Couple of shots of Slugwash and I on the El and back Bearbones outing... Not quite to Elan for us.
First Bivvy of the year and hopefully one of many.

I have lurked with interest on this thread up till now, as I'm not strictly a bivi-er (sp?), but instead I'm a road tourer. I have an interest in light things that do the job well!

This (see below) caught my eye, obviously its pretty mahoosive but hopefully future iterations will get lighter and smaller. What does the collective think? Anything similar on the market?

I saw one of these in Cotswold outdoor just before Christmas - I think it was priced at about £80.

The USB output is rated at 2W / 5V so it's 0.4A. Charge-time of more high-powered devices will take a good few hours, which means a good amount of dry fuel needed and hours of poking little sticks into the fire.

Edit: Having said that, it looks relatively cheap given what it does and the amount you can spend on 'normal' stoves.

Planning ahead for the spring 🙂 Tarp arrived today and I'm now looking for light weight telescopic/ segmental tarp poles. any ideas welcome. previously taken my walking poles, buy they are a wee bit heavy and excessively large. cheers

Use your front wheel at the back of the tarp and your saddle rails with seat post as high as possible for the front. No need for poles

Using a pole will gives you more set-up options than just relying on your bike.

Not that particular one but I have used DD tarps before. Have you seen the weight? Not really ultralight and that's before you add the stupid heavy steel pegs and cord.

Spend a few quid more and either buy:

AlpKit Rig - about the same weight but much, much bigger and with a smaller pack size.

Integral Designs Siltarp 1 - about the same size but less than half the weight/pack size

Cheers still s8tannorm, that link to your review was spot on. Didnt enjoy lugging Walking poles around last yr. If it is blowin a howly can you just pull together 2 of the sections on the ultralight outdoor one so you can halve the height of the rig?

Does anyone know where else you can buy those handy wee wire carabiners - http://www.alpkit.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16304&category_id=250- for a similar price?

You're not far wrong. 1.7 degrees Centigrade, so almost frickin' freezing! No way I could be smiling for the camera in those conditions ....

And yes, near Lucky Tor (the one on the River Dart, AKA Eagle Rock)

I think I've just about managed to gatther enough kit to go for a maiden voyage in the next few weeks once I finish my nights. I had a dummy run of packing everything onto the bike but noticed that when I strap my dry bag to the bars there seems to be a lot of trapped air inside which makes it unstable.

Its a 15ltr bag being held on with two cargo straps, being new to all this is there some cunning technique to this that I haven't grasped yet or is it just par for the course? I have considered making a harness of some desciption for it as a more secure option.

You can get a proper harness for it, like this one:

Now on sale at [url= http://www.backcountrybiking.co.uk/product/harness/ ]backcountrybiking[/url]

I've had some success using a rolled up piece of sleeping mat(karrimat) inside a dry bag in order to give it some shape and rigidity. The mat is also useful as something to sit on 🙂

I've seen similar things but its the cost that puts me off, just cant justify #80 given the amount of use its liable to get.

I'd been thinking of something along these lines using cordura with 20mm webbing and something as an insert to help give it some form. I'm kinda stumped on what to use as the binding around the edges of the main section though.

I had a similar chilly experience at the end of February. I camped up high enough to avoid the worst of the overnight frost but found no running water as a result. No water. In Scotland!!

Made from XPac so is tough and light.

Looks good unsponsered, I had a look at XPac which I may go back to its just I have some Cordura kicking around indoors.

Out of curiosity what have you used to bind the edges and have you used any kind of padding?

Bit of a P.S.A.

Lidl are doing that Rocktrail 2 man tent again, in blue this time.

Saw it on this thread ages ago and bought a green one, went past a Lidl today and they have them again.
2000mm Hydrostatic head, single skin, 1.5kg, 2 person, £15ish.

Cheap, the door has a flyscreen so should be more midge repellant than a bivi bag/basha/tarp.
Steel pegs, spare guideline in mine, well packed in a zippered pouch, ditching the pouches/spare bits changing the pegs should bring it down to 1.2-1.3kg. Fairly compact pack size, nice size for a single person and gear.

Seen them crop up in the background in pictures on here so a few on here got them last time round.

🙂

Taking a some ideas and inspiration from this tread I got round to doing my first bivvi ride last night. It was a very clear and cold night, but I survived and got a good buzz from it. Even woke up covered in frost. I'm amazed at how little kit I needed to do it, just a 20l bag, sleeping bag on the bars and a saddle bag. It was worth it keeping the kit to a minimum, the bike still rode like normal and I enjoyed the riding as well as the overnight aspect. I headed out after work, rode til it got dark, slept then rode home. Very cool.

Cheers for the tips / inspiration, this truly is the tread that keeps on giving.

Managed a quick last minute bivi ride last night.Was a bit fresh with some ice forming on the condensation on the tent. Big old synthetic sleeping bag came in handy again. 😀

First time out with the terra nova tent I bought from ebay very light and packs small.

I'd change foods if you want to use light stoves, 10-15 mins is a lot of cook time. If you made one that holds about 120mls of meths and use a heat shield it could do pasta for 2-3, or use a pot cosy to help it cook off-gas and make a simmer ring for it (loads of instructions via goggle). Would need a bit of a try-out to get meths vol right. I get about 400ml of water hot enough for coffee, noodles or porridge from 20ml of meths on a small can stove.

