Bin Bags
There are many different instances where bin bags are going to come in handy. They will ensure you don’t spoil the countryside with your rubbish. Bin bags are also very practical. You can use them when you don’t have a raincoat. If you don’t have wellies, you can use them in covering your footwear. You can also use them to cover a leak in your tent if there is any.

Take with you’re a couple of emergency blankets then pack them at the bottom of the bag. You should also have a gaffer tape that you are going to use in sticking the blankets to the tent. This is going to reflect the sun, and this will make things a little cooler inside the tent.
