I currently live in central Oklahoma and recently began camping again. Retired for a few years and 58, my wife prefers modern amenities like hvac. I like Billy Strings, Grateful Dead, and can tolerate anything except extreme political and religious viewpoints.
I’m up for anything like a couple days in the middle of anywhere or a road trip to Alaska to sleep under the northern lights.
If you’re laidback and interested let me know.
Does anyone have any ideas on a good pairing of sleeping pad and bag / quilt, either from your own experience or research?
I’m looking at building a decent sleep system for wild camping out in Scotland down to around -10 degrees. I’ve looked at pairing an OEX Flux 7 UL with a leviathan ev900, however, I’ve been advised against it and I can understand why.
Trying to keep costs, down, but I don’t mind paying a bit extra if it’s a good piece of kit that I can put my faith in.
Any ideas appreciated
Hi everyone! I’ve heard that it’s possible to rent camping tents and other camping equipment in Norway, and that it can be quite affordable. Do you know where I could rent these kinds of things?
Also, if you have any recommendations for good, beautiful, and budget-friendly places to visit or stay in Oslo and Stavanger, I’d really appreciate them! 😊
Bit of a nice problem to have, but I get a ridiculous amount of time off throughout the year and I’m determined to stop wasting it 😂
31F, London. I normally have more freedom than most of my friends these days, especially now a lot of them have families, so I’m looking at doing more hikes without waiting for everyone’s calendars to align.
If you could randomly take off on a Tuesday morning, where would you go?
Bonus points for places that are realistic from London without spending half the day getting there.
Me and the boys are all between 23 and 26 at work and we’re planning another camping trip, is it weird if our 50 year old supervisor wants to come with us as he has FOMO badly about it and was jealous about the stories we had to tell last time.
Hey there, I am asking if wildcamping in Serbia is a good idea, Preferably from people who have done it before i will, I'm taking a flixbus from Amsterdam to Belgrade, then to avoid costs, sleep outside the city behind some trees with a Dutch Army Bivy bag i have scoped out using public transport maps going outside the city, should do me good considering it has camo.
I'm not known to this area whatsoever, never even travelled close to it.
I do have good manners though when it comes to wildcamping, been caught before by rangers (In the Netherlands) when i was asleep in the morning, but they have been nice to me as they saw i was leaving no trash and treated the area with care, they actually liked it,
reason why i mention this is because i dont know if the rangers or police in Serbia are as forgiving or nice, which is the only thing that is holding me back here, the question of "What if i get caught"
Hi everyone!
I’m looking for truly remote wild camping spots or regions in Europe — preferably far away from campsites, cities and tourist hotspots.
I know wild camping is restricted or prohibited in many European countries, and I understand that people might not want to publicly share their exact hidden spots. I’m mainly looking for recommendations for regions or hiking areas where you can still find that feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.
My ideal place would have mountains, forests, clear mountain lakes, rivers or natural swimming pools, rocky landscapes and amazing views — something with a bit of a Yosemite/Sierra Nevada vibe.
I’m the type of hiker who wants to hike in, find a quiet place to spend the night, enjoy the scenery and leave the next morning without leaving any trace behind. No fires, no trash, no damage — just respecting the landscape and leaving it exactly as I found it.
I’d especially appreciate recommendations for less touristy areas and hidden gems rather than the famous Instagram locations.
I completely understand if you don’t want to share an exact location publicly — even just pointing me towards a region, mountain range or trail would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi! I’m going camping and I’m very sensitive to stings and bites and everything like that. I’m thinking of making some kind of repellent spray or oil or anything!! Against bugs in general that doesn’t harm the nature. Like herbs and things like that. Would you guys like to help me with ingredients? I’m new to this, thank you!!
Ticks and mosquitoes are a common thing here and I’m in Sweden.
