This is apparently the best bivy bag you can buy but we all know my luck with bivy bags.

I've read all the reviews and they all say the same thing.

It's breathable, waterproof and basically bomb proof.

But here's the catch, I've never even used it before.

So tonight is going to be the real test.

I'm going to be setting up camp right here and seeing whatever the hill has to throw at me.

That's a big spider!

If you're new here, I have a bivy bag curse.

Every bivy bag I've ever tried has turned into a swimming

pool at some point this one however apparently has everything i'm

gonna give it a go let's get the adventure started shall

we i'm just gonna head up this hill in front of

me it's only about 300 meters high just shy of that actually

but it's a very nice little spot to test out my

bivy bag i am 99 sure i've just seen two sheep

having a staring competition i am planning on walking all the way to the top of this hill

but this is such a cute little spot

if i don't find anything over

that side it's all limestone it's a bit of hard work to find a spot

because most of it is full limestone pavement if

that was grass right there i would have immediately put myself

there this is what i meant by full limestone pavement one of my favorite places honestly it's

so peaceful the forecast for tonight is looking pretty chill fingers

crossed i have cross -checked the forecast three different websites i've used including mountain forecast

so hopefully it's actually not gonna rain it says no rain

although i still i just don't know every time i get my normal bivy out it rains

so maybe this one i won't have a curse on

my backpack is actually

so light i feel like i'm flying up this hill i've

changed a few different things in my setup i'm very excited

about it i've got a new backpack it's just my old

one in a different color i ripped my old one i've

got a new sleeping bag a new sleeping mat i've not

got a new pillow i don't i just don't really care about my pillow

just over this ridge of limestone i should be able to see all the fells of the lake district

and it's one of my favorite views i mean they just stretch on for miles

whoa that's so cool it's like a hidden fairy hole i always like taking new paths

when i go somewhere that i've been before

because you find stuff like this there's the entrance you come

through you've got beautiful trees the sun's just filtering through big

rocks might have to come back here i reckon i could

make a whole house anyway back into the real world just

walking up here right i'm focused on the sheep in front

of me this little guy scared the life out of me

i just stormers pooed myself i was like what is

that i've made it to the top it is quite a

lot windier than i anticipated though i'm gonna have a look at the view

and then try

and find a flat oh that's such a pretty flower i've

got to be really careful not to step on any bluebells because it's illegal for very good reasons

I thought I liked this spot

but I've decided against it I'm pretty sure it might just be a sheet path

but I can see a faint line

and I don't want to be on a path I'm aiming

for something relatively flat good drainage just in case it does rain I want to be not on rock,

but close to a wall of rock, not a circular rock so the wind doesn't swirl around, but something that blocks the wind.

I don't mind that.

This might be a good one.

That looks pretty good.

Let's get this bad boy out, shall we?

This is the Outdoor Research Helium UL Bivvy.

Not sponsored, by the way, if you're bothered i've not even looked at it i opened it to check everything's in there

because i have had that before where i've bought something

and then i've gone to set up

and there's no pegs all i know is i've got some kind of pole situation i've got some pegs

and i've got a weird tubey thing i'm gonna figure it

out as i go actually first of all go on guess how much my backpack weighs with water food

everything i'll give you two more seconds it weighs in total 7 .3 kilos 511 grams of

that is my bivy bag now i think that's pretty impressive

but with lightweight comes a price tag as always

and the price tag i don't know i'll let you decide at the end

if it's actually worth it okay first of all it's red i know

that might be a little bit controversial but you know what I fancied a bit of a change.

I've got two green bivvies and a brown bivvy now.

So I thought I'd try red.

It's supposedly meant to be very helpful for mountain rescue.

We always want to help them out.

You know, if they ever need to find me, I don't think they're going to miss me.

What?

Look at that.

It's huge.

My Alpkit hunker I've got.

