It looks like I may be having a few nights out with my new company it’s got me to thinking… What do I need?? Having been in the Boy Scouts I’m sure I can work out some f the basics but what tips and advice can some experiences tramps give? Is it better to self cater or use cafes, any bits of equipment you simply can’t live without? Etc etc
It’s certainly cheaper to self-cater, one of those cheapie cassette gas rings and a saucepan will save you a fortune.
Old suit, shoes with holes in & a handkerchief with a your worldly goods.
A home.

Probably the best advise would be to not refer to trampers as “tramps”

The best sleeping bag you can afford, better than leaving the night heater running all night.
Sheets and a duvet are more hygienic than sleeping bags as you can wash them easily.
Gas stove, kettle, pan, a good book

Nope disagree use night heater all night lol
I was always a sheets and duvet man but have now gone down the king size duvet folded in half road. Makes the mattress more comfy as well as being easy to wash. Sleeping bags are a pain to wash and dry and lose performance every time you do so.
If its only occasionall nights out then a good compromise may be a sleeping bag but with a liner that can be taken home each week for the laundry.
