- So I'm heading out Wild Camping this weekend. I had been asked a few times about packing so I thought I'd talk through what you need for wild camping and how I fit it all in my pack.

Interesting to hear other people's packing regimes, mine is almost identical. I tend to do it the way you do it and then a couple of nights before when I'm going to sleep actually run through in my head setting up-Put my bag down. Need the tent , poles , pegs etc then think about sleep system, sleeping bag, mattress, food, cooking, utensils, gas etc etc that way I am nearly always remembering what I need lol. I also used to do written lists but found I never really checked them off the following time once I become more confident. I think lists are quite good when you're starting out because you can put a line through the things that you didn't use and that you don't need (with exception of first aid) you can then chop out the stuff not needed. My biggest overpack is always clothing, but I just worry about getting soaked through and cold or having skiddy pants 😜
yes I should have mentioned that.. I used to write lists myself to then knock off what I didn't use. great advice.
Thanks for all the great videos throughout the year 👍👍⛺️⛺️👍👍
Great video Dan. Can’t take my eyes off of your electric socket though 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 I noticed it on too 😂😂😂
Work in progress. My brother in law has been re wiring the garage.
Great camping tips for beginners absolutely amazing video Dan
thank you bud. appreciate that.
Good job Dan👍👈 New campers can certainly use your routine to get out there and enjoy their time. Everybody is different but having a "game plan" is just smart, laying stuff out to look at is especially useful in making up ones mind. Happy 2024 and we'll see you in the next one.
Cheers mate.
Quality top tips there Dan. Good advice, straightforward and adaptable for different contexts. Cheers. 🤠
thanks mate.
Great to hear that a seasoned camper considers the Cloud Up 2 as good in the wind and cold.
I was new to wild camping last year and my budget meant that I needed to buy for "one size fits all."
At least for now anyway.
I've not had my Cloud Up 2 out in bad weather yet but it coped with 20mph gusts without even breaking a sweat.
I recently saw a wind test video that was testing lots of expensive tents.. plus a couple of cheap ones.. the cloud up was in the cheap pile.. and it out performed all.. it buckled and folded flat at 70mph but sprung back up good as new after.. the guy was impressed.
@@CampLifeBushcraft cool, is it on TH-cam?
@@MG-bs5mr I think so.. I'll try and find it.

@@CampLifeBushcraft thanks, what a brilliant test 🤣
I need to reorganise my kit like this. Love the sign on the wall 🥰
someone got me that sign... can't remember who now ; )
Good stuff there . I always take a brew kit and poo kit on every trip 👌
Hey Dan, hope all is well. Cracking video that thanks for sharing, anybody new to camping would find this video very helpful !
Thanks Paul. Appreciate that. 👍
Very interesting, learned a lot. I car camp often and my gear is all heavy, but it’d be fun to try something like you do sometime.
let me know how you get on.
I love the way you say Poo Kit... it makes me wanna go 😂
and yet your poo kit is still untouched!
you should get it out one day and check if the paper has turned to dust! : )
@CampLifeBushcraft I check it regularly... Still un used and healthy paper 🤣
G'day Dan, yep the when and where dictates the final carry, but the "compartmentalisation" in one's mind is the way to go about it. And I couldn't agree more; lay the kit out a day or two before. think I've only ever forgotten stuff, (or could have made a better choice), working off a list.
Personally I always carry a poncho, because; it doubles as a pack cover in the rain, (without letting water get between you and your pack), and it also provides a small tarp/awning option when in camp, regardless of the season. (the Tomshoo job you showed many moons ago has proven to be a little, light weight, champion).
I do also carry a few niceties in the navigation category; compass/map, notebook/pencil/sharpie and small binos;
since A. cant trust network coverage. B. batteries/power banks will run out at some point. and C. to keep the skills up, ... besides I find it quite fun.
Btw; It only took me a coupla decades of wet knees and bum, to work out a kneeling/sitting pad is a mighty fine idea ; )
Top vid mate !!! Cheers Duke.
Hey Duke, how's it going?
thanks for your comment.. I found lists are easy to keep adding things to.
I still have the little poncho.. and it's in my plans for the summer. Warren and I have decided that we are doing the South Downs way trail. and I have been considering gear for this. it's 100 miles so I want to be as light as possible. the poncho is the front runner as my waterproof of choice I think.
@@CampLifeBushcraft All good here Dan, it's been a relatively cool summer down south where I am, (so far at least). Plenty of intermittent rain as well, which I do appreciate and it fills up the dams too.
Not getting out amongst it as much as I'd like, my little four legged mate, (Kylie), is still quite a puppy, (shoulda called her Missy, since she gets into so much miss-chief), she aint really a "bush dog" breed either and several km is enough for her at this stage ..... probably me too ; ) Though I am doing some weight training and such in anticipation. If ya dont use it, ...... ya lose it ; )
How's Lolly coming along ?
I'm certainly not going to "Proclaim" I've walked 500 miles with the poncho, let alone 100, (in one go anyway, maybe a total of 100), but I can say its not showing any signs of degradation so far.
I do carry a waterproof jacket and trousers in winter too. So if it ever fails to cut the mustard, ...... all is not lost ; ) Besides, in a tarp configuration, there's still something to wear around camp should the heavens open up.
Hi Dan, all good practical advice mate, I was wondering how you were going to get that additional crate of beer I saw in the corner of the room in that bag !🤣 . Good video mate, look forward to your next camp out bud.
Regards
Moose
haha! thanks mate.
Practically a run down of my kit except I don't carry any electrical ( Video) kit and I use steel instead of a Nalgene water bottle. 👍
my pleasure.
Great video and thanks for the ideas, we usually kayak and camp but we’d love to backpack and camp, lol we take all our gear when we kayak in a back pack similar to yours when we kayak for almost all our gear
Good stuff!
Thanks for this Dan, very useful and informative. Having left things behind on more than one occasion I'm going to adopt this planning idea and have my kit unpacked etc
Glad it was helpful mate : )
It's a great idea to have items that have more than one use
For sure!
Really useful, thank you.
You are welcome 😊

Appreciate it!

I’m very much a list writer, lay it out but check the list! 📋🍄
I used to write lists.. more so I could cross off what I didn't use for next time.
