Real wilderness camping tips

[satans worm]

HI

I am about to jump in with both feet the world of camping!
Having only done an overnighter car camping before I have signed up for a weeks camping in the Yukon wilderness for 7 days.
Now this is actually primarily a photographic focus, but where we are going there are no roads, no trails, in fact its highly unlikely that anyone has been there before.
So, anyone out there can give me some tips on stuff that is fairly light but can make your trip more comfortable would be welcome!
plus any clothing tips/ brands that give good bang for the buck.
Talking of bucks, im actually in NYC so local (English) brands wont help much.
If anyone has experience with REI gear and if it is reasonable quality that would be great.

We have a weight limit as we fly in via float plane, but we do have a guide to sort food out and keep us from being eaten by bears:-)
That said we will be moving base camp at least once so it will need to all fit in a 90 liter back and I will have to carry it all, along with my photography equipment.
I guess tips on small things that make life better plus clothing tips really
A leather an will part of my pack for sure!

Great reply thanks

I have bought most the stuff now, at considerable expense, who said camping is cheap!
Bought good quality clothes (all marino wool) as I know I will appreciate the extra warmth and comfort they should bring and now I think just about everything I have is there.

Just waiting on some ND filters to be delivered by post , cutting fine I fly out on Friday!

The good news is nothing came up in your post that I was obviously missing, so its packing time tonight and see if I fall over on my back like a turtle and cant get up again!