That's like half the size of this

and then I've got the Alp Kit Elan

which is a hooped bivvy this is a hooped bivvy as well I'm fitting in there definitely

oh I have inserted the pole it actually fastens into itself with like a velcro tab

which is different now I need to find where I'm putting the bivvy itself ow spiky bush think about here Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, there we go.

That is my brand new bivvy.

You know what?

It's got a lot of headroom.

I think the outkits probably to about here, which is a significant amount of headroom.

Not been in yet i seem to have vents on the sides as well that's pretty cool

wait oh my gosh this is a whole vent at the back it's

so you must get in like this just put my shoes inside my bivvy bag why have i done

that i'm getting excited shoes are coming back out that's how you get in

so you just slide in instead of opening a side zip i don't know

100

if i think that's very practical actually because like all the wind

101

and all the rain i suppose if you angled it differently it would work

102

so there's two layers there's a full mesh layer

103

if the weather's nicer

104

and then there's the obviously waterproof layer do they fold back do they have toggles

105

if this has a toggle i'm gonna be very oh it's

106

got a toggle i'm very happy this is my new sleeping bag it's actually a quilt not a sleeping bag

107

and it is comfort rated to minus zero i'm pretty sure minus zero degrees celsius it's comfort rated too

108

and then a minus six degrees celsius limit my trusty pillow

109

and my new but old mat it's new

110

but i have had it for a couple of weeks now

111

and i've probably used it about 10 times it is the

112

nemo tensor i think it's r rated to about five

113

or six roughly it's an all season sleeping mat it's very good first aid kit you've always got how big this is.

114

That's awesome.

115

It's just a question of whether or not it's actually going to work.

116

But I do like the amount of space I've got.

117

I think I'm going to fly off though.

118

It's like a wind tunnel.

119

Right.

120

Sleeping that time.

121

It's a bit windy.

122

The wind is going to help me though i'm gonna use it to blow up my mat okay

123

why does the wind stop as soon as i need it okay never mind

124

well it's in there i reckon it would fit a lot nicer with a mummy shaped mat

125

but i recently to change mine to a square it's not

126

a square is it it's a rectangle katie oh oh my

127

pegs come out stupid thing oh yeah it's definitely a lot more snug as you thought you were sleeping that in

128

oh that's not bad this is it that's yeah that's your tour actually i need to get my pillow and My quilt.

129

We need to have some dinner.

130

this is the fluff dance if you couldn't already tell

131

if you can i don't know if you can see through it on camera

132

but you can see through oh there there you go you can see through the down

133

so i'm shaking it so that i can fill in the cold patches

134

hello we're doing the fluff dance the fluff dance yeah do you see the shape as well

135

so this is my toe box where my little putzies go

136

and then these wrap around my mat

137

so i can't lose my sleeping bag quilt

138

and then it just goes over me and then if i'm really cold i can clip it

139

here and cinch it around my neck as well to keep the heating

140

well there we go that's my quilting look at that i'm gonna have my dinner i've pre -cooked

141

it might look a little bit revolting to be honest don't

142

know about anyone else it's got some chicken in it's chicken mac and cheese and i've got a yogurt

143

are you having a laugh not my spork i've bent my flipping spork backwards

144

if i don't lose it i break it how am i gonna eat with

145

that oh yeah nice to see you i'm just no okay

146

it's very bendy i fixed it it's just got a massive crease in it

147

that will snap off at some point

148

but it's usable for now let's get cooking i have no oil to cook this with

149

but i'm just gonna pour water in my pan

150

and use it as a steamer i'm actually a little bit

151

chilly today we've been having quite a lot of heat waves here in the uk at the moment

152

and i've got very used to the heat and very quickly

153

i built myself a little platform with my sit mat for my stove

154

because it's very uneven here one of the cons of it

155

being a beautiful ancient old tropical sea I mean all these limestone pavements the reason they're here is

156

because all of this used to be under a shallow tropical sea

157

so walking on all these little rocks you're like oh they're

158

really pretty rocks it's got very cool history behind it and the geology I mean it's worth researching it is

