In this equipment based episode, I hike into an area and set up an overnight camp in thick bushland on the mid NSW north coast. We look at various lightweight equipment that works well for this style of minimalist camping, remembering that bushcraft is not about what equipment you have, it’s about your knowledge and skills!
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
