Any of you guys big into camping, like being in rural Aus camping is such a standard thing that everyone does but I don't know whether its really popular internationally.
Also if you do go camping what kind of gear are you taking?
Depends if your going base camping or hiking. I recommend you start out base camping with a few day hikes then transition to full hiking trips. Gives a bit more comfort at camp and a fair bit lighter pack weight if your starting off hiking. Also means you can do stuff like fishing, paddle boarding and surfing depending on where your camping
Same, I've been a scout for most of my life. Currently in Rovers and a section leader for a local group. Haven't gone hiking in a while more a fan of 4x4 touring these days. Nice swag, awning, fridge full of cold beers.
Also have you been to the international centre in Kandestag. Would recommend went there last year hiking European mountains and crossing a glacier was pretty all time.
