World record bivvy attempt

[Bopdude]

Hi all, I don't know who here does Facebook but there's a group started to try and get a world record, the idea is to bivvy out next Saturday (26th) you can create a shelter using a tarp but no poles are allowed not even a hooped bivvy pole, you can also hammock, if anyone is interested I'll send invites out post a link via pm if that's the better way to do it?

Anyway, @Madriverrob and myself are going to take part, I think the number stand at around 200 so far, mostly in the UK but a few from further afield.

Let me know

I have my spot sorted in the woodland near the gun club. Using a small tarp and bivvy bag. Hoping the weather calms a bit.

Exactly how long are the guys taking part meant to stay out......is it a last man standing kind of event....... or a 24/48hr attempt?

@divebuddy are you already on the group and taking part?
@1 shot willie on the morning of the 26th they will post a code on the site you have to take a picture of everyone taking part with the code and their bivvy in the picture then post that picture before midday of the 27th so in answer, no, not last Man standing but group effort, as long as you're out overnight.

That's a shame but understandable, in in the same boat this weekend otherwise I would have been out too, we have a contingency plan for of the weather turns nasty, hopefully it won't come to that, and pictures, yep, we'll take a few
