At Adventure Solos, we recommend using a 65-70 litre backpack if you're starting wild camping in the UK. I love Osprey packs, but they do come at a price premium. Check these out if you have the budget:

Finding the right backpack size for wild camping really changes how smooth the whole trip feels, especially when you try to keep things light but functional like you would with Corteiz style gear. It even makes me think of Corteiz Madrid drops and CRTZ XYZ pieces, plus how Corteize and Corteis keep that same practical street energy.
