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!

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 :)

Non state/national parks to backpack in Texas?

Hi 👋 there Looking for some recommendations on places to backpack in Texas that are maybe not state or national parks, reason is I would like to film some drone footage while there and usually that’s a no no in parks. I think they call this “primitive” backpacking or “wilderness” backpacking. It’s definitely not a deal breaker if there are none. I’m thinking of going around mid October for 2-3 days. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Happy trails

Hi, I am searching for a 3/4 day secluded hike route past a lake to swim in and bivouac at. Preferably also some hilly/mountinas areas. Are there some in central/west Europe? Scandinavia and GB/Scotland are sadly out of the option:(

Hey guys, I’m looking for somewhere to go Friday night in the North east of England, anyone have any recommendations of where?

No Forests though

Thankyou!

Hi, does anyone know any suitable pretty outdoor camping locations between uddevalla and strönstad to stay for 1-2 nights? For 2 small tents would be super

Does anyone know a good hikingtrail in the alps sround germany and austria? Should take 2 to 4 days with wilcamping included

Because that's what it seems like to me.

Despite my best efforts, I got bit by a tick and didn't notice until the spot became super inflamed and painful. I wasn't worried because it had gone down in a few days and stopped hurting, but maybe a week or so now, it's inflamed but not stiff. It looks like a blood blister to me and it's suuuuuper painful.

Just curious if I should mosey on to the doctor for this...? Any advice?

Apologies if this isnt the right sub for this post; Im really hoping Im not misunderstanding the rules!

Im currently resting after my latest hiking trip with some wicked muscle soreness and Im really in the mood for a good tv-show about challenging hiking and wildcamping but Im struggling to find anything thats informative. Theres just too many shows where people do idiotic and/or wildly dangerous trips with not enough experience seemingly for the drama and I really want to see people do trips I can learn from. Any recommendations?

hey! I'm going to the dolomites with my friends the 21th for some days, and we would like do a lil wild camping, i know it is a very touristic area so I'm wondering were is it "safe" to do, to not get moved on or worse, fined. i have seen some people on the internet camping at the "tre cime di lavaredo" and we would really like to spend a night there! any of you know a good spot there, so we do not disturb others / get noticed in a wrong way? since its the first time in the dolomites, i really don't know how the whole wild camping stuff is seen / accepted.

P.S we will be camping with 2 small 2 man tent and ofc we are all about respecting the place and leaving it as we found it, so if any of you all can help us find places to have a great time in the nature wile being discreet and not disturb anything/anyone i would really appreciate : )

I am brand new to hiking and have only ever camped on commercial pre made camp sites and a few times on a relatives property that I no longer have access to.

I've done a little bit of research and I'm lead to believe I can just pick a trail in a national forest and as long as I follow park rules and don't do anything stupid, I can walk 4 miles of an 8 mile trail, camp out there for a day or so as long as im not directly on the trail or seen from the trail, then finish the hike and leave without any problems?

And if this does happen to be the case I live in lower Alabama and would like to hear any recommendations for any forests or spots near there, I don't mind paying a fee if I have to, I just want to get away from being clustered with a bunch of people and able to enjoy actual peace.

Currently considering bankhead national forest if what I'm lead to believe is correct. Thank you for the read/help in advance.

So it was my birthday the other day and I got a few bits of kit for wild camping, I’ll list what I’ve got and I’d appreciate if you could let me know if I need anything else • 65L rucksack • 1 man tent • small pots & pans • 2 mesh tins • head torch •sleeping bag •self inflating sleep mat •1L water bottle •stove + gas •dry bag •water proof tarp just incase • dehydrated food • water proof jacket+bottoms

I am going to spend a week in the mountains of France near Chamonix but I have not been able to find any clear information about wild camping in the mountains. I am going to visit the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval region. Maybe someone can help me. Thanks
