In this video, I am in the woods for an overnight tarp and bivvy camp with Craig from East Anglian Bushcraft. After a damp and dreary camp up in the hills of Derbyshire, it was nice to return to the familiar comfort of the pine woodland.
Having set up our tarps, we go about the usual tasks of collecting firewood and preparing it for our evenings camp fire. Bangers and mash are on the menu, washed down with some fine IPAs and plenty of laughs and random conversations set to the flicker of the flames - a lovely evening, followed by a comfortable nights sleep on the forest floor.
The morning brings coffee, a hearty breakfast courtesy of Craig and a bit of time to enjoy our location before packing up and heading on our way.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.
