Terrible tragedy sorry for your loss, I remember asking about a bivvy heater once and you guys all told me not too. I never have, glad I listened tbh, sadly it happens too often. Hot water bottles, baselayers, a decent meal and some tea and decent sleeping bag.
Got my bait rolling setup complete, just need to get some ingredients in. In two minds whether to stick with my lt94 mix that has worked for me during the warmer months, or try a new recipe for a nut/milk mix 🤔 one of them with it being cold and the bites being less frequent, is it really the time to be trying a new mix or should I just stick with the current lt94 mix lol.
I know it sounds stupid that the less you wear, the warmer you are. I'm sure I read it somewhere and tried it and was pleasantly surprised how warm I was. Possibly the extra layers trapping sweat and making you wet and causing your body to cool down as it tries to get rid of it. I've got a pair of gardening clogs at the bivvy exit that are easy to step into and my coat is on my table ready to pick up.
