Love your spork... but I carry my father's fork from camping trips, my mother's favorite teaspoon, my uncle's knife and Granda's soup spoon, They are gone, but the family is still together! little bit more weight, but oh well.
That's lovely
thats really sweet
Better than others
I love that
trygginoregon , what’s that “a garden fork” ?. That will be big enough for you.
Athena, I have had the Patagonia down sweater for 3 years now and only on this day, I realise that the internal pocket acts as a compression sack?! hahaha. thank you for changing my life.
I’m not even planning on going wild camping I just watched all the way and the quality was so good I had to subscribe
Give yourself a favor try go outdoors it feels good believe me! :)
David Johnson the distinction of “wild” is made for camping not in a designated campsite but actually in nature without amenities like toilets and showers.
@@katkatbukid3057 agreed
I'm calling backpacking wild camping from now on. :)
@David Johnson calm down david if you go into the wilderness to camp thats wild camping if its on a campsite thats camping and if that campsite has electricity for your tent thats glamping
This is the very definition the perfect equipment essentials video: clear, focussed and presented in a friendly accessible manner. Thank you.
Love watching your content for a bit of escapism at the moment, and your videos are always so lovely! Thank you Athena ❤️
Really liked the format/edit of this video and it was super helpful! Can't wait to wild camp for the first time :)
Great video and kit. It's always nice to see what or how other wild campers pack. I usually take a foam roll mat as well as my air mat, putting a foam mat under my air makes a huge difference.
Great video! Just before the lockdown I renewed some of my equipment. Apart from the price, this mainly translates into the weight of my backpack. Technology does not stand still and you can also see that in outdoor equipment. Stay safe and hopefully we can all do some wild camping again soon.
Whoever does your videos(you, or whomever) has a good eye for capturing pretty images. The lighting, composition, placement in landscape..all that stuff was well done.
I make them myself, thank you 😊
Great job with the cinematography and thank you for the advice! Very relaxing and informational to watch. Shoutout from the US!
Very helpful. I've literally spent all weekend staring at my gear trying to see where I can lighten the load. Driving me mad. 👍
You produce such wonderfully soothing content, I love it all so much!
Thank you! :)
Totally agree! Feel really chilled now - thanks Athena!
Agree thanks for having such a mellow energy in your voice
Dftba ;D
Some of your gear were discontinued, but I like how you gave alternatives, nice video 😊!
Loved this video! We've been thinking about wildcamping and this has given us some great starting points and things to consider as far as essentials!
I really enjoyed your gear video! I am a relatively recent new viewer and have been enjoying all of your current and past videos. One thing I'd love to see more of (when you are able to wildcamp again!) is what you cook when your are wildcamping. I've seen you whip up things at home for day-trips, etc. but have been very curious about your back-country meals. Also - just have to say I LOVE that the British call it wildcamping - here in the US we just call it camping or backpacking! Wildcamping sounds so much more adventurous!
This was a great video, I’m 18 and I hopefully will get my first wild camping experience after this lock down! Thank youuuu!
Athena. Definitely worth the time you spent filming and editing! Many thanks ! (I wild camp during hikes/canoe/cycle/motorcycle and now personal watercraft trips !)
Nice one! I'm looking forward to my first wild camp after the lock down. So, this was especially useful to watch. Cheers 👍
I love seeing other people’s gear. I’m a kind of camp gear voyeur I suppose.
hola. Yo soy igual. tratare de hacer un vídeo con el mio. hehe
Hahaaa
Yes, you often get good tips from other people! The only thing is that you keep on buying stuff you sometimes never really use...
What gear you talking ?
😎
PhreshFunk I am! I am! I confess.
This video has helped me very much in stocking up and replacing my old gear! Thank you!
Thanks for making this video! As a result of your recommendations I’ve bought the pocket rocket, thermarest neoair mattress, alpha pot and cutlery, petzl actik and Patagonia down jacket. Can’t wait to go wild camping 😁😁
The Alpha pot is amazing, gotta get one for my trips ! Good essentials :)
Very good presentation. No padding (except on the down jacket!) and not a word wasted. You delivered exactly what the title said. If only all youtubers did that! 10/10. Congrats.
