Hi there, I've been a big time fan of bushcraft / wild camping and have visited the lakes a few times to have a bit of rest and relaxation,
However uptill now I've always lugged too much stuff around with me - mostly normal camping equipment from gooutdoors or maplins, and to be honest - it does put a dampner on things when your backpack is heavier than you.
I'd like to go lighter and to this end I've got between 1 and 3oo pounds to spend on a 3-4 night stay near ben nevis this coming september.
I've decided I want to try using a hammock, as it sounds cool, and will help lighten my load, and I'd like to carry the minimum possible to have a comfortable few nights
I've been looking at this as a good starter set : http://www.ddhammocks.com/product/pack-full and if you, more experienced people think this is suitable what else would you suggest I need?
I've looked at the swedish stove on a few Army surplus sites, is this any good or is there something better I could use?
Thanks for all your help, and if this is the wrong forum I apologise..
