Take on the Treacherous Trail...
The 'Supertramp' who found Inner Peace
Craig Whittenbury, also known as ‘Supertramp,’ finds solace in wild camping with his three sons as an escape from city life. Inspired by the nomadic lifestyle depicted in ‘Into the Wild,’ Craig, a former outdoor fencer from Oxford, has traveled extensively for work and lived without a fixed home. With a history of homelessness and a preference for the freedom of outdoor exploration, wild camping has become Craig’s preferred method of relaxation and bonding with his children.
Despite facing challenges like homelessness and mental health struggles, Craig emphasizes the mental health benefits of nature and encourages others to try wild camping responsibly. However, he acknowledges the potential dangers and advises thorough research and caution, especially for first-timers. Through his TikTok platform, Craig shares his foraging and survival tips, aiming to inspire others to embrace nature while staying safe.
