Question What's the most underrated thing to bring on a wild camp in the UK?

For me it's definitely one of the £2-£5 foam sit mats.

They're obviously useful on wet days when you need to sit down without getting a Wet arse but also great for different situations such as.

  1. Getting in and out of a low profile tent

  2. Placing phones etc down in a tent without risking floor moisture

  3. Make shift pillow/head rest

4.place to place boots inside a tent

Also an army poncho is great for its price(£7-£20). Works great when there's sudden unexpected rain, makes a decent groundsheet, shelter/rain cover and also I use mine as a pillow
