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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I camp stealth, so Lockdown doesn`t matter me. Nobody around me. Now too cold for camping, but summer will come. I test my setup in my garden at my house. I have a foldable two flame gas stove, so I can cook meal and coffee same time. So both are hot same time. I have a rubber bottle with me. And with a kind of sweater textile around. Filling with hot water, makes my sleeping bag very warm. Before or when I go to sleep. Or needs more warm, as a blanket around me. It is soo great to use. Greetings also to your dog. Greetings from sw germany.

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.

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

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'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!!
