'Wild camping' - any tips?

Almost all of my camping is "dispersed camping" in designated wilderness areas, which is called "wild camping" over there. If you have good, lightweight gear, then you should be very comfortable. A water filter is important for your health, drinking from natural water sources. If you will be backpacking far from your entry point, then you will want to keep gear as light as possible. A self-inflating sleeping pad adds to your comfort when you are too far away from the car to have an air mattress. Your tent should have a full rainfly to keep you dry and snug. Usually, a three-person tent is advisable for two people and gear. Waterproof your backpacks with covers as well. Include a tarp if you anticipate rain to stretch the useful space. My preference for warmth at night is a down sleeping bag rated well below the anticipated lowest temperature. Pack layers of clothing to adapt to varying temperatures during the day and night. Take quick-dry synthetic fabrics for base layer and fleece to minimize the damp, cold feeling. Set-up camp at least fifty steps from waterways to avoid damaging the water quality. You can build fitness as you go along. Lightweight dehydrated foods, quick to heat-up or cold foods ready-to-eat are best. No campfire is necessary. Take either an alcohol or propane stove for lightness of weight. Headlamps, rather than torches, will free your hands.
