My new ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKING GEAR!! Lightweight WILD CAMPING kit for the Wainrights Coast to Coast
So here is the video you’ve all been waiting for (well, I have at least) 😅 next month I’m going ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKING
So at the end of May I’m doing the Wainwright’s coast to coast and wild camping along the way.
I’ve been down a deep old rabbit hole trying to get my lightweight kit down to ultra lightweight.
Please check out the video and let me know what you think will work and what I could possibly change.
Thanks so much for all your support over my quiet period, look forward to reading all your comments
Much love
Ash 🏕

Done the Coast to Coast. Ditch the shoes. The Lake District paths can be very rocky which will bruise your feet leaving your feeling lame. Don't wear Lycra but avoid cotton. You will sweat on the ascents. Perhaps something like icebreaker underwear with Merino. Don't underestimate the windchill when on the fells, skimpy shorts will not be pleasant. Last point , enjoy it. You will look back on this fondly as a truly wonderful experience. Looking forward to the footage. 🙂

@garyhertswildcamper8958 3 жыл бұрын

The only thing i'd add to that is what i call a preloaded sponge. A regular bath sponge, small as possible. preloaded with shower gel, then leave to dry out. That way you know you've got enough for one good wash. After that, anytime you're in a campsite, you just politely ask a friendly camper if you can blag a bit of shower gel/shampoo to reload again. A lightweight towel is nice to have, but if you wanna keep it light, you could probably use some of your clothing to dry off, then dry the clothing in the 'warm English weather' i know, bit of a hope and pray on that last bit. If you find that sponge idea a waste of time after 3/4 days. you just bin it. Hope this helps?

you need some talc, for inside socks, chaffing etc. trust me. midge net or spray, you will get eaten. a couple of t-light candles. very small and light and work as emergency heating incase you drop on a cold night. as for food. chorizo did me well, with pasta n sauce, boil with the pasta. sack off breakfast stuff and swap for nature valley bars, dipped in coffee, and you are golden.

Cotton boxers breath, where as lycra style tends to hold bacteria which may cause you trouble. If you recognise the smell of gym gear that's bacteria which builds as you add more sweat and the perfect temperature for irritation. Quick drying doesn't get ride on the bacteria. I'm not trying to put you off but perhaps try the lycra under your work trousers on a regular work day. What I have learnt in life is don't try anything for the first time test it first :) Good luck

Have you ever considered having clipped all your gear onto your tent to hold it down and the wind does blow it off the side of a mountain with your 5kg of gear.

AMAZING base weight Ash! Contact Zpacks about the import duty, they should have properly informed you, plus mention your channel - they may even help compensate you. Leukotape all the way! Also regularly changing sock if the get sweaty so maybe a few spare pairs? Stay away from cotton underwear at all costs, synthetic all the way which is fast drying and wicking (personally I go for Decathalons runners knickers, I'm sure they will have mens options) - yes to cycling shorts. Are you wild camping or booking campsites? Porridge is great for the mornings and I love 'just add water' type pasta dishes for dinner, plus recently started making home made flapjacks with protein powder for energy boosts. Enjoy bro! Loving your channel - Stay You, you are awesome!

Best of luck to you its a great trail looking forward to seeing the video. i would say best to go lightweight on this trail as well. I did it back in 2012 not sure how many days maybe 2 weeks but i take lot photos on the way and rained most the time my feet was trenchfooted. I been thinking doing it again some point but the other way round. Hope you get some great weather mate. Richard

Fascinating video Ash. Doing this sort of long through hike is something I’m always thinking about. It will happen one day soon. On the detail, a 5kg base weight is awesome. I don’t think you will get lower than that. I’m impressed you’ve chosen stuff than means you can get that into a 30l pack. My day sack is 25l and I’ve always assumed I will be looking at 45l at least for a multi-day hike. I’m not an expert on really long hikes but I would guess the Lycra would be a better option on the nether regions stuff. Great vid Ash. Didn’t know you were a hiker as well as a sitter in the woods taking sh*ter! 😄 Makes me dare to dream. Can’t wait for the vid! - ATB mate, Mark 👍

Nearly time to play! Great research, love the tent choice & can vouch for Atom Packs. For weight savings I'd suggest the following Tyvek to Polycro (wicks double glazing film) would save 100g Gas canister can be purchased around halfway at Kirkby Stephen 200g Spare pants & spare t shirt unnecessary, embrace commando or where sleep shirt whilst other is drying/ dirty Ditch the drone, carried my Mini for 50 miles along the Fen Rivers Way and despised it due to winds! Bum bag wise check out decathlon they do a good 45g one for £5 Powerbank wise consider the upgrade to a 'PD' capable one + PD plug, they half the recharge time = less time waiting about & more time on the trail. Ugreen is a great brand cheap on Amazon half the price of Anker. Freaked out by footwear choice!

As a lover of several models of VFFs for running (when I used to run) I’m keen to get some for hiking but I go for boots with strong ankle support due to having weak ankles (even though I wouldn’t dream of running in anything other than VFFs).

I’ve got a custom Atom + that bottom pocket is brilliant it’s where I stuff my sit mat, can hold it open with one hand put stuff in with the other. An excellent bag fits like a glove and worth every penny, Tom and the gang know their stuff and make supreme quality bags. On the underwear front I’ve got lazy panda bamboo ones and icebreaker merino, icebreaker no competition, sweat less wick more and smells less and weigh a lot less. I’ve got a few treadlite dcf bags and a wallet that weighs 2.2g. Something worth looking at is the Rab kinetic 2.0 trousers they are a waterproof soft shell so comfy can wear them all day, very breathable so can wear them all day if it rains so what. Weigh about 250g and can ditch the waterproof overtrousers, I went a size up so I can wear merino leggings under them in winter and they have plenty of room to wick sweat.
