A bed, sleeping bag and a head torch are a must. A hot water bottle is useful if it's cold and you haven't got a thick sleeping bag.
It's far easier to keep warm than get warm. So a spare set of clothes and definitely a couple of pairs of socks.
Plenty of food!
A battery pack to charge a phone, vape, head torch etc is very handy. You can go mad with buying expensive ones but a small power bank is more than enough for a night or two.

That's all the extra gear you need. There is plenty of other stuff you may want but that will get you going with the essentials.

If fishing on your own, a little tripod for your phone, so you can set it up for self takes.

One piece of advice, keep your bivvy organised. There's nothing worse than fumbling about in the dark not being able to find stuff!

I just liste to the radio on my phone, 1 earphone in. Doesn't annoy anyone that way 🤷🏻‍♀️
Plus podcasts, and I cant find a radio station that plays Cradle of Filth, Cannibal Corpse, Opeth, etc 😂

Important night fishing gear for me is the obvious, bedchair, sleeping bag, brolly, head torch, stove, and coffee making equipment.
I do include a waterproof sleeping bag cover, as I do sometimes not bother with the brolly and sleep under the stars, even with the brolly up it helps protect my sleeping bag from getting covered in dew. It also doubles as a simple cover if it is too hot to be inside a sleeping bag.

Bovril, takes me back to the terraces in the 80's. Think i will have to get a jar in the food bag now along with the tea and coffee.
Are you sure?