Inspirational once again Athena, thank you! The fact you prioritise snacks and a cup of tea means that you and I speak the same language! Cheers :)
Thank you! Great to see all the superlight options and the brand names. Not a lot of firewood in those hills.
Recently decided to try and get into wild camping. I’ve watch so so so many videos online! It’s refreshing to see a female fronted video. My playlists were turning into a sausage festival! Great video! Just bought a packable down jacket. Thanks for taking the time to make the video :)
Very informative and we are very proud of you for setting the right example and staying home.
Honestly this is about all you need haha
Really nice to see a video that is not about all the stuff you could potentially buy if you want to.
Thank you so much for putting this together, really helps and much more confident in what to take and what not!
Thanks for sharing! A very decent kit. I've been on overnighters last month several times. Still use the extreme winter sleeping bag up here though. Most because it's so cozy in it 😂. But it has serious pack volume.
I use the MSR Velo tent but that was discontinued as well, perfect tent for cycling or motorcycling camping.
Hello Athena, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing your fine video. I really enjoyed it. All the best to you. Be safe out there and stay healthy. 🤗
Loved your video and seeing the gear that you carry. Very different from the gear I carry here in Australia. I use a tarp rather than a tent, a small down quilt instead of a sleeping bag. I also use a limit static pad. The rest of my gear is vintage 1970s so is well broken in. This all fits in a 30l backpack.
Like you lookingforward to being able to get back outdoors before my old bones seize up completely. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Lovely video and beautiful scenery. Now I can't wait to go camping!
As always, I loved your video. So pleasant to watch and very helpful content. Thank you Athena.
I really enjoyed your video. Great gear reviews and stunning scenery. The vibe of the music meshed well with yours :-) I actually haven't gone camping properly in many years, but your video inspired me to reconsider :-) Thanks!
Love the video! The tips were super helpful and I can't wait to go camping now!
Thank you for this video it was super helpful. I can't wait for my first wild camp eek! x
Idk where u are from, but these amazing views reminded me of NZ, hiking and a year i was lucky enough to spend there, which was the best one i've had in my life. Really really nice video, thank u!
Thank you for taking the time to make your content. Clear and concise and well presented, Thanks.
I love watching your videos! Gear recs are always helpful and it really inspires me to plan some trips for when we can all get outside again :)
So lovely to hear :)
Oslo sounded sad it was over! Great video! I just got an Outdoors Edge ChowPal, which is supposed to give you a knife, fork and spoon in two separate utensils. I haven't tried it yet but I like how it packs down to the size of a small folding pocket knife. Hopefully we get out in the back country soon!
Love the idea of using a down jacket as a pillow 😍
That was a beautiful video with concise info. Thanks a lot. Have fun exploring when we're off to go.
Great video Athena, thank you for sharing it!! Stay safe!
I enjoyed your insight on solo camping! It was very helpful! It gave me different ideas.
Hello Athena. Great vlog again.. as with all your video's the back ground music puts you in a good place. Very impressed with your down jacket.. very compacted when packed away. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Gary! The jacket is great and glad you enjoyed the chilled music 😊
I'll vouch for all of this gear.
Moji lamp is a very nice buy as it's useful all around, not only for camping.
I would also add one thing that Athena isn't doing - for camping get a backpack that opens on both sides. It's very comfortable if you can access your tent from the bottom flap.
Have a nice day Athena! Stay healthy.
What a great video, really loved your editing! & packed w good info
It's always great to see what other people take with them, as we never stop learning. My home away from home is a Macpac Microlight one person tent - which is light but will stand up to anything the weather throws at it, a Sea to Summit ComfortLight insulated mat - which combines comfort, durability, and warmth, and is not too heavy, and a Macpac Overland 400 sleeping bag - which is a good all round down bag.
