My GEAR SHOP

Let's Go Shopping :D

Gear I Own & Use

Fancy a treat? Here's the wild camping & hiking gear that I either use now, or have enjoyed using in the past.

These gear item links are affiliate links - this means that WildBeare makes a small commission from any sales made via these links, at no extra cost to yourself - a great way to support the channel. Thank you so much for supporting WildBeare!

My Tents & Shelters

I'm also using the Hilleberg Soulo for winter or bad weather camps
New and currently trying out..

​For clearing up condensation & other tenty bits..

Bivi Bags

I loooove bivi bags! I use them for most of my tarp camps, in tents to prevent condensation getting my sleeping bag wet, and always carry one as back up in case of tent failure or emergency - one of these could save your life.

I like to use my Hunka XL when I want my entire sleep system inside it, including the mat. Or, the Hunka Regular if I don't need my mat inside the bivi bag. When I just want a really lightweight option to use inside a tent, I grab my Kloke.


My Sleep System

My current favs for my adventure-bed :) I use the Rab Ascent 900 during winter, my Leviathan OEX 900 in Spring & Autumn and my new Rab Ascent 500 in Summer. Or, the Snugpak Jungle Blanket or One Tigris Down Blanket on really warm summer nights. For most camps you'll see me using my Thermarest mats on a foil foam mat, to reflect some heat back. Along with my Trekology Aluft Pillow for extra comfort

My Hammocks

I currently have 3 hammocks - the DD Travel Hammock Bivi which is heavier, but can be used as hammock or a bivi on the ground. And the DD Frontline Superlight hammock, which is lighter, and easier to set up with the included whoopie sling suspension system and has a bug net. And then the DD Superlight Hammock which is lighter still but has no bug net. I always use a DD Underblanket for warmth - even in summer. I find the underblankets so much more comfortable than a mat sliding about under me.

I sometimes use a DD Superlight Tarp over my hammock - but if I can, on a dry night, I love to go tarpless under the stars

My Tarps

I love tarps! Either on their own, over a hammock or with a bivi bag. My favourite currently is my DD Superlight - lots of tie out points, light, and so much you can do with it... loads of fun

Pegs & Carabiners

As spares, to replace lost pegs, specialised snow pegs, or extras to use when tarping and hammocking

Ground Tarps

I use these on the ground when hammock, tarp or bivi camping.

My current fav for my multi-night adventures is my new 46g DCF ground tarp from Wild Sky Gear, used along with with 2g titanium pin pegs for an ultra-lightweight area to sit on for lunch, dry off on when I get out of the water, or pop on the ground outside my tent.

Sit Mats

Keep my bum warm & dry

Camo Fun


Rucksacks, Dry Bags & Waist Bags

I am also currently a bit obsessed with the lightweight DCF dry bags and zip pouches from Wild Sky Gear. 

Navigation & PLB


Maps

I adore paper maps! I like to use these big maps to look over large areas and plan trips, then when I've decided on a location, I order a small custom map of the area that I'll be heading to from Custom OS Maps

Wild Swimming & River Crossings 


Back at home between trips, consider washing your swim clothes and swim shoes in products that are kinder to the water..

Tick, Mozzie & Midge Prevention

💧 It's best not to enter wild water if you have bug sprays applied to your skin. Due to repeatedly receiving tick bites (I got as many as 50 during one summer!) I do treat my outer hiking clothing that will be in contact with long grass etc, with anti-tick treatment. I also treat my rucksack. Ticks can transmit disease and pose a serious risk to your health. It's really important to check yourself over thoroughly at the end of each day. Use a hand mirror to check in all the nooks and places you can't see. I do sometimes use bug sprays and lotions on my skin in my local woods when I won't be in any water, and also use candles, incense and natural oils

Filming | GoPro 10

I'm currently using 2 GoPro 10's. Love these for wet weather, when I need to be hands-free or just for simple, easy filming on the go

Filming | DJI Mavic Mini Drone

Great bit of kit when I'm not crashing it into a mountain

Filming | Trail Cam


Computer & Editing


Photography

I don't usually bring these on my hikes as they're too heavy - but I do occasionally use them for local filming, or to create night sky time-lapses

Car Camping

Some bits that I use car camping... just getting into this, will update as I go :)

The Adventures of a £21 Tent

​This was £21 when I bought it in Feb but apparently it’s now £28. Looks like I got myself a bargain.

I'm having fun testing this tent with the necessary precautions and back-up plans. I wouldn't rely on it in cold or bad weather. It might make a nice shed for your camping chairs though.

Storage


Climbing

I'm just starting out learning to climb :) Here's what I'm starting with..

​Previous Wild Camping Gear

Good, simple gear that I started out with, or no longer use because it's been upgraded to smaller / lighter / warmer alternatives. Generally much cheaper, but usually heavier, bulkier and the sleep system is only suitable in warm weather.
