As I only really had a few goes at wild camping towards the end of summer / autumn last year and was hiking between in campsites the rest of the time, I'd say a lot of my kit is more geared to campsite camping. This is what I took with me...

... I hope you are sitting comfortably, it is a rather long list

It isn't over yet!

I also had a Day sack, a Mountain Warehouse 10L bike bag, strapped to the rucksack (for when I staying at one site for a couple of days and popped out for a wander) and in the day sack I had:
Water bladder 1L
Packable waterproof trousers and jacket
Gaiters
Another first aid kit
Another emergency blanket
Another emergency shelter
Another survival whistle
Another Swiss army style knife
Another small LED torch
More light sticks
A couple of kit bags
And some snacks for on the go.

Nearly there!

On my person, I had a slightly fancier survival whistle (which had the same as the Poundland ones, plus a built in light, thermometer and magnifying glass) a proper Swiss army knife and a couple of waterproof idiot pouches to put my phone, wallet and keys in.

All of the above might sound like a lot, but there was actually quite a bit of room to spare in both bags (although not quite enough room for the kitchen sink) and I've probably forgot stuff too.

This year I intend to camp out in the wild a lot more, so I'm in the process of cutting the amount of kit and refining the type of kit, I take out with me.

It's been fun so far :D
