Overview

Flexibility. Freedom. Fun. Relying on gear that one person can carry - whether on foot, by bike, paddling or even taking the car or motorbike - is great. Throw in great value for money and `green' credentials and it's unbeatable. From picking a campsite in the wild to coping with bad weather, this new guide provides detailed information and advice on how to get the most out of camping light. Practical in its focus, the key factors in tent, stove and sleeping bag purchase are laid bare along with how to make best use of whatever's in your rucksack. Drawing on hard-won experience, the author explains how to cope with camping in cold and hot weather, by water, in the mountains and how to minimise your impact on the outdoor environment.
