Bare Bones Wild Camping: The minimum gear I’d camp with

I have an MSR Tindheim tent and a Gopro Hero 11 & Insta360 action camera bundle up for grabs over on www.messner.co.uk/ Good luck to everyone who enters the competition 🤞

I'm sitting at 2,390 m. In Italy with my one person tent behind me, eating the leftovers of the crisps for my crisps and dry bread roll dinner. Downloaded your video before I left. Now I'm sitting on a rock watching it while I wait for the stars to come out properly which they almost have. You have been a big inspiration so thank you!

You need your hot meal and a coffee mate.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧⛺️

I am blown away by the scenery in your videos. Not much like it in Australia....

I used a poncho to do the old man of Coniston when it was July torrential rain. Loads of people in top end waterproof jackets went past soaked to the bone. 1 even asked if we were dry and we were bone dry underneath! A small stove for a brew definitely is needed! Nice and peaceful camp!

Hi Paul...really enjoy your videos and so pleased if you don't mind me saying, to see you so much more relaxed than at a previous time...I turned 65 this week and can remember sneaking out of a boarding school dormitory at 14 to camp secretly in the woods at night for a rebellious few hours haha....Thank you for taking the time to be informative...interesting...and good humoured too...a genuine antidote to unremitting gloom on the news...Thank you again Paul....Liverpool Kev

You Sir, are mad. Of the hundreds of nights I've slept outside, I've left my brew kit at home exactly 0 times. I plain refuse to be alive for the day without a coffee to start... I knew that's why you'd regret it before I watched. Fair play for doing it though.

Paul, Another great video. Interesting to see how little one can get away with. For me, loving a hot brew, some from of stove remains a must. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻

Can’t beat the summer months for going lightweight. Even better if it’s a good forecast. But as a big tea drinking Yorkshireman, I’d have to take a stove. 😎😎 Thanks for sharing.

Like the back to basics camping, but can’t not have a brew! A stove is a must have for me.

Hi Paul, I love your videos and have always wanted to go wild camping but I thought it was illegal. You have inspired me to have a go and my son in law and I have a trip planned for Snowdonia. I just wish the kit was cheaper as I want to buy everything. Please keep up the great content and I will be trying to buy something through your links. Leave no trace :)

I went stove less on my most recent wild camp in the Peak District. I didn't miss it at all. I think the one and only thing I may have missed was a coffee in the morning. I wonder if you may not have missed it as much had you taken something more desirable like a big flapjack or BLT sandwich or something like that for breakfast. I reckon mentally you may still have been thinking lightweight and long distance, hence things like crackers. I tend to just take the kind of food I would eat if I wasn't thinking about weight or being outdoors. I tend to take a meal deal sandwich, drinks, crisps etc and combine with other tasty satisfying snacks I know I'd eat if I wasn't on the hill. I love a flapjack and an egg or BLT butty in the morning. Eating dry crackers in the morning I'd be missing the stove too. Great video as usual. I love the Terra Nova Starlites but they are way out of my price range unfortunately.

Such a lovely site for an overnight! It's nice to go with just the simple things.

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Cheers!

No stove? Getting a brew on at the end of a long day is often the highlight. I would never go out without one.

Another great ,no nonsense video Paul.👍

You're brave, considering what the weather has been doing to us this year. I'm writing this in the first 2 minutes of the video.

Excellent video Paul and the scenery was fantastic

Great video.. I'm a cold soak guy now.. Once you go for it it's ok.. Even cold coffee 😊

I really enjoyed the simplicity of your kit. I am still paring back my gear a bit at a time as I become more confident with my skills and leave my fears behind. Lol…that being said, I’m carrying the Katadyn pocket filter after having two Sawyer and Be Free filters fail. The bombproof design weighs just under 2lbs but with everything else stripped down, my base weight is still under 12 lbs.
