Lightweight Backpacking and Wild Camping Gear. The Kit I Carried on the Norfolk Coast Path.

Hi folks and welcome back!
Firstly, I hope you are all well and managing to cope under these unprecedented circumstances.
We are all experiencing some difficult and highly restrictive times at the moment due to the current global pandemic. In accordance with the government’s advice, I will not be filming out in the woods for as long as we are in ’lockdown’. I do not wish to place additional workload on the already overstretched NHS and emergency services, should I become unwell or get injured while out in an isolated area. I hope you understand and rest assured that I will be back ‘out’ as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, I will do my best to continue to make videos from my home and garden - I feel a few projects coming on so stay tuned!
In this video, as a response to questions and requests, I will be going through the kit and equipment I carried with me on the second leg of the Norfolk Coast Path. I managed to keep the weight of my gear down to 17 kg including food, water and camera gear (not including my actual camera, which I carried in my hand for the entire 96 miles walked so far!) This load was comfortable and manageable and contained everything I needed for the walk.
I have attempted to list the items below, with links to items where they are still available.
I wish you all well, stay safe and take care.
