Hello, I just realised that I have free will and so am planning to visit a friend in Stockport by walking there from Bradford. I am hoping to wild camp just one night somewhere in between Huddersfield and Oldham are there any spots where I am unlikely to be prosecuted/will be tolerated? I will of course abide by Leave No Trace.

If you could give me any specific locations you know are likely to be safe I would greatly appreciate this.

Hi! Which size folding saw from silky is recommended to take on multiday/week hikes in the forests of Scandinavia?

Considering the pocketboy 130-8/10 or pocketboy 170-8/10 but not sure which size branches (scavenged from ground (not cutting trees)) I can cut with this.

me and my friends want to go wild camping in a year when theyre all adults. were thinking either norway or scotland, but what gear should we take with us? this is my current list (this list is for 1 person)

• tent
• good sleeping bag
• good backpack
• gas cooking burner
• medical kit
• knives
• cooking stuff\ spices
• water filtering straws and those bags that filter trough gravity
• bear spray depending on where we go
• fishing rod
• radio or other devices to call for help
• lots of rope
• enough food for the first few days till we restock at a store
• toilet stuff

this is all ive decided on is this good and or what else should i take with us? this will be the first time we do this. and well probably go by ferry and then by car to a spot to camp. thanks for the help

I have a vaude hogan which I picked up through my years in scouts. I can't find a spec sheet for the Vaude hogan.. Only things I can find is for the new UL versions. I think the original is from 1995/1996. Would love to see the specs on it considering it's still holding up til today

This is the only review I have found also

My family is traveling to Sweden for a family reunion and we'd like to rent an RV and travel around Scandinavia.

Is it easy to find campsites to park our RV near big centres overnight (Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, etc.)?

Can we easily drive our RV into these larger cities, find parking and sightsee?

In a pinch, can we find somewhere off the main highway to park our RV for the night?

Are there a lot of places to shower, do laundry and empty the septic tank?

Any tips or advice welcome.

I am male 26 and from Austria/Styria. I search someone which is also interested in camping under a tarp with a sleepbag and just enjoy the nature. I also like to combine it with hiking.

I have a thought of a decent way to go wildcamping in germany and wanted to share my ideas and ask for your feedback before trying out.

I really like wildcamping and i love flexibility and the ability to camp anywhere without too much of a plan, reservations or anything.

This winter slept multipletimes in shelter huts, which are open for use for anybody. Yet i think this won't be an option for the summer, as i think there will be much more people either sleeping or disturbing there. I think this is only the option in winter, when its mostly dark and the areas where such huts are, are mostly empty.

For summer trips, i needed an alternative thats more reliable, yet with the same flexibility.

So heres my plan:

Use a hammock sleep system and use it somewhere off the tracks a bit deeper in the forrest.

Advantages:

• Useage of a camo tarp should hide it pretty good
• You dont need even surfaces, just 2 tress
• Its a lightweight way of sleeping
• You can sleep off the tracks, as you can simpy enter the forrest on a Wildwechsel way and put up your hammock
• You have small forrest everywhere in germany and by sleeping deeper in the forrest, you shouldnt be found, even in smaller forrests

In conclusion: You don't get found easily and are very flexible, as hammocks are perfect for in-forrest camping, where arent many people, even in summer.

Maybe someone has tried this out and provide feedback.

Friends, it's 2025, and we still need to say this: bury your toilet paper or pack it out. No one hikes 10 miles for breathtaking views only to stumble upon your origami experiment in the wild. Nature is not your gallery. Let’s keep the trails pristine—because nothing ruins "wild" like toilet paper waving in the wind

Hi, I was curious if anybody has any experience with drying their own meals with vegetarian chicking in it. Does it work and does it dehydrated/re-hydrated properly?

Just ordered the X-Mid 2 solid. Looking forward to getting out in it.

What size poles are recommended? I have some trekking poles that go to 120cm, will these be suitable?

Thanks.

I headed over to Snowdonia for a camp on the Glyderau, the last one of 2024. As always, a fantastic night spent in the mountains.

Hello all! This is my first post on this sub Reddit page, thank you for having me!

I recently did a wild camping trip in one of the most haunted castles in the UK.

This was in candleston castle and we camped in the forest, in the castle grounds! If you’re not petrified of everything that moves at night then it’s a great place to go!

Unfortunately it won’t allow me to post any photos!

If you want to see it and you have a few spare moments then you can see here! https://youtu.be/YEg5-Fa_wnM?si=uqJfsocAgdtzgI0P

Thank you!

