I've used a 70l backpack since DL 2013 and it's extremely comfortable even when full. Also a little tip for keeping clothes dry and easier to pack, put them in vacuum bags!

Seems like a good list if you like camping. If, like me, you have no inclination or time to cook and prefer to be out of the tent as much as possible, then a good quality 2-3 man tent is the way to go. Wastes less space on the campsite, lighter and easier to pitch. I bought a 'fresh and black' pop up tent from Decathlon this year and it was perfect -the lining blocks out the light so you can go to bed at 3:30 and sleep until 9 without the 6am sun and heat waking you up

Great tent - I have the Sendairo 5 which is the slightly bigger air version of yours. I've used it every year since 2016 and it's been brilliant. In 2016 when the storms were destroying people's tents, mine stood it's ground and never leaked once

I’m going to Download for the first time and your videos are really good for noobies like myself hahahaha I would appreciateif you could do a video about the camping sites. For example, what’s the difference between the blue and yellow sites? Is the rip camping area for whoever is gonna party 24/7? 😂
@Naomi-vc2bt
2 жыл бұрын
Total shift in the site now so the camps will be different. Essentially, closer to the village, the louder, busier it is, with more of a party atmosphere. I’ve been going on/off since 2007, and usually would be the nearest to the village. RIP packages are more for comfort, so tends to be quieter I believe.
