Just joined up and wanted to say “Hi!”.
I’m an English guy who has camped since forever on a motorbike but really got into hiking+wild camping with my lad (25) in the last few years. My maturing years and love of Belgium beer have naturally driven me to light gear and so its lucky to find so much available now and the forum here to chat about it.
We do a fair bit of wild camping, mostly in England’s Lake District. Typically being out for a couple of nights at a time and all year round. We have discussed longer trips and going further afield, nothing firmed up yet though.
Refining the kit is a never-ending process. Just today I’ve switched to BeFree from Sawyer ready for the next trip at Easter. I’ve got a new sack on order (https://www.atompacks.co.uk/product-page/the-prospector) which is over a kg (2.2lb) lighter than my current Berghaus, so that will be fun to try out next time too.
Always good to hear from anyone from the scepter’d isle (and everywhere else too ofc) to discuss gear and wild camping spots.
