Wild Camping Feature

The ultimate gear guide to wild camping and outdoor walking.

Now the temperatures have lessened somewhat, we’re back into a time of the year when a wonder into the wilderness really starts to appeal for those looking to pitch a tent.

Yet being prepared is everything, so here’s your passing to ensuring a comfortable and safe time in the great beyond, as we present our ultimate gear guide.

Boots & Socks Wild Camping Essentials

Invest in well-fitted walking boots to avoid blisters and discomfort. Pair with high-quality, comfy socks for extra cushioning with moisture-wicking properties, preventing foot injuries and maintaining comfort.

Fleece

A warm outer layer is essential for outdoor activities. Choose a lightweight variety that provides warmth during chilly nights and breathability during strenuous activities, helping regulate your body temperature.

Waterproofs

The UK’s unpredictable weather demands preparedness for all eventualities, making a waterproof jacket and trousers indispensable for those pitching tents in the wild. Opt for breathable ones, ensuring dryness without overheating.

The same goes for hats and gloves, with both warm- and cool-weather versions essential.

Camping Mat

Wild camping often means sleeping on uneven terrain, so choose a lightweight mat – one that’s easy to pack, and thick enough to cushion and support your body.

First Aid

An essential item for any camper – a well-equipped and up-to-date first aid kit is crucial for possible emergencies and quick repairs.

Insect Repellent & Sun Cream

One of the hotter seasons, but sun cream and insect repellent should be factored into any kit.
