>>1117951Yeah, of course, toothpaste as well. Baby wipes for crotch/under your arms. If you're going with someone else a deodorant never hurted anyone, but will be much appreciated once you set up camp.
>>1118330The good thing about wilderness camping is that it's essentially free. Everything from you leaving the Netherlands to you arriving in the real /out/side though will be most expensive in Norway, followed by Sweden and then France.
Since you don't sound like an experienced alpinist, you're probably not going to the alps or pyrinees, so I would probably reccommend Norway or Sweden. Both countries share the same philosophy when it comes to the outdoors, which is detailed here:

In the end it all comes down to what type of nature you'd like to experience.
>>1118856They're quick and easy to assemble, have a good weight-to-size ratio (generally also weigh less and take up less space), and they're usually equipped with a practical awning (no idea if this is the right word - the door part outside of the inner tent). You can also regulate the ventilation easier than dome tents.
Cons:
- Depends on you being able to get the guy-lines right
- Noisy in strong wind
- Lower ceiling height than dome tents
- Can't handle as much pressure (snow, etc)
Pros of a dome tent:
- Can take more wind
- Freestanding, making it easier to set up on tough surfaces (rocky ground etc, see pic related)
- Not as loud
- Better ceiling height
- The dome structure makes rain and snow pour off easier
Cons:
- Harder to assemble
- Usually no awning (hope this is the right word)
- Ventilation is usually only in the top, meaning you can't air out if it's raining
