This weekend I popped my Bivvy cherry with some lovely adventure queens. Its fair to say before I went I was a tad worried about what to pack and so i thought I’d share what I actually used and therefore  would take again, as well as some things I leant and will buy for next time…

My total kit

My Must have’s

• Bivvy bag (I bought mine off eBay for £35)
• Rucksack (I used a Deuter 28l)
• Robens air sleeping matt
• Sleeping Bag
• Say yes more water bottle (obviously other brands can be used but not as awesome)
• Eyemask
• Head torch
• Bin bag (to put your bag in overnight incase it rains, I also used this for my boots)
• Battery pack to charge my phone
• Wee bag (LADIES v important please read on for details)

Few of my optional extra’s

• Sleeping bag liner
• Pillow
• Gas canister, burner, matches/lighter and saucepan cup
• Tea Bags
• Mini purple flask of Milk (I froze it before-hand so it was still cold in the morning)
• Yestival Cup
• Jerky
• Karrimor foam folding seat
• Avon skin so soft (used as mossy replant courtesy of my best mate)
• Packing cube filled with Pj’s and underwear
• Ear plugs
• Baby wipes
• Face Wipes

Remember for next time

A Wild Wee pack is a must have!

I don’t know why but it didn’t occur to me what i would do to the loo roll when I’d used it. I was educated in the wild weeing way. For those newbie’s you will need 2x zippy bags. 1 to put your used paper in and the other to store the clean loo roll and hand sanitiser. Enough said 🙂

Gas canister stand

I was a bit worried about my little canister of gas falling over and so I didn’t muster up the courage to actually make a brew in the morning. All of the others had these stands so this is on my must buy list for next time.

 

 

If you’ve got an must have’s for when you Bivvy feel free to post them below!
