just become mates with a lad who I met at the local offroad park, he goes bush camping twice a month with a mate, they pretty much take a big knife and not a lot else. Make shelter, kill and eat what they can etc
I love camping and do it with the minimum basics as most times its just tent and a few clothes, whatever will fit on the back of my motorbike. My other mate does camping with the missus and kid, in a tent the size of a house, full size chair, widescreen TV, nintendo wii, thats not my idea of fun. My fav campsite is the national trust one at great langdale near ambleside, set in a lovely valley and theres no phone signal on the mobile. Just silence. Love it
