- After three years of wild camping, I feel like I’ve finally dialled in my gear to only include what I really need. On this camp I talk you through everything I pack for an overnight camp. Come along!
Thanks for watching! Ben 🤓

It's great to see how an experienced camper has chiseled their kit down. Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel and am currently binge watching your entire output.
I'm in my fifties, clinically obese and have a dodgy (i.e. buggered) knee. In order to address these problems I have decided to walk the Ridgeway next year as it starts not too far from where I live. Your videos and advice are very helpful.
I particularly like your budget vids as the inspiriation for my personal oddyssey started when my dear old Dad found an old pair of barely broken in boots in his garage. I have an old Lidl backpack (might actually buy a half decent one as the Lidl one is way too small), an Asda hoodie, some ratty old joggers, a cheap poncho and a New York Mets baseball cap to keep the sun off of my rapidly expanding bald patch. I did buy a new single Trekology walking pole which has already saved me several times from a faceful of mud during my "training" walks.
However, I may now have to buy a tent as this wild camping lark looks like a lot of fun. The last time I wild camped was over thirty years ago on Dartmoor during Royal Navy basic training. Believe me, what you call a tarp and what we used to call a tarp differ by about 20 kilos!
Please keep up the excellent work Sir!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Wild camping sure is fun - give it a go! Worse case you don't like it and sell your tent on (probably for a profit in the current climate 😆). You don't need to walk/travel too far either to find a spot that feels like you're in the middle of nowhere.
Congratulations on the 3 years Ben I’ve picked up a lot of useful tips watching your videos keep it up mate 👍🏴
Thanks 👍 will do!
Great video, nice to see what you pack for an over nighter, so easy to pack way to much gear.
I love the lanshan 2 tent. After watching all of your videos it's cool to see how your kit has evolved. Outstanding setup. Cheers
Thanks 👍 I’m sure it’ll change again by next month 🤣
Nice idea on the lamb shank … first time I’ve seen someone do that … came out great 👍👍 looks like we have a very similar kit setup even down to the Trekology poles (which for the money frankly you can’t beat!!) my kit works for me and will probably work for you on long distance multi day hikes.. I find it’s a nice balance of weight and comfort👍👍 thanks for reviewing the stoves great advice for folk looking at getting into backpacking 👍👍
Top tip wear cycling shorts, or base layer shorts for hiking instead of boxers. They are much more comfortable and prevent rubbing when sweaty
'You don't need 9 thousand lumens to have a slash.' Classic! 😂👍
😆
Thanks Ben . I really enjoy your videos-you get the point across, but you dont take yourself too seriously-brilliant!
Nah life’s too short for serious 😆
Nice ridge line setup!
Fire Maple products are excellent across the board without fail
Great vid, love the ridge line suspended tent, am not a fan if silnylon tho. My fav stove is the kovea spider after that one i never bought another stove.
Great video mate
Thanks mate 🤓👍
Ace man .
Your ridge line and prusiks should be two different gauges of paracord, the prusiks being smaller so they bite in more and don't slip as much on the ridge line in the wind etc
I only have one gauge 😆
Impressed with the Fire Maple brand
Me too to be fair 👍
Your kit is getting well sorted, and these videos are better every time. the stoves `look` fairly wind resistant with the bowl design, but I tend to use a foil windbreak anyway. i think the sheer weight of sausages kept the pan in place;)
regarding water, i dont like a bottle i cant see through (nearly swallowed a centipede once)
Great video. Good job on setting up your tent with cordage. You went lightweight but still had everything you needed for a comfortable camp.
Thanks mate 👍
Hi Ben, I was looking at the Vango Heddon 100, treking pole tent, looks awesome with very good reviews, only about 130 Quid!
Try gunpowder tea as an alternative to with no milk or sugar, very refreshing
Drop a whisper or fredo frog in those hot chocolate sachets. Massively improves the taste an texture
Ooh good idea 👌
Another top video Daley. It's surprising just how little you need for a comfortable night.
Compared to your set up, mine looks huge lol, and I think the only extra stuff I have is a 3 in 1 lantern, powerbank, clock, and a chair
(And that's for car camping)
I reckon every person you ask will have a different set up. Mine changes every month 😆
Cheers, good fair revues, I tend to use a fire box or trangia, I have been toying with the idea of a burner in the style of the ones you showed, Thanks.😁👍
Worth having one even if just as a backup I think 👌
Brilliant ... balanced diet twix and sausages .... still chuckling 😂
🤣
I am a member of team cob, that's right: COB!😁
Correct.
