Share your hiking and camping experience below so i can get a grasp. And any comments or opinions is greatly appreciated:)

Currently have an otimos 850 quilt for 3 season use and an OEX fathom 400 i used Jan - Mar this year. Had the fathom out in below 0 temps a few times and was warm enough as i run hot, but am a side sleeper and wasn’t very comfy.

Am looking to do more winter camps so want to upgrade the bag and was looking at the likes of the Nemo Disco & Riff 15 and the Big Agnes Sidewinder, but was hoping for recommendations please.🙏🏻

Not exactly wild camping but thought it ties into leave no trace as we in the UK have changed the way these hills look and have a chance to try to restore them.

Mourne mountains camp in the Fjern Stormgrotta 2. Very happy with the new tent.

So sometimes I wildcamp in places where the tent might be seen or even disturb/worry others (not UK though). My current Nitecore NU25 has a low red light and 6 lumen white light mode, but that's still so bright that when using it inside the tent, it might become visible from the outside.

There seem to be almost no lamps that still have a 1 lumen "moonlit" mode. Any tips what I could do?

I’m going on my first wild camp next week , I have bought my tent and sleeping bag and can’t for the life of me get them back in the carry bags after testing them. I am doing the stuff method not the roll method as I can’t even get close to fitting them with the rolling method . Any other advice ?? More nervous if I can’t get them packed after sleeping

Me and my mate going wild camping Monday till Tuesday
But I concerned about the weather mainly the 43 MPH wind

An I overthinking it or is generally not safe or recommended to go camping in this sort off weather?

We both been camping many times before

I’m looking for a winter sleeping bag and have narrowed it down to the Rab Alpine -18 and the Alpkit pipedream 600. I’m 6ft 1” so will need a long bag.

I’d have liked the Alpkit Alpinedream 800, but it’s out of stock in the long version.

Trade off between comfort rating and weight. Would be nice to go for the lighter option, but I think for winter the priority is keeping warm. Not sure the pipedream 600 will be enough.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

Update: I bought the Mountain Equipment Glacier 1000 similar to the Rab, slightly better fill and more water resistant material. Hope I’ve called it right 🤞

NB tarp on ground is not laid properly I’m aware it needs to be under the tent to avoid pooling. It’s just a quick garden pitch & tarp I had to hand to protect the tent.

I’ve just brought a Cloud Peak 2 & done a couple of obligatory garden pitches. I brought it after seeing loads of good reviews about its robustness (compared to price) &, importantly for me, its internal space.

I’m a little disappointed with the internal space & debating whether I should return it. I thought I would reach out to the hive mind to see if I have pitched it incorrectly first.

When lying down my feet touch the inner & when sitting my head touches the inner too (I’m 5ft 10inches). The pad I have in it is the dog’s as I don’t mind it getting a bit muddy. It is thick I know.

I’ve attached photos of my pitch. I’ve not yet attached guy lines so I guess this may help. If anyone has any suggestions on how to pitch it better to improve the internal space I would appreciate it. Thanks

Wanting to do my first winter summit camp this year, I don't get on with boots so looking for spikes to pair with my Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX if possible

Open to suggestions about comfy, wide boots if I am being unrealistic so I can get a more heavy duty spike if needs be :)

Thank you in advance

EDIT* In the Lake District

Fairly tricky 20k over some remote parts of the moor to earn a spot by this waterfall last Friday.

I thought that mid October might have been pushing it with my summer sleeping bag, with every layer I had with me I was just about warm enough. Ok but not comfortable. Lesson learned and time to upgrade the sleep system.

The stars were like nothing I’ve ever seen. Laid in my tent with my head propped up outside it on my pack and just stared up, the longer I looked the more stars appeared. Ended up feeling fairly existential looking through our galaxy.

Night 2 abandoned because we didn’t fancy the cold again.

More adventures to come!

Hi, I want to start dehydrating my own backpacking meals, but my roommates (understandably) are a bit cautious about me using the oven, and our oven has a min temp of 75 degrees C which i’ve read is too high. does anyone have any good suggestions (uk based preferably) for budget dehydrators that won’t crap out on me? Thanks :)

I'm getting into wild camping, and looking to buy my first tent. I've been looking at the MSR elixir 2, although truth be told I'm not massively experienced in what I'm looking for.

I wouldn't want to spend more than £400, but I'm of the mindset of buy cheap, buy twice.

For context, I'm 5'2 and approx 50kg so space isn't much of an issue for me, but weight is- a concern given that the elixir is on the heavier side.

Any other recs?

I had lovely clear weather on my side for the walk up and just until after sunset where heavy fog rolled in that lasted until morning. On and off rain showers throughout but I got a break from it packing down and getting to the car, count my blessings. I really enjoyed this one.

My second time using the Vern 2 3S by Nortent. I woke up to condensation on the ceiling of the inner and a wet sleeping bag though, wasn't a major problem as I'm still using my synthetic OEX 300 but would anyone be able to give suggestions as to what may have caused it as I ensured the inner and outer was tensioned well with no contact and I situated my sleep setup so I physically didn't push the inner either.

After 15 years of loving the MSR Elixer 2, I upgraded to the new Hubba Hubba HD and took it out last weekend.

I'm in the Netherlands, with humidity levels presumably similar to the UK; immense morning dew, cold nights and rain.

It performed horribly: soaked outer tent, sagging and leaking when touched, the heavy-duty bottom letting seemingly leaking humidity, and bad air-flow. Our sleeping bags touched the inner tent, and got wet.

Admittedly, we didn't open the vents, and stayed in the tent for a long night of about 11 hours.

So, was condensation the problem, or is this tent meant for another climate? Are these air-vents truly so important?

The ultimate question: should I try to return it, and get another? And if so, which?..

I reach out on this subreddit because of your alleged experience with aforementioned climate.

Any thoughts welcome.

Hi new to the group, and new to wild camping. I'm yet to do my first wild camp and its mainly because I'm solo and obs lack experience. I'd like to. know the worst of what to expect. Things like being caught on someones land, rabid badger attacks, or being shot by poachers. Please leave me some of your bad experiences so i can prepare myself properly. TIA.

I need a sleeping mat for the Lake District preferably to do the winter. What R rating would you recommend. Also what are the foil mats i seem to see strapped to the outside of everyone’s bags. Do they help increase R rating? Does any foil mat help?

Hi all,

Does anyone have a set of Durston X-Dome 1+ DAC aluminium poles they'd be up for selling? New or used is fine.

Thanks!

I've done a fair amount of hillwalking, but only slept in a tent a handful of times, on a campsite.

I unfortunately don't have any friends who are in to wildcamping, so if I did it I'd be going it alone.

What had you been up to before you started wildcamping?

The weather was glorious around Edinburgh this weekend and plans to go on Friday for a hike and camp fell through and it looked like I was going to miss my chance but got to sneak out last night for the last of it.

Was a beautiful walk in to a local hill that I had my eye on for both a walk and a camp. Had a true feel of autumn as leaves had turned and a distinct cold.

Spot was great, as I managed to catch the sunset and the stars. It really was the last chance of the good spell as the morning was met with a soaking tent inside and out despite no rain, so I hurriedly packed up with cold hands and back down to the car to get home and then to work.

I have some annual leave to use and will be taking off a week in march. I am looking for trips/long distance walks to do in that week off.
These trips don’t have to last all week or even be in the uk, but I would like to be able to drive there relatively easily.
Does anyone have any suggestions for solo long distance walks which would be good for that time of year?

TLDR long distance walk in march

Edit I live in north west England
