Solo Tarp Wild Camping With Deer, Rain & Crazy Mozzies! 🦌🌧🦟

For this overnighter I try out a tarp in the woods, and had a special visit from a pair of Roe Deer. Plus a not-so-special visit from a gang of crazy mozzies. A really lovely night, loved getting a bit of rain on the tarp too 😀

My new gear in this video (tarp, bivi and a monopod trekking pole) are all things that I have bought myself to either lighten my load, give me more camping options or help with filming:

DD Superlight tarp. Seems good, it is thin as you would expect, but doesn’t feel like it’s gonna rip. I actually ripped my cheapo tarp the first time I used it for a camp, so be interesting to see how long it takes me to rip this one haha

Alpkit Bivi Bag. I had already borrowed a friends Hunka XL for the bluebells overnighter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTQxRoD0NUI&t=5s), really liked it so I’ve gone for the same one. I’ve never used any other bivi bag so can’t compare it, but from my experience so far: it’s light, robust, and I’ve not had any condensation in it (yet) – will keep you updated as I use it more in different conditions.

MBC Monopod trekking pole (from China as I couldn’t find anything like that here in UK). For normal hiking I prefer my Fizan Compact poles, but for filming, being able to mount my camera on a trekking pole is awesome. I only got 1 of these poles, so I’ll be using it like a walking stick on rough terrain for a bit of extra stability & to test out the ground for holes etc

Thank you so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻
