Getting back into camping. On a budget.
I previously had all my camping gear stolen and have slowly been rebuilding my setup. One of the best deals I managed to find was a brand new Naturehike Cloud Up 2 for £50.
I’m planning to start camping again this summer with my 5-year-old son and this is the setup I’m currently looking at:
Sleeping pads:
- Me: Naturehike 3.2R
- Son: Trekology UL80
- Optional extra: folding foam pad if needed
Sleeping system:
- Me: OneTigris Featherlite ultralight quilt
- Son: Quechua 10°C sleeping bag
The plan is to upgrade next year or so to a Big Agnes Rapide SL (I’m a side sleeper) and eventually get my son a better quilt/sleeping bag too.
We’ll mainly be camping June–September in fairly mild conditions, mostly lowland camping with occasional trips to the Lake District.
What do you guys think of this setup? Any advice or changes you’d recommend?