Hi, im planning to do a hike nearby Winterberg between christmas and new years eve. When i was looking at Google Maps i saw a lot of Grillplatze or regular Hutte (Hanua Hutte on mountain Hanua). When i look at the reviews i see sometimes its available to book a night in there. But i cant find out how i can book the night. Any has expierence with this? Or is it always open and first come first serve?

Or does anybody have a tip where i can find huts that i can book? A lot of gasthauses are full and hotels are a bit to expensive. Want a cheap holiday.

Or a tip on how i can find huts that are okay to sleep in. Last year i did a hike in the Black Forest and when i was hiking i came by alot of huts that where okay to sleep in but when i was planning my hike i couldnt see those huts on any map. Or is it just having some luck?

Hi so I have 2 pairs of craghopper kiwi trousers and they are perfect I love them and wear them literally every day. I have tried loads of trousers but they are all too tight on my thighs. Does anyone have any suggestions of baggy/looser trousers?

Here you can find it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: link

I think it's technical illegal to wild camp along this route, but this guy managed to get away with it. What are people's experiences?

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McEPPTBKp1g

Have you ever visited this area? With my video I wish to provide a relaxing option to those who are stuck inside, maybe due to work, bad weather, severe cold or anything really. If you are a bit like me, you are probably watching outdoor videos during your free time too, so I hope this brings you joy, as much as we enjoyed hiking in the autumn forest.

Hey guys. For the next year, a friend and I are planning to camp in the nature for a few days. We are looking for a good spot/region in Sweden, Norway oder Finland for this and I hope to get some recommendations from you. Our only requirements for the spot are that it is close to water and a forest and it should be reachable with a 1-3 h hike from public transport. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone ,

I have wild camped twice before and absolutely loved it . I really want to give my younger cousins this experience and have volunteered to take them on their first wild camping trip. They’re proper city mouse’s all living in London aged 18-21 . I don’t want to scare them off with a really tough trail .

This is a 1 night trip and I want to do a relatively short trail (potentially an easy summit too if possible) . And a place to set up our wild camping tents, near a lake of some sort or a place with a beautiful view. Please give me any suggestions I would so greatly appreciate it. We are done for literally anywhere in Snowdonia as I already have all the waterpoof OS MAPS covering the whole national park. We have a car so am willing to park as close to the summit as legally possible ofc. Do not want to break any wild camping rules or anything .

The plan is to get them hooked and then I will build up to harder and longer trips across the years.

Hey everyone,

I’m would like to plan my first-ever hiking trip with bivouac this fall and could really use some advice on how to get started. Does anyone have recommendations for apps, websites, or books that can help me plan my route and find good bivouac spots?

Since I’m a complete beginner, I’d also love some suggestions for easy-to-moderate trails if got anything in mind.Plus, any practical tips on gear, and how to leave no trace, would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance for your tips and recommendations

Hello Campers,

I just saw that Coleman and Rocksport are organizing a camping event, and I believe it’s the perfect experience for campers like us. I just wanted to share it with my Reddit family!

Hey everyone,

I live in Germany and absolutely love hiking. I’ve explored many trails, especially in Southern Germany and the Alps. Now, I want to take it a step further and try wild camping. I know that wild camping is technically illegal in Germany, but I’m hoping to find some discreet spots where others have had good experiences.

If anyone has recommendations for peaceful, secluded spots in the South or the Alpine region, I’d really appreciate it!

Summer's Over: Charlie's Bunion a Biodiverse Wonderland https://youtu.be/LvNpwTjtCjk

Having a conversation with fellow hikers/outdoor enthusiasts and got into a hot debate.

If you had to apply to get a certificate with evidence for climbing particular summits/routes/challenges like all the wainwrights/munroes/welsh 3000s or like the 3 peaks in 24 hours, and in return received maybe a patch or something, would you do it?

If not, why?

Some points we discussed:

1. Would it increase footfall to these places for people who just want a certificate?
2. Would it encourage people to try to summit/complete even if the weather/conditions is/are bad?
3. What if it could be an opportunity/touchpoint for people to receive helpful resources when thinking about trying something challenging? For example, Leave No Trace education or mountain rescue information...
4. It's a nice way of encouraging memorabilia that doesn't harm the environment like bits of plastic? (assuming it's done sustainably)

What do you think?

Hello guys, i am currently planning my first ever hike. I´ll be headed to Scotland. Me and my cousin are comming from Oporto (Portugal) and have an entire week (8 days). Do you have any interesting spot recomendations such as cool ruins/trails/water bodies for us ? We were thinking about going to "The Quiraing" (4 days, 3 nights) and the "Hidden Valley" (3 days, 3 nights).
Also, we are having quite trouble on how to go from Edimburg to Portree, is the bus/train a good option? Should we depart from glasgow/london(?) instead ?

Thank you for the help :)
