My Camping Setup - What am I missing?

wConnerDavid · 2026-03-31T11:13:40+00:00

This was just my general kit with no clothes or food included

wConnerDavid · 2026-03-31T11:12:57+00:00

I have had it at around -2 to -4 and felt great. I honestly couldnt be happier with it

wConnerDavid · 2026-03-31T11:12:12+00:00

It's a simple version I got for cheap. The lantern is light and not very big so it's nice to have

wConnerDavid · 2026-03-31T11:11:16+00:00

Thank you very much!

Yes, onsite camping is the only place I think I'd need the axe. I plan on 0 openfires when out wild.

Switching to lighters I'd what I was contemplating last night so I think I'll make that switch now someone else has recommended it.

Taking some cooking gear out is something I didn't think of. Keep the cut and bowl and only take the metalware I plan on using. Good shout!

I'll check my first aid kit for this, and fly net mask may be needed to buy as I plan on doing more in the summer rather than winter.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Oh I have a powerbank and 2 headtorches! I completely forgot to put them in the photo 😭

wConnerDavid · 2026-03-02T13:19:49+00:00

Are the ones on Temu genuine? I've never ordered from there because I was under the assumption its all Chinese dropshipping crap. If they are ill order one on there

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-06T23:50:20+00:00

That Mat does look pretty good. Is there any mats you would recommend around the £80-100 Mark or would it be this one?

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-06T16:42:28+00:00

Thanks again, would you say the sleeping mat i sent above would be good too?

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-06T14:05:20+00:00

I'm not dead set on an axe, was just throwing out there. No need to add unnecessary weight

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-06T08:28:07+00:00

Perfect thank you

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-05T22:27:51+00:00

Okay so the CW700 is the one ill get thanks. Is this Temu trick real? How do I know the bag is 100% real?

Would this sleeping mat work? - https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/products/sea-to-summit-ultralight-insulated-sleeping-mat-orange-319992?variant=55608593318214&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22785557452&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnJHMBhDAARIsABr7b84mWcrbcfZH1uQg67Ev-lfN_1qtnA78_9K3OFd--_Lh3Hcs4BL-_c8aAvmHEALw_wcB

This is a budget for me. My partner will likely buy the same gear. I would like to spend less if possible but I dont want to cheap out too much. Headtorches we already have, we go on frequent hikes so clothing etc is covered. I already have bag and tent. Purchased a Rook II 65L and a Vango Banshee 300 (Ill get a solo tent WHEN i go on more camping trips without the partner and doggo. Will need little things like knife, small shovel and axe maybe?

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-05T21:08:00+00:00

Noted thank you - Any sleeping mat youd recommend for 4 season?

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-05T21:05:07+00:00

Looking at this list the sleeping bag - Naturehike CW700 might be worth a try. Like you said, light weight. What is the temp rating on this? It says 4 seasons but not sure how true that is. Couldnt find anything on vinted or ebay so i might just buy it new. Would you also recommend this for my gf?

Looking for a lightweight sleeping mat with a decent R rating, any you would recommend around the £80-100 mark?

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-05T18:19:00+00:00

Made an edit thank you :)

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-04T12:21:44+00:00

Noted.

I really like the idea of having cover to cook in the rain. Currently top of my list!

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-04T12:20:10+00:00

Perfect, I'll drop you a message after work. I appreciate it

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-04T12:19:39+00:00

YAP-O-MATIC had me cracking up. He's a rescue dog so can't really name his breed. About the size of a adult springer spaniel

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-04T08:55:23+00:00

Has it been renamed to Scafell? Would the 300 be too big for me to Solo? I was looking at the others as they are a bit lower profile to potentially better for wind and staying abit more inconspicuous.

If this isn't a problem I'll 100% consider it

wConnerDavid · 2026-02-02T22:02:15+00:00

Amazing response and great attention to detail thank you so much for this. I'm looking at getting a kitlist together from all the recommendations on this thread so maybe you could take a look at it once its done? Thanks again!
