Basics are the same. Usual variable is food & a few more clothes.

In answer to what size is my rucksack... sort of Fiesta shaped

I take what I have decided is the minimum, for me, for my own comfort and what I like to do, be that cooking in the open on my little stove, or sitting in a comfortable chair watching the stars emerge.

A good night's sleep is essential.

I agree to the comment about food and clothes being one of the key differences between a one-nighter and longer stay. Longer stays would entail a cool box of some description.

I tend to go somewhere during the day but the camp experience just chillin', is all part of my micro-escapes too. Although I did camp for a couple of nights when working at Salisbury Museum giving a talk and dance class on Egyptian music and dance. I needed the laptop for that too.

I've not done a carry and camp ... not sure I could!!!

All power to those who can and do.

There aren't any rules, just what's right for you and what you are prioritising.

Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.

Dorothyinoz...I cool the milk (or cider) in a bucket of cold water - the old fashioned way 🙂 My trusty Titan double burner and grill makes great full english. I also buy individual cereal packs or the porridge pots. Happy camping.
