.

Proud of you for trying.

I was in the forces in the early 90's and miss the outdoor nights - im hoping to do the same this Saturday and film it all to go onto youtube soon.

I agree with your inspirations like Pete (mindwiseman) & Mike (armouredcockroach) for me are good eggs - they have both been major factors in my decision to get more involved in bushcraft & "GET OUT THERE" as they say.

@funkyprepper Thanks Darren. Pete mindwiseman was a big help to me. Just subscribed to Armoured cockroach and his stuff is just excellent.

You can bet I will watch your videos when you upload them.

All the best mate

Sandy