159

the grand reveal of dinner i promise you it's very tasty it's also leftovers

160

so it tastes even better than last night don't drop it

161

don't drop it don't drop it don't drop it yes it looks absolutely rank don't know

162

if anyone that's outside of the uk will know that word

163

but you do now basically means it's disgusting don't burn it

164

don't burn it Katie don't burn it I always burn it smells lovely it's like piri -piri mac

165

and cheese chicken it's got a good little cloud watching situation

166

here this is definitely the best bit about a bivy bag

167

you can say it's claustrophobic all you like I agree

168

but I get to watch the clouds I get to look at the sunset

169

and see the moon and I'm I'm still sat inside of my baby bag it's hand warming

170

and taste test time oh that's very warm oh lovely warm

171

though oh okay let's give it a go it's got steam coming off it

172

which is always a good sign that's nice actually it's like

173

smoky what is it smoked paprika i'll put loads of

174

that in it's like well hello there this is a fun

175

new angle it's now yogurt time i've eaten as much of the mac

176

and cheese slop that i can possibly eat wash my spoon I've been on call to my mum and dad, and midway through my call,

177

a tick was crawling on my sleeping mat.

178

The texture of yoghurt makes me gag, but I like the flavour.

179

It's actually pretty chilly.

180

I've checked the forecast, and overnight it's meant to drop to about 12 degrees Celsius,

181

which explains why I'm rather cold right now.

182

I need to decide how I'm going to have my sleeping...

183

system i can have the vent fully open or fully closed i'd probably have it open

184

well my light has decided to just stop working but it's okay

185

because i've got a head torch come on i swear

186

if my head torch doesn't work right now really that's a

187

big spider what were you doing on my finger sorry little guy i always feel bad about not liking spiders

188

but they are weird looking i've got no light then both

189

of my lights are dead they were both working they were

190

fully charged this afternoon don't have clothes it is very damp though like this is

191

soggy and it's not rained i can tell you that now

192

but you can see my handprint on it

193

so it must be quite damp quite humid right i'm gonna see

194

if i want my vent or my full thing closed i'm gonna try both

195

and then we'll see this is gonna be a true test

196

of what it's actually like whoa i got loads more room than usual the holes are small enough

197

so midges can't get through as well yes i'm gonna try

198

full zip i'm pretty sure i'm not gonna like it as much

199

but i've got to try it at least wow i definitely don't like it as much it's very dark

200

hello

201

well this is what it looks like on the inside i will say this bit is very saggy

202

so i'm not putting my head there

203

but also this pole the hooped bivvy bit is actually

204

so much bigger than my other one see on my other

205

one my head is it's like my nose is touching the

206

pole this one seeing how much more room i've got that's

207

loads better it's getting damp in here though it's wet it's literally wet

208

it's getting darker and darker i'm definitely going to sleep with it vented

209

but i think that condensation is going to be an issue anyway

210

which considering it said it was really breathable it does come

211

with guy line attachments for the vents on the sides no guy lines in sight which

212

when i've paid as much as i have for it i

213

would at least expect a couple of pieces of string put

214

in there i think it's going to get rather damp in here

215

well i'm really hoping that it actually is breathable it is waterproof i'm hoping

216

that doesn't pour it down because i've had to leave this vent open

217

because otherwise i would be waking up soaked i've inflated my pillow

218

so it's about 10 past 10 right now it's still a

219

little bit light out hopefully i can get some good sleep

220

but i will see you all in the morning to give you a rundown

221

and let you know how expensive this bivvy bag actually was

222

and then we can decide whether it was worth it or not right night

223

good morning it's about 7am i think right now i tell

224

you what i slept half decently i didn't sleep amazing

225

because it started raining at one point

226

and i had to like really quickly pull this flap down

227

so i was fiddling outside the tent to get it down

228

because well i didn't like it when it started raining on my face

229

but in terms of waterproofing i mean you can see all

230

on here it's beaded inside of my bivy is quite damp unfortunately my sleeping bag is like directly

