Trip Details

George and Amber-Rose take a 3-day trip to the New Forest for New Year’s Eve 2023.

We try to camp over most of New Year’s, and the New Forest is our go-to location. It was a very windy first night, so we had to be careful with deadfalls. A couple of cold camps!

We were testing out our brand new Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2. We were upgrading from a Naturehike CloudUp2 (which we highly recommend), but this new beast is technically so far ahead, with many amazing details.

This is our 24th hiking video in a series where we tell the story of our rewilding trips into nature.

Mindful movement and camping in nature is a cornerstone of our wellbeing.
