  • Collab Camp with MCM Outdoors!
    Wild camping on the summit of Red Screes in the wettest conditions I’ve ever camped in! 50mph winds constantly driving rain into us and out tents. The Hilleberg Soulo and the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1 both stood strong though.
    Chris is an awesome lad and we will be out camping together again soon!

    I absolutely LOVE listening to the rain on my tent. Weather like this "sings" me to sleep when I'm out camping. So long as I can be dry and then get warm I sleep like a baby. Just like Chris said for me it's also relaxing. Looks like a great hike/camp and precious Blue just taking it all in his stride as usual. :)

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE

      It’s a sound that so many are familiar with and can be quite nostalgic. Always reminds me of being a kid. Blue just loves it! And he never complains.

My old retriever and I had to sleep too close on one wild camp when I had the crappiest thinnest sleeping bag and no mat so I had to sleep on my rucksack hugging her for warmth!

      Down every time in my eyes. My winter one is the rab neutrino 600. My summer is a mountain equipment 200. If you had to buy just one get one in between being a 400 which will do for most of the year. You can always buy a sleeping bag liner to increase its warmth which I have. Sea to summit do one or two and it’s so soft and comfy. Thermo react?! It might be called. Also in winter trap more air by using a lightweight bivvy. Mind in the alp kit Hunka.
