Equipment

All Inclusive Wild-Camping

Our main USP is that we provide all of the wild-camping equipment required to have a safe and enjoyable experience in the mountains. We have years of experience in testing and trying out gear for long-distance and multi-day adventures, and continue to refine what we offer so it’s always the best.

The trick in multi-day lightweight trekking, in particular, is to carry the minimum and to make sure that what you do carry is light, effective and what you really need!

Lightweight trekking gear can be very expensive and for your Multi-Day Trek we aim to provide quality items for you to use without having to buy them. This is a great way to try out gear before you do buy your own and learn how to make your future multi-day trekking experiences less arduous by informed gear choice and use.

Where can you buy the gear you need?

If you need to purchase outdoor gear before a trek, we can help advise and guide dependent on your requirements. We highly recommend Ultralight Outdoor Gear as an online ‘one-stop-shop’ for all equipment needs. If you are already in Aviemore or Braemar, we can recommend Cairngorm/Braemar Mountain Sports where the staff will help to ensure you are appropriately clothed for the conditions of the Cairngorms.