Mummy bag? Or hammock bag? I was looking into Hyke & Bike 800* hydrophil down hammock bag. It is
wider by 4 inches.
Another great video. Your production and editing are amazing. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Cheers!
I just upgraded to the Lowe Alpine Aeon ND16 for smaller day hikes & I love it! I know when I'm ready for a larger pack for bigger (multi-day) hikes, I'll be going with Lowe Alpine! A great company of products!!
What an amazing video! I wish I had someone like you to go camping with! ❤
Thanks - I'm accumulating as much knowledge as possible for next Spring/Summer when I hope to begin one and two night camping trips for photography purposes.
really good video Athena, cheers for the gear overview
Ahh I loved this video, so helpful!! I want to get into wild camping and backpacking so this was super helpful:)
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was really good! :)
Water bladder in front pocket, Great idea. Leaves more room for gear inside the rucksack. Also easier to access for refills etc.
Love this! Can't wait to wild camp now
I’m a fairly new subscriber, I enjoy the chilled out vibes of your videos. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Thank you!! :)
Very useful video, well put together and informative. Will adapt it for bike touring, shopping for new panniers now, but getting distracted by bikepacking setups!
Nice film Athena. Always good to compare one's own gear choices to someone else's. I do find this inability to go wild-camping frustrating. With sensible choices it is the ultimate exercise in social distancing. I think I'm more concerned about the level of shaming I'd experience rather than the risk of passing on/catching Covid. Best wishes, Chris
Thanks for the video. I couldn't resist trying the capaline air thermals after the recommendation, as all my other Patagonia gear is superb. Hoody arrived today and looks quality. Can't wait to try it out properly.
That’s ace! Hope you like it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for the video !! Love seeing what other people use thank you for putting the video together
Thats so awesome u have the courage to go out alone like that.. love the accent... but also thank you for taking the time to upload the video!! Brovo!!!!!!!
Now you have sent me straight to the my local climbing and outdoor store's website! - just window shopping, promise!
after watching many gear videos, this is still the best and most reasonable.. thank you for this and happy camping
Thank you 👍
Great video. Very informative. looking forward to getting out again
Another great video Athena very well presented and a wealth of information great to see you and Harvey sharing your experience with others very well done......😃😃😃😃😃.....Stewart
A hearty thumbs up👍. I have the Primus equivalent of your Pocket rocket though it's been left in a draw unused for years: Reason, not having peace of mind in finding replacement canisters in remote locations. Ive had the same MSR Whisperlite ( or equivalent multifuel) for 12yrs and though I admit its far more expensive now, yet knowing I can go anywhere on earth is priceless. I hope my own choice ist seen as a criticism of yours. I respect fully your investments and as someone watching your vid for ideas I thank you.
A well presented video.
I intend backpacking again next year, after about a 12 year break.
My first trip, with my kids was Crinkle Crags, Bowfell and wild camp at Angle Tarn. Next day we walked back to the cars. Great fun, but tiring.
Next year I'll be 63 so I hope I'm fit enough again ... Will spend the next few months getting fit.
Regards from Whitley Bay
This channel is amazing! How come I've never seen you before.
Binge mode - activated.
Again, a really lovely video but also packed with useful information and tips. My first wild camp was in Snowdonia last summer... seems like a millions years ago now. I packed far too much. Probably enough not just me but for wife and daughters too! Next time time, whenever that happens I will watch again and talk take note. Thank you again.
Thanks Jonathan! I definitely usually overpack on food which adds a lot of extra weight... gotta have that chocolate bar and enough milk for at least 3 cups of tea :D
Nice pack setup, always interesting to see what other folks use
Really helpful, peaceful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Love the video!
I'm so used to camping in America these days so I had a bit of a fright when you were cooking at your camp!
Do you mean because of bears, or...?
This is my new favourite video, thank you!
The soundtrack is brilliant! Quite zen!
Just started to follow you great walks and camping you do stay safe thanks for sharing atb Paul
Lots of good info here. I wish I could get my kit into that small a pack. Still when I get back to camping I will be trying harder to stop carrying too much. Keep up the good work.
