In this episode of Base Weight we talk with hiker, cyclist, outdoorsman and astrophotographer John Middleton. John's YouTube channel The Camping Astronomer is a relaxed and informative journey into camping under and photographing the stars.

John has adventured all over the world and shares what it means to him to get outdoors and disconnect. Combining his love of astronomy and wild camping, his YouTube is both a peaceful journey into savoring the beauty of where you are and a wealth of information on photographing the heavens.

He aims to show people that you don't have to have expensive gear and live way out in the country to enjoy the gifts that nature has to offer.
