Osprey Eja 48L Backpack

I love this backpack and just takes everything you need for a summer wild camp. I love the AirSpeed suspension at the back which stops your back from getting too hot, it's made from fully recycled materials and has a great number of pockets including hip pockets to store al of your stuff. It is also fully adjustable for your height and comes in 2 sizes.

MSR Hubba NX  Solo 

I absolutely love this tent; it is so easy to put up and its freestanding so you can move it once it is up if you like and you can sleep without the rainfly so you can go to sleep watching the stars. My only issue is that it is quite small so fitting me and my backpack in is tight, however this means that the weight of the tent is low (1.3Kg) so great for those multi-day adventures. 

Therm-A-Rest Hyperion 32F/0C

This is my go-to summer sleeping bag,. It is extremely light at 400g and is made of 900-fill Nikwax Hydrophonic Down tm so, therefore, stays drier and maintains the loft 60 times longer than an untreated one. It packs down quite small and comes with a stuff sack for storing when not being used. It comes in 3 different sizes too.  

Therm-A-Rest Neo-Air 

This mat is super light coming in at only 0.36kg with an R-value of 5.4. It's very comfy, my only issue with it is that its a bit small so if I upgraded I would get a larger one but of the same model. 

Therm-A-Rest Air Head Lite Pillow - Large

This pillow is so lightweight at 0.08kg and folds up so small even though it provides 10cm of air padding. The pillow is also made from non-slip fabric. What more do you need from a pillow? 

Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair Kit

This may seem like a luxury for some people, however, when you have hiked up what is probably a big hill then being able to sit back in a chair and watch the sunset makes the experience so much better, it uses your Thermarest mat and just turns it into a chair. It weighs in at only 0.29kg and has become a necessity for me. 

Jet Boil Stash

Lightweight and compact, maximizing your pack space without sacrificing performance. It only weighs 201 grams and is only 11.2 cm x 13 cm. I really rate its performance, and boils water in no time. 

Spork

Coffee in the morning, maybe a drop of wine with the sunset, this enamel mug is a key part of my camp. Holds 12oz. The long handle means you can reach down to the bottom of your camping food pack.

Freeze Dried Meals

You can't climb all the way up that hill and not have a lovely meal at the end of it. Real Turmat is, in my opinion, the best-tasting freeze-dried meal. They have a range of flavours and even do breakfasts, drinks and snacks. See the link above for the full range.  Don't forget your Coffee either, and Nothing beats that first Coffee of the day watching the Sun Rise!

Water Filter

I never go on a wild camp without my filter as I never want to run the risk of not having any fresh water. I've tried several filters and felt this is the best one. Plus, the bottle it comes with is easy to fill and squishes down. It also fits onto a Cnoc water bladder. If you know there will be water where you're going to set up, you carry less up. 

Paper Map

I do use an OS app, however, I always carry a paper map of my location with me; if the phone was to run out of battery and you do not have a back up charger ort you fell and broke it for example you will need a paper map as back up. 

Compass

I never knew that there was a difference in compass quality. However, I have been assured that Silva is the best brand. You do not need your compass to fail you which the cheap ones can.

Garmin Mini

As I mostly go out solo safety has to be a high priority for me, and I need to make sure I contact home and emergency services if needed even if I have no signal so this little device is perfect. You can see your GPS location and retrace your steps if needed but mostly I use this for messaging home. It also gives my loved ones peace of mind when I am out as they can track my location. 

Anker Power Bank - 20000 mAh

I always carry a power bank to recharge my phone, my Garmin mini, head torches etc. It gives you peace of mind especially when you are out on your own, however, don't rely on technology for navigation even with a power pack. 

This power pack can provide:

More than 5 charges for iPhone XS, almost 5 full charges for Samsung Galaxy S10, more than 4 charges for iPhone 11, and over 2 and a half charges for iPad mini 5

Waterproof Gloves

These 360Dry gloves are soft and comfy and 100% waterproof, they are great for scrambling and just being out in all weather. Plus they have the touch screen finger and thumb so you don't have to take them off to use your phone.

Waterproof Socks

I love these socks, they are soft, comfy and fully waterproof.

Bobble Hat

I always carry my bobble hat, great for when you hit the top, and the temperatures drop. I love this North Face one because it has a fleece lining that goes over the ears. I don't think I have had a wild camp where I haven't put my hat on.

Berghaus Waterproof Paclite Pant

I love these trousers, they have zips all the way up so there is no problem getting them on over your chunky hiking boots. I used them in heavy rain and they have never let me down. They fold up very small.

Mountain Equipment Saltoro GORE-TEX Waterproof Jacket

This is a great lightweight waterproof jacket that will fold up into its hood and pack away in your bag. I've had no issues with it and used it in heavy rain. It has many pockets and underarm zips to help with air flow. 

Thermals

I always take thermal tops and long bottoms to sleep in, even in summer, as it can get really cold at night; sometimes I just sleep in everything, though! I love these smart wool baselayer. They wick any moisture and are made from Merino Wool. 

Microlight Alpine Down Jacket

This jacket comes everywhere with me no matter the weather, it's great all year round. Great for sitting out of your tent on a summers evening, because we all know in this country it gets cold at night. However, even on a summers day hike, it can be cold on those mountain tops.

​

Slippers

Many people make fun of these when they get posted on social media. However, most of those people also DM me asking where they can get them. We all need some comfies  when we relax in our tent after a long hike up a hill in walking boots. 

​

Camping Light

These rechargeable lights are great to hang in your tent to give you that needed light once the sun goes down, they can be recharged room your power bank, and they have three brightness levels. Whilst I wouldn't suggest having the light on all night, stealth is essential. However, they are needed to help you find things. I would also carry a head torch in case I have to hike down the hill in the dark. 

Toilet Bag

This always goes out with me, days hikes or camps. It comprises of a trowel, toilet paper, wipes and spare sandwich bags. Please always follow the leave no trace principles and carry out any paper and always bury any number 2's

First Aid Kit

An essential bit of anyone's kit. this product gives you everything you need for those little emergencies.