I have the hubba NX! I love it so much. It's very streamlined and find it very wind resistant
Legend has it that grass is all over your thermals to this day!
So many cool items 😊 Thanks for sharing! Wild camping is my favourite 😁
Thank you! Me too :)
Thank you for the video Athena, just what I needed to get me excited to get back out in the great outdoors. :-)
I've been wild camping for 25 years and this list is excellent. The one thing I always take is an empty 4 litre Ortlieb water sack. This is then filled with water when u get to ur water source. This then enables u to camp away from the said source if there isn't a decent flat spot nearby or like me I can't sleep next to loud water noises!!
Haha when the video started with clips next to angle tarn, I immediately thought I recognised it as I visit Earlswater most years. Was very happy when you confirmed it was, I'm impressed I recognised it haha
Cool video, and a great bit of kit that I am sure gets well used. I am looking to purchase the MSR hubba hubba nx
Thank you for a very informative video. Very well done! I hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much for this video, I love your backpack! Mine is clinging onto dear life at the moment and is definitely disitnegrating (it must be at least 15 years old now!) Will definitely take a look at your recommendation, I love that it has a separate part for a water bladder too. I can't wait to get back out wild camping with the dogs as soon as lockdown is over!
Yes super helpful! The idea of keeping my water bladder inside is just a bit scary... I think Lowe Alpine bags are great :)
This was so informative! Thank you!!
this was so helpful!! Very excited to try wild camping in the future! ... would love to know a routine of sorts when you arrive at your site? if that makes sense? and perhaps meals you usually make on site? Love watching all your videos - such a calming and relaxing time, and so inspiring!
Great idea! I can definitely make that video in the future 😊 I’d love to show more camping meals, I just haven’t had the opportunity obviously! Thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
Very cool. Great ideas here. Love the bag. Thanks!!
You gived me enthusiasm in this video !! Love wild
This is lovely, thank you! I'd love to see how you're able to pack everything in a 40-ish liter bag. I have a 40 liter bag I've used more for long travels and a 70 liter I've used for backcountry hiking. I'm just starting to do some camping trips on my own and...maybe I just need some smaller gear but I have a hard time getting everything small enough. They probably make things smaller and lighter now but I've had most of my gear for years and don't want to replace it when it's still in good working order. I feel like this comment is rambly but...if you ever wanted to make a packing video I'd be interested to see!
I need a 70l to i use all the same stuff as this lady and noway can i fit it in a 45l..my sleeping back is a 3/4 season and is a nightmare for space
I also have the MSR Hubba HD, just resealed the fly seams, I have other tents but this is my go to for early or late trips.
Such a helpful video! Planning to invest on the right equipment. Thanks for making this video! P.S. Love the background music. Very relaxing~
Good video and lots of good tips. The MSR tent is great, I bought one for a motorcycle trip to Greece and back via the Swiss Alps in 2008. I still use it on motorbike camping trips in the Uk. As good as it is, I'm not sure I will trust it in strong winds. The seam tape dissintegrated with time and I have re-sealed the seams with Seam Grip for nylon. (Silnet).
I have two stoves, a Primus Omnilite TI which burns everything and a more compact Soto Amicus. Light, very controllable and windproof. Good build quality, and fits inside a GSI Minimalist pot/mug with its gas cartridge and lighter.
I was looking for possible wild camping spots here near the Norfolk Broads when I stumbled on your video. Its mostly farmland here, but I have checked out some tiny woods, (carrs) between the farms. Might sneek into one of those when the time is right.
My wife and I have used an MSR Hubba Hubba for a few years, now, and have never had a problem, even in high winds. Camping in Joshua Tree National Park, we had gusts of at least 40-50 MPH, and though the tent shuddered a bit, it never caved! Of course, we had it staked out, tightly, using every option to do so!! Great tent, that!!
I'm doing day hikes at the moment but hopefully will build up to overnight hikes so this is very useful
Angle Tarn - my absolute favourite place for wild camping ⛺️😍
