I learned so much about wild camping solo over the years. I’ve been wild camping in the Lake District, Snowdonia, Dartmoor National Park and of course, Scotland. When I first started wild camping here in the UK I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and would just wing it, but over the years I’ve figured out what the best gear and kit list is as well as the rules and regulations, best practices and leave no trace principles.

In this video, I go over my top 6 tips and tricks for people looking at starting wild camping. I talk about the best cheap tent, the OEX Phoxx 1 and the new tent that I use, the Zpacks Solplex. I also go over how to find a good wild camping spot on the trail and how to wild camp legally here in the UK

BTW, I MADE THIS INCREDIBLE BIT OF GEAR
