Packing for 1 Night Wild Camping
**** TOILET SITUATION - TAKE A SMALL TROWEL AND SOME LOO ROLL - IN CASE YOU'RE CAUGHT SHORT !!!! :-) ****
In this video, I show what I pack for a typical wild camp for one night. Of course, these videos are entirely subjective and you may agree or disagree with what I take and why.
Hopefully this helps people who are just getting started and may give an idea of some of the items which you will need.

Very informative and insightful, for the experienced and newcomers alike. I recently went on Derwent edge starting at cutthroat bridge and traipsed up to cakes of bread on a hot but windy day, carrying a 32 pound pack. It was my first time out for ages and nearly killed me!! Weight is a definite consideration even on shorter hikes. I won't be going over 25 pound in the future, it's just not funny lugging all that weight, yeah you've got a level of comfort when you're set up but the effort to get there means you're too knackered to enjoy it. It's a balancing act and everybody's different in strength, fitness, stamina etc. Thanks for all the great vids Chris and more of the same please!

@MCMOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

Agree John, it's a trade off like you say. Ultralight - enjoy the walk up more - easier - but less comfort around camp (although I'm sure people would scream out that this is nonsense and that ultralight doesn't equal uncomfortable) or take a heavier pack with a few more luxuries for on the top. I need to get fit again, so taking a heavier pack will help out. ATB

Recommend to put that med kit into the top flap of the sack. Pulling it out at the very end is a no go. Let's say you're still hiking in to camp and you get an injury...you'd have to rummage through the whole pack just to get to the med kit. That piece of kit should be one of the most easy to find and accessable pieces of kit you carry.

Good balanced view as ever mate. Go light, go heavy, do what you like. Some folk obsess about weight to the point of madness (my mate saws off his toothbrush handles) others have 18 kg full of crap. From experience, I tend to go slightly heavy and have lightweight back up on things like headtorch, titanium stove, lighters and the like. A lot of the lads I’ve climbed/walked with tend to go very light. Very very narrow margins for error on that approach. ATB. 👍

I am a massive Fjallraven fan. Currently got the Keb 52. Done me proud here in the UK and whilst backpacking around Vietnam and Thailand. Agree with the comment about tent in a dry bag. I use the Ortleib PS10 with valve. Keeps everything in place and compressed.

Timely video as I am about to go this weekend for an overnighter. Amazing how similar your packing is to mine and how much of your equipment is the same as I take,( the x therm, Soulo, long spoon, fire starter, tent light, etc are exactly same as mine). Ok, so you gave me the name of the tent light before when I was looking for one, but you get the gist. By the way, if you have a slow puncture in your air pad, fill the bath half way, soft inflate the air pad, stick it in the bath til you find a string of air bubbles and you have located the puncture. Similar idea to a bike puncture, but bigger scale. Normally an easy fix from there.

@MCMOutdoors 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate - believe it or not, I've tried that method, soapy sponge etc too to check for bubbles - and for the life of me I cannot locate the leak - I'm wondering if it's from the valve assembly. I'll be sending it back to Ireland next week - so fingers crossed for a solution. Enjoy your overnighter mate - ATB, Chris

Omg so excited!

I don't know the exact weight sorry, it was heavy 😑 I'd say around 15kg. Thanks for watching mate

Wet wipes .......... toilet and general clean ups combined. And usually a 2 or 3 cotton balls soaked in hand sanitizer for easy fire starting. Was gonna ask about water supply as its been puzzling me .... i guess you dont know till you go once to spec out the area. There could be a pub or a public toilet with taps at the start of your trail. Planning to go by motorcycle so wont have the luxury of a car boot for any non essentials.

So correct, ultralight kit does not give you the same workout and .... ultralight bags can let you down, as happened to me on the West highland way! Still waiting for my Singi 48, cannot wait! I love side pockets which are out of fashion with the mainstream manufacturers! The one thing not to go ultralight weight with is the backpack, that is absolutely a game stopper if it fails! All is lost!

@MCMOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree mate - some things are just heavier. Laws of physics! Enjoy your Singi, it's an immense pack!

@HenrikForsberg 4 жыл бұрын

Trowel, toilet paper, wet wipes. I was looking at buying a trowel. I've seen Deuce of Spades being recommended, but couldn't find it anywhere. Found a Sea to Summit trowel, but it was €30(!), so I ended up buying a plastic garden trowel for €1 at the closest dollar store and shortened the handle to not be too cumbersome. Will probably do the trick just fine.

You pulled out your first aid kit last,....It is supposed to be on top or in an external pocket. I was messing around camping with a knife doing some dumb things I saw on KZfaq and cut myself really good a few years back LOL. Got blood on almost all my gear trying to retrieve the first aid kit. So I did it, and I'm not being negative. In the army it has to be marked to show its location,... you may not want sticky tape on your bag,...but anyone with you should know where it is and it should be very easy to find if someone finds you incapacitated.

Got it 2 years ago mate from ASDA, I'm sure they will have an equivalent still - just have a look online. It's not the warmest, put backs tiny and does for summer and early autumn.

MCM Outdoors I’ll have a look cheers. Be ideal for me that in the wagon as I have the night heater on for the majority of the night and I’m not having to slog a big bag round with me. As for the wild camping I probably only get 1or2 in through the warmer months anyway so it’ll be another boxed ticked for those occasions 👍🏻👍🏻
