overnighter in the woods

[kiltedrunner]

Spent the night at my super secret camping location trying out a Belgian army bivi bag recommended and reviewed by mrbushcraftsurvival. Uneventful quiet night, just the way I like it . The bivi worked very well with my nanok 0 and a British army liner, it didn't rain bu the three layers kept me warmer than I've ever been in a sleeping bag. Used a mini IKEA utensil holder to get a small fire going. The large remains are from someone else's fire. Definitely recommend this cheap bivi (£10!!)

Looks good, glad that you had a pleasant night. With the new forestry bylaws, the future may be discreet camping for us all.

I honestly cant get my head around those. Entire businesses and organisations exist to facilitate people enjoying a night or two in the woods, but yet actually doing this is illegal?? So scout trips are illegal, DoE is illegal, it just doest make sense and I intend to ignore them the best I can.

Unless I'm getting it wrong?

I suppose that groups like the scouts will obtain permission to camp so their activities wont be illegal. I wonder if the department would issue a "blanket permission" for such groups provided that they adhere to a certain code of conduct.

I was fairly certain that camping on forestry land without permission had been against the law for a number of years, since the 70s as far as I was aware and that generally it was just a largely unenforceable law.

Looks good, glad that you had a pleasant night. With the new forestry bylaws, the future may be discreet camping for us all.
