Emergency Camping in Rain: is it possible with only a bivi bag for shelter? Surviving in the Wild

I tried a bivi bag camp in the rain to see how effective it would be in an emergency situation. This was over 12 hours in wet, rainy conditions in a bivi bag with no other shelter and temps between 5Β°C and 7.5Β°C. I filmed this close to my car in case it went wrong (never clever to intentionally risk hypothermia)

This is the Alpkit Kloke lightweight bivi bag. It was not as entirely waterproof as I would have hoped, but I did still stay warm and dry, so would have survived unscathed and well in an actual emergency situation. The features of this bag (big hood, zip-up entrance hole) meant that no rain water came in the entrance hole – a big plus!

My sleeping bag – Leviathan OEX 900 – seems to have recovered from the ordeal haha! I used him for a camp in the woods a couple days ago and was lovely and warm, although it is mild at the moment. Hopefully no damage done 🀞

A 2-night, snowy mountain adventure trip is coming next! I’m so excited to start on that one 😍

Thank you so much for watching 😊 Much love and Merry Christmas to you all! Claire πŸ»πŸŽ„πŸŽ…
