How to camp lightly?
When choosing gear opt for lightweight options. Steer away from bulky items. Only pack what you need and avoid over packing. Practice packing your backpack to ensure items are evenly distributed and it’s comfortable to wear.
Your backpack is likely to be lighter during summer months when less kit is needed. Store items inside each other to make the most of the room in your bag. A saucepan is the perfect home for clean socks.
