Family consists of two adults, one 10yo and border terrier. I'm thinking of an overnight trip hopefully leading to a backpacking week for summer. We've loads of options that we're spoilt for choice. I wondered what the more experienced wild campers on here reckon would be the best option.
We have our cycle touring tent, a 4 season helsporr 3 man tunnel tent with extended porch weighing 3.1kg and very small pack size.
I like my ul tarp and bivvy option sub kilo i think. If I take this the others can use a small tent out of the following...
My partner's lightweight vango or force 10 supposedly 2 man tent at about 1.5kg
We have a 2 plus kg 2 man vango that's a decent size for two plus dog and bags but not as compact.
I think we have other tents that I can't remember. One is a force 10 single skin 2 man.
I think the 3 man first option makes the most sense but I'm a fan of my tarp / bivvy combo. Withstood a force 6 on top of a lakeland fell once so very weather resistant when pitched sensibly.
Any advice on wildcamping / backpacking with kids and dog?
