Hello everyone
I’m hoping I can pick your brains. I’m looking at doing more long distance walking with overnight stops at campsites.
For context I’m a 5’3 female and used to carrying heavy packs as I’ve done multi day walks before and move from place to place. I usually stay in hotels and B&Bs but the cost can really add up. One day, I hope to wild camp. But, truth is, I’m finding it difficult to take the plunge so I’m trying to build my confidence. I figured that walk/campsite/walk would help with that.
First would you have recommendations for sleeping bags? I’d like a lightweight one that won’t clear my bank account
Also, I’m completely confused by stoves and cooking equipment. All I want is something that I can use for one pot meals and a lovely cup of coffee in the morning (I’m a huge coffee fiend… it’s the only way to start the day!). Any good ones to look at?
And thirdly, and most importantly, I’d love to hear any tips, especially with the benefit of experience - what is essential, what’s unimportant, how you built up your confidence and any nuggets of advice that helped you and will help me!
Thank you so much in advance
