Classic English Countryside Camping (Wind, Rain & Burnt Chilli)

I had an incredible time wild camping in the beautiful English countryside with my mate Pottsy, carrying all my gear in the Durston Kakwa 40l backpack. We found a great sheltered spot to pitch, and I was excited to relax in my camp chair (Sea to Summit sleeping pad chair ) sheltered in my Nortent Vern 1 3S . As the chilly winds picked up, I brewed a hot coffee with my MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe and cooked a spicy Stag Chilli on the Fire Maple Petrel to stay warm.
