Wild Camping in the UK

In this video, I take on my first-ever bivvy camp using a 20-year-old Integral Designs South Col bivvy sack I found on Facebook Marketplace. Having tried hammock, tarp, and tent camping before, bivvy camping was the last frontier for me—and this night in a woodland I know well was the perfect place to try it.

I share my setup process, lightweight gear choices, and the challenges I faced throughout the night, including condensation and staying warm. From making DIY peg-out points using paracord and rocks, to managing the early morning chill with a fire and a mug of tea, I give a complete, honest review of bivvy camping. If you're wondering whether it's worth trying a bivvy over a tent or hammock for your next wild camp, this video covers it all.

I think I found the best wild camping spot along the River Thames, peaceful, remote, and absolutely stunning for the UK. With my Hilleberg Soulo tent and the Rab Ascent 900 sleeping bag packed, I set out for an overnight adventure through a field where lambs played beside a gentle stream. This was easily one of the most beautiful wild camping experiences I’ve had, and it's hard to believe it happened right on the Thames. Whether you're into wild camping, river walks, scenic bivvy spots or just love being outdoors, this one's worth a watch.

I head out on a camp with the OEX Phoxx 2 tent and a pair of Akaso Seemor 200 night vision goggles to capture wildlife in its natural element. From setting up camp and cooking over a wood fire, to testing the Seemor goggles and spotting signs of badgers and foxes, this trip was all about disconnecting and reconnecting with nature. Whether you're a beginner camper or a seasoned wild camper, this video offers a relaxing look at night-time woodland life, bushcraft simplicity, and a few classic camp cooking mishaps along the way.
