CAMPSITE COOL

A raft of ideas (and just a raft)

Sea to Summit Alto TR1

Designed for fast solo expeditions, this one-person, semi-freestanding, three-season shelter weighs less than a kilo and packs down to the size of a Pringles tube. You get 1.8m2 of sleep space, plus fully taped seams with a 1200mm hydrostatic head to protect from outside flurries and an apex vent system to prevent breathy condensation build-up.

£385 / seatosummit.co.uk

Ruckraft

Don’t let little obstacles like rivers and lakes put a dampener on your adventure. This fully inflatable raft comes with a giant drybag that happily swallows up and waterproofs a full 70-litre expedition pack. The raft inflates in 30 seconds, supports up to 320kg of your worldlies… and when you step ashore it all packs down adding just 1kg to your carry weight. £140 / abovebelow.sc

Jetboil Mightymo

Adventurers shouldn’t have to wait for sustenance, or sacrifice hot food for lighter packs. The Mightymo weighs less than a deck of cards, folds down to 7.5x5cm (without the fuel canister) and boils in around minutes. Jetboil’s Fluxring cookpots work without extra support to save weight, and the Mightymo will heat your treats with half the fuel burn of a regular stove. £60 / jetboil.co.uk

Alpkit Cloud Base

For anything beyond quick overnight adventures, floor-crashing is an explorer’s fast ticket to rubbish sleep, followed by creaks and aches. For 420g extra pack weight, this inflatable mattress provides a lump-busting

6ft of sleep space, with a 5cm cushion between you and the floor. A wide valve makes it easy to inflate and quick to squeeze back down to 28x8cm. £38 / alpkit.com
