Wild Camping in Heavy Rain in my new Naturehike Tent

Yes, you can have fun wild camping in heavy rain! You just need the right camping gear and a positive mindset. I used my new Naturehike Opalus 2 tent to go camping in heavy rain. This is a 2 person tunnel tent with large porch making it ideal for camping in the rain. There is lots of space inside to keep you out of the wind and rain which makes the wild camp more enjoyable.

When wild camping in the rain you must stay dry at all times. Get yourself some waterproof hiking gear that is Gore-Tex or similar. Packing your backpack the correct way is really important. I recommend using a waterproof liner and / or drybags. A waterproof backpack cover is a good idea too. Make sure your tent and waterproofs are easily accessible.

Earplugs are essential and take something to keep you busy when wild camping in the rain because you'll be spending a lot of your time in your tent. Try to buy a tent that is a reasonable size, it must be a size that makes you comfortable e.g so you can sit up in your tent.

I've had to edit out a lot of the rain noise as some parts were unwatchable, the rain really was that bad!

This is some of the backpacking gear I used.