231

against the bivy bag so it probably worked better

232

if i had my sleeping mat outside

233

but then my sleeping mat would get soaked

234

and it's not great for the mat with the sleeping bag

235

being directly against it it's like damping spots it was a lot wetter this morning

236

when i first woke up so i did one of those sleep score things last night

237

and it gave me a 59 out of 100 apparently i only got about five hours of sleep

238

but it didn't turn into a swimming pool i will have to test it again probably in heavy rain

239

but in terms of price point my other hooped bivvy

240

that i've got which is an alpkit elan hooped bivvy

241

that was about a hundred pounds my regular bivvy from alpkit

242

which is the alpkit hunker xl

243

that was about 56 58 pounds this was 240 pounds on sale is meant to be 279 .99

244

but i got some money off i don't know

245

if it's worth it yet to be honest in terms of

246

breathability it's still it's still damp inside condensation wise it's a lot better

247

but is it 10 out of 10 no not whatsoever i'm

248

still damp inside i'm gonna stop packing away that's my favorite part of packing away

249

so is my new bivy bag bomb proof i don't know

250

yet it's definitely not as breathable as everybody's been raving on

251

about i have still got a damp sleeping bag there was water droplets inside i don't think

252

that should be classed as extremely breathable the best on the market

253

but you know what i will test it again I'll test

254

it in heavy rain I'll test it in stronger winds than this

255

and we will find out whether or not it is bomb proof

256

but do I think it's worth it not right now no I'm not extremely happy with it

257

but as always I will see you all on our next little adventure thank you

258

so much for watching leave no trace as always happy roaming bye

I've NEVER Seen A Climb This Hard.. And Nobody Talks About It

Daily ConversationWorking Adults

Over deze les

In deze les ga je oefenen met het begrijpen en na spreken van een informele, spontane dialoog over wildkamperen. Je leert omgaan met dagelijks Engels, inclusief conversatieele elementen en beschrijvingen van natuur en ervaringen. Ideaal voor het verbeteren van je luistervaardigheid en spreekvaardigheid, vooral als je IELTS spreekvaardigheid oefenen wilt! De video heeft een rustige, conversatieve toon, waardoor het perfect is om de shadowing techniek te oefenen.

Belangrijke woorden en zinnen

Bivy bag: Een lichte, waterdichte slaapzak om buiten te kamperen.
Limestone pavement: Een oppervlakte bedekt met kalksteenplaten.
Bluebells: Een soort bloem (nl: hyacinten), waarvan het stappen illegaal is.
Stealth camp: Kamperen op een plek waar het niet officieel toegestaan is, discreet.
"Fingers crossed": Een uitdrukking om hoop te tonen (nl: "vingers Kruisen").
Windier than anticipated: Winderig dan verwacht.

Praktische tips voor shadowing

De video heeft een gemiddelde snelheid, met enkele momenten van spontane reacties (zoals "Whoa!" of "That scared the life out of me"). Gebruik de shadowing techniek door na te luisteren en direct na te spreken, zo snel mogelijk na de spreker. Dit helpt je om de intonatie en ritme te leren. Let op de informele woorden en zinnen, zoals "I reckon" of "anyway", die veel voorkomen in dagelijks Engels. Als je moeite hebt, pauzeer de video en herhaal de zin meerdere keren. Een goede shadowing site kan je helpen om deze oefening structuur te geven. Onthoud: elke kleine stap helpt bij je voortgang! Of je nu schaduw spreken leert voor plezier of voor een examen, consistentie is de sleutel.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

Structuur	In de video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — iets dat eerder begon en nog bezig is	we've been having · everybody's been raving
Voorwaardelijke zinnen if + zin, will/would + werkwoord — een voorwaarde en het gevolg	if you angled it differently it would work
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt	I've read · I've ever tried · i've just seen
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet	is meant · should be classed

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
