No one wants to lug around a heavy pack when they\u2019re trying to enjoy a camping trip in the great outdoors. Add a few of these clever items to your inventory and you\u2019ll thank yourself later.<\/p>\n

What is lightweight camping?<\/h2>\n

If you love to roam the countryside on foot with your camping gear on your back, you\u2019ll want to make sure it\u2019s lightweight. You might be a backpacker who loves hiking from A to B to C; or maybe you\u2019re planning to walk to a remote spot and use it as a base camp to explore from there. Lightweight camping gear is also great for bike-packers and fishers who love overnight trips.<\/p>\n

Lightweight camping involves both choosing light and compact kit, and stripping out all the unnecessary and impractical equipment in your pack to achieve the lowest possible weight. As a general rule, lightweight campers carry no more than 9kg, and ultralight packers take less than 5kg.<\/p>\n

The benefits of lightweight camping are obvious: it\u2019ll make your load more comfortable, improve your agility and reduce the chance of injury. Lightweight gear may also dry out faster after rainy spells.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, lightweight fabrics may not be as warm or durable as more substantial materials. Plus, innovative lightweight products are often more expensive than alternatives.<\/p>\n

Pro tip: <\/strong>As well as buying lightweight camping kit, you could also consider swapping items with a specific use for multi-purpose options like zip-off trousers, bandanas and multi-tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n