I've generally found that when cooking on a moorside there is FA else to do. So why rush your food 🙂

Because you need to use/carry less fuel that way?

30 ml of Meths boils ~700ml of water in about 11 mins on my Caldera Cone. (I think)

Per meal tend to boil about 1 litre of water which will include a couple of hot drinks.

200ml of meths does me for 2 nights out, doesn't seem like excessive fuel?

You can avoid long boil times in a few ways - one of the best being to make a pot cosy for your pan , bring the water to the boil then place in the cosy it's 'simmer' can then be done without using any more fuel. Also as said above ditch slow boiling foods.

I think I crossed paths with you guys when you were heading east between Winchester and QE park on Saturday? If not, it was a similar looking bunch with bikepacking setups 🙂

Cracking day for it!

Inspired by this thread I have read it with my 14 yr old who is now desperate to go bikepacking. Found an old frame with braze ons in the garage and built this rigid SS BikePacker, now complete and ready to go, son has a set of small panniers - if he really likes it we are going to have a summer of adventures. Keep the inspiration coming.

Any recommendations for sleeping gear for a cold sleeper?

I find that the sleeping bags which keep me warm are too bulky for carrying on a bike.

One of my sleeping bags is an old MacPac Neve with the down on top and a sleeve for a sleeping pad on the bottom. It packs up quite small, and I have used it on bivvy/camping trips, but despite its 4-season rating I find it’s best when used indoors with the heating on!

When car camping I use a PHD 5-season bag which is comfortably warm (rated to -32!), but it’s massive.

I spoke with PHD last year, and I think they recommended a Hispar 500 with zip (rated to -15) for 3 season cycle camping, but I imagine it’s still relatively bulky (it weighs about 1kg).

I’ve always thought one of the Buffalo 4-season bags combined with some Buffalo clothing would be good for bivi’s, although I think they’re also very bulky and heavy – I haven’t seen one in the flesh for years. I’ve got a 1 season Buffalo bag which isn’t too big, but I nearly froze to death when I used it one May night and the temperature dipped to zero with a ground frost!

I know I could combine a lighter sleeping bag with some down clothing, but down clothing isn’t always particularly useful when cycling.

Oh, I also bought one of those Blizzard bags, but haven’t actually tried it yet.

Anyway, I’d be interested to hear what alternatives there are.

What do you wear whilst in your sleeping bag? I find it critical to get the right balance. Wear too little and you freeze. Wear too much and you stop the sleeping bag lofting so it becomes ineffective.

Also - make sure you are warm before you get into your bag. It needs your body heat to make it work.

I've been out at -10/-12C this winter in a Mountain Hardware Lamina 0 so not much help to you I guess, but you can boost warmth with a liner of some sort, even a silk one that weighs very little will give you 2-3 degrees of comfort.

What sleeping mat are you using? You'll lose more heat to the floor than you will to the air in winter.

I've been using an Enlightened Revelation X quilt for most of the winter. Rated to roughly -20 and about 1kg, combined with an Exped Synmat UL it's been fine even on the coldest nights.

I've tried a few things over the years, from HH base layers up to the lightweight Buffalo top and trousers, plus the warm dry socks and hat thing. Also tried different sleeping pads including Exped down mat etc. I just tend to feel the cold. The problem with a bike is that it's not easy to carry the clothing and sleeping gear which would keep me comfortably warm when I stop riding or am sleeping.

If you don't head out on long trips when it's raining or only for one night get a really good down sleeping bag that is over the top for the temps that you will be sleeping in and sleep in the nude inside it.

It's a bitch to get into but your body will warm up the sleeping bag and not just the clothes you are trying to sleep in.

Warm the sleeping bag for a great nights sleep not your clothes, as cold clothes don't heat up the bag.

Also throw in one or two of those disposable or reusable hand warmers for a toasty glow.

Thanks. That makes sense - I'll try it next time.

I'd like to be able to get away with a lighter down bag for 3 season use. I keep looking enviously at the size and weight of those PHD Minims etc, but had to face up to the fact that they're probably not for me. It would be nice, though....

I'm not buying the "too much to carry" thing. You can get a massive sleeping bag on a rack.

Are you tenting or bivvying? A wee tent will keep you much warmer than a bivvy bag, especially if the bag is restricting the sleeping bag from lofting.

I suppose I could carry it if I used a rack. It is pretty big - the storage bag is about the size of a black bin bag. Obviously it'll compress, but even then, it's a real struggle to get it into anything less than the largest compression sack. It won’t go into an Ortlieb pannier. Admittedly I haven't done any bike camping for a while, but I've always been short on space because I've tended to use bikes which can't take a lot of luggage. I've got by, but had to pare things down to a minimum. I’ve mainly used a bivvy bag in those cases, but even when using a wee tent I often feel cold if I don’t have a really warm bag. I suppose something rated like the Hispar 500 is the best I can hope for (I think it’ll be about half the volume of my other one) but even then it’s not tiny.

You're obviously going to have to compromise somewhere if you simply can't generate enough heat to keep warm at night. That might mean a bike with a rack, or making sure everything else you have is lightweight/compact.

In this photo, the sleeping bag is on the rack, everything else (tent, mat, gas stove, pots, food, spare clothing) is in a Revelate handlebar roll-bag and a wee frame-top bag (really just the camera in there).
