In British climate you won’t need a hot tent, it’s just a nice thing to have….a 5 season bag will cover every eventuality. Ive slept out in big storms with temps down to -6 and never been cold…..that’s a good bag, a waterproof cover and thin bivvy. 6 hours ago, WILF said: For REALLY cold weather it’s a canvas hot tent…..but your bag is more important than your bivvy, with a good bag you will get away with a tarp to keep you dry.

I like the stoves for the cooking and whistling kettle, and can lie Clemmo on the scratcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AntB 1 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Fishing bivvies can be great for car camping. They’re super easy to set up and usually pretty waterproof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
