Great advice, I did my first wild camping trip last March but haven’t been on my own since, I suffer with chronic anxiety and really struggle to cope. I managed to get through the night but it wasn’t what I had expected, KZbin channels tend to romanticise it, but the reality is never the same as the fantasy. I know this sounds negative, but I’m still learning and wanting to get out there again. My first wild camp film is on our channel.

This has been aided in no small part by Summit or Nothing videos. Fantastic tips and equipment testing has helped refine my equipment selection at times. Thank you to all who have built a fantastic channel.

On my first trip wild camping I woke up in the night and I thought someone was trying to open the door to my tent. I was petrified and just stared at the doorway... ...then I heard a neigh. I shone my torch outside and sure enough there were a few Dartmoor Ponies nosing around.

My first camp was at Shelstone tor and from then on twice a month Ive been going solo all over Dartmoor ! I'm currently out now snug in my tent , wind rain today¡ And after having to bail on 3 attempts it's nice to be out, everyone I see asks If I get scared, well no but I try and plan ahead! However the people you meet are mostly in awe and could never imagine doing that but it's an incredible experience and personal one for many reasons . You learn as you go and I don't like cows ! But I'm planning some longer hikes over a couple of days and you get to learn the tors , the landscape and terrain which each time you go out you get better at navigation and being on your own. It's addictive.

Great tips Trev. If I were to add advise, I would say, Just go. For your first wildcamp just aim for 1 night, go in the summer and dont try anything too extreme. Go somewhere quite near to where you can park your car, don't take "extras", leave it in the car, you dont need spare clothes etc, you can change when you are back at your car. If you are doing it right nobody will know you are there and you probably wont see anyone anyway. Also don't worry about it being perfect, it probably won't be, but you will still love it.

Then when I did my first solo backpack trip I was ready …. Of course I dialed in my gear from there to lighten up my load . We are lucky here in the states where’s there are so many state and country park campgrounds …. Not truly wild … more rustic 😂 but you still get to experience the great outdoors 👍👍

I personally have a concern that really bothers me: secure parking. While I was living in Exeter I enjoyed both Dartmoor & Exmoor NP very much, but I have also witnessed many times motorcycle/bicycle got stolen and cars broken in/vandalised. It may sound strange but this is the main issue that puts me off from overnight wild camping. I know this is no one's responsibility but I would really love to see some sort of secured parking facility set up by NP. I would be happy to book in advance and pay in exchange for peace of mind.

Loving your content! I camped as a child with my dad and brothers and always wanted to do it as an adult, I sacked off the idea though due to not being a driver and thinking small light backpacking gear would be too expensive. Your videos inspired me to look in to it further and I was pleasantly surprised as to how affordable it could be. I purchased a cloud up 1 tent a couple of weeks ago, this week I picked up a forclaz mt900 up rucksack, both coming in together at just under a very respectable 3kg. Just need to get my sleeping gear together, cook-set and all the other little bits, I already have a few useful things and I have clothing as I'm an outdoors person any way, I'm a cyclist too. I can't wait to get out for my first solo wild camp, and just wanted to let you know that your videos have been massively inspirational for me. I'm in north London area at the moment and have plenty of countryside near by, whenever I am out on my mountain bike I'm scoping out spots that are inconspicuous enough to camp. 😂 This summer or maybe next, me and my family hope to move down to Devon in the Exeter area, I am so looking forward to doing some wild solo camps on Dartmoor, I can't wait.

I was 8 for my first camp in my grannies garden. I was 14 for my first solo. In a £5 second hand campari silver blue tent. I had it for years till it rotted at the stitching. Im now in my 50s and still camping. Ive had foxes sheep deer cows goats rats and mice visit me.. The worst to visit are humans when you want alone time. I have various encounters with gillies and land owners. I have had a few start hostile but they left happy that ide be gone just after first light. Pompous git demanded my name and address which I gave and said ide take pictures of the area when packed to prove no mess. He arrived on his quad the back of 7 as I was finishing my breakfast. He apologised for his manor. He was trying to catch low life scum who used that spot for all sorts. I was passing by a farm and stopped to let the tractor by> I flagged him to stop and asked if I could pitch in the corner of a field as it was early evening and there was nowhere for miles that was any good and it was torrential rain. After a short chat he offered me a shed to stay and dry my gear. It had power too. I got given a plate of mince and taties Man that hit the spot. He said there was going to be lorries of hay coming in the early morn he was going to offload to store.. I asked if he wanted a hand He laughed and asked if I could drive a telehandler to which I said yes I can lol. After a quick shot to prove I was up at 6.30 for breakfast that would have done nearly three people we were ready to fill the shed. The dinner was Irish stew and I struggled to eat it all. He gave cash for the days work. Its nice to be nice and you never know how far it might get you.

Hi Trev. Great advice, for those a bit worried about it all. I personally think that the older generation don’t have too much of a problem with ‘wild Camping’, as they call it now, as most people when they were kids, were often told to ‘get out from under their parents feet’, which they often did. I was a late ‘60’s kid, that often went off down the local woods and stayed out all night. No batteries, internet, phones, just an imagination and a will to live! Probably harder for people to go out now, as too many people to listen to on the internet about what can go wrong. Just get out and do it, and if you live to tell the tell, then even better!🤣😉 All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧🏕
