A lengthy video showing everything I packed for my six-day backpacking hike along the South Downs Way in May 2019. I stayed at campsites and cooked all of my meals along the way.

I'll be releasing a second video (hopefully of a reduced length) highlighting some of the areas where I believe weight can be saved. 18.1kg is A LOT to begin on any trail!

Blog post: COMING SOON
