We had a fabulous weekend away, luckily it didn’t rain which is always a bonus.
Tent - Eurohike Sondero 4. Even though there’s us 2 and an elongated dog it’s enough room. Four people would be a squash. Not leaked which is great, we did seal it ourselves with Fabsil, so far, so good.
Very easy to put up and put away, even fits into the bag which is a winner. We used a DD tarp but that wasn’t great, just too small really so will go back to our old tarp next time.
My sleeping bag was the Vango Nitestar 450, no problems at all with warmth but it’s a bulky bugger. I didn’t zip it up it was that warm. Mr NOG used an army military arctic sleeping bag; zip up in the middle - never cold in that either… it’s a bulky bugger too so wouldn’t recommend any of these for backpacking; unless you’re strong like bull!!!
Trekology pillows are ok, after copious use they do deflate a bit but not enough to have a disturbed sleep (might need to upgrade)
The Vango Atom stove is fab and a winner winner chicken dinner. Used the Pathfinder skilled (stainless steel) it’s well used and still the goto pan, (in the photo with some bacon in). Billy can used for boiling water for brews. Cutlery is army issue 3 in 1 with a tin opener, they do the job.
Tin cups are N.O.G. merch and doing well.
The Jackery is one of our best buys, no more EHU when camping which makes it cheaper and much more mobile.
A great book too, The Salt Path is recommended. The dog enjoys a bimble and sleeps on our sleeping bags during the day.
We do love our setup and have not changed it for ages…
Look forward to the next camp ⛺️