Great video as always - interesting what you said about Olight - I have two ; one is a pen torch which is very useful for having as a standby however the refills are rubbish and when you come to use it it has always dried up . Luckily I found a manufacturer who makes a refill that fits and they have been cheaper and way more effective so far never letting me down. The other Olight is a torch that can be clipped into a head band ( never used as too heavy) but the battery life is rubbish and I am reluctant to spend ridiculous money on an official replacement battery - so will be on the hunt for another compatible rechargeable. With footprints I bought some plastic sheet used for window insulation ( the one you can heat shrink to fit window with hairdryer) it is very lightweight and super tough taking up very little space .
i have a huge collection of equipment and ofcourse a whole bunch of stoves i have the msrs and the sotos and the jetboils and a whole bunch of other one i tested both the polaris stoves (also the one that look a bit like a jetboil) and they are brilliant even though i dont like most of the other fire maple products
Lots of great content in this one Ben, and even some Bushcrafty skills 😂 i also love it when you throw in a Sausage COB (aka circle of bread) or 2/3. We have a similar camping style and ive based a lot of my kit on your videos / reviews. Ps i wont get rid of my nalgene bottle though as its reppin a retro Daley Outdoors LNT sticker on it 🤙🏼
Cheers mate! Priceless Nalgene there 🤣
this is why I like you, could have gotten yourself some free gear (specifically the olight) and was like nah fam I've got me decathlon one lol that did make me chuckle
Real talk tho how the light tor compared to the exped in terms of comfort, im looking for a new mat and my thermasrest isn't doing it for me comfort wise lol (side sleeper)
I find the light tour the comfiest by far. I think any mat with the same kind of ‘dimple’ design rather than baffles will be comfort for side sleepers
Really enjoyed the review of gear. Not sure why you need such a large frying pan, that would be wt saver for sure.
It's only 8'' 🌭
Removable batteries should be a bonus really, specially if its a standard sized battery.
Maybe. I’ll stick with the X2 👍
Sausage surprise 😂
Thanks, enjoyed your tips and bought some kit. Couldn't find the Light Tour air mat though, is it still around?
Yes you can get it at Collins outdoors

My first year of wild camping was going out with 18kg on me back looked like I was ready for Armageddon for 4 yrs on 9kg without the beer..loving the twix don’t do sausage haha..like yourself have too many tents.sleeping mats and stoves..great insight into your load out…😊
Cheers mate. I’m usually around 10kg now all in. Starting to add more comfort kit back in now though 😆
I gave up on the hot chocolate sachets, I'm not a fan of the mess it leaves, already paranoid about finding water or carrying way too much otherwise. I have found tea powder, both with and without milk powder already in it. Nothing with sugar or sweeteners yet though.
That's my kind of 'balanced diet' Ben ☺️✌️
Good little set up...shame you didn't pack a Ruby though 😉
It’s all about balance 👌
@@DaleyOutdoors Yeah...and not sharing your sausages with Ruby 😁
truth to be told you for got your poles lol
Eh up. Look at you getting the Bushcraft bug! Well done on 3 years - is it only 3 years?
Yep - three years this month. Feels longer 😆
First in!!!!🎉
👌
🥇
Good vid, this. A lot of experience distilled down., very useful. And tea is Satan's wee-wee anyway.
#TEAMBARM 😉
😱
Three sausage baps was a step too far for me, agree on the hot chocolate as a lot less faff 🍄
Real men eat four.
🌭🌭🌭🌭🍄@@DaleyOutdoors
Brilliant idea using a ridgeline instead of the poles, but is it as stable? 🤔
Depends how good your ridge line is 🤷♂️
Have you got any issues with sleeping mat?, cause mine failed after 2 weeks of using
No issues so far. I've used it 10+ times now. I hope I don't have issues as it's the only mat I own now 😬
What have you got against Polish people? 😅
Nuffink
Dan Becker talks 💩 🤣🤣🤣
Ban Decker 🤤
@@DaleyOutdoors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
with the pure ignorant flimsyness of tent floors these days you do need a decent under protector n probaly better than they sell to go with de tent smh... what happened t real tents w a full floor inc patio that was almost bomb proof even if it did weigh a bit..tis silly i think
