In this video, I head off to a favourite local permission woodland for an overnight tarp and bivvy camp.

Having set up my shelter, I gather firewood and set about making a small fire for cooking - pizzas are on the menu, cooked in my Swedish Army M40 cook set, using it as an oven over the camp fire.

A couple of nice beers and some peaceful time beside the fire and it is soon time to wriggle into my bivvy bag and catch some Zzzs.

Morning brings another warm and sunny day, coffee and pancakes before packing away and extinguishing my camp fire.

I hope you enjoy the video,

Thanks for watching.
