sup bros. trying to figure out how campers/hikers manage to carry all their shit for overnighters without being burdened by the weight and bulk?
so i did one solo camp and once with a friend, only sleeping out one night for both. i felt overwhelmed desu. i had a cheap 2man tent which i bought years ago for a music festival. sleeping pad which folds and is reflective. sleeping bag with liner. one of those fake helinox chairs and a little folding table. those are the bulkiest and heaviest things i had (excluding the 3l bladder). ofc i could get rid of the table and chair, that's fine. but the tent + pad + bag + liner + food + water + spare clothes + lantern + cooking gear + first aid kit.... fuck idk it felt lik a lot of shit. i managed to use my 35l pack, stuff it full, then strap the pad, bag and tent on the outside. if i had to hike anymore than an hour i would have cried. i was also cold af when i slept. i used to love camping as a kid in scouts and the vibe of nature and being out with friends is neat, but, i feel like a little bitch with all my complaints.
how can i make it easier and/or how do i toughen up? i'm determined to try again.
