Sleeping in a Puddle! Tarp Camping in Heavy Rain & Strong Wind 🌧️ Wild Camping UK

This was a slightly mad tarp camp in heavy rain and 45km per hour winds. While the weather was questionable, this mountain lake surrounded with beautiful forest was absolutely magical 😍

I’m so impressed how my bivi bag did, despite all the water coming in and sleeping in a puddle, I stayed completely dry all night

The tarp tent configuration continues to amaze me how sturdy it is – you can learn this config here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3tchffbB5w&t=57s

❗ SAFETY: Never use a tarp as your only source of shelter in bad weather – also bring a bivi bag to keep your sleep system dry in case the tarp fails

Thank you so much for watching & have a lovely day! 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻
