EDITORS COMMENTS
Millican Dalton, the legendary outdoorsman and pioneer of minimalist camping, gazes out at the tranquil expanse of Derwentwater from High Lodore in Borrowdale, Cumbria, England. The year is 1915, and Dalton, known for his unconventional lifestyle, has made his home in a large split-level cave in this picturesque valley. A renowned mountain guide and camping trip organizer, Dalton was a trailblazer in the field of lightweight camping equipment. He eschewed the luxuries of modern tents and instead opted for sleeping under outcrops, in caves, forest huts, and bivvies. His innovative approach to camping was a stark contrast to the extravagant camping trips of the time, and he became an inspiration for those seeking a simpler, more sustainable way of living in the great outdoors. Millican Dalton was an alternative lifestyler par excellence. He was a vegetarian, pacifist, and teetotaller, and his eccentricities only added to his allure. His ascetic lifestyle was a far cry from the consumer culture that was beginning to take hold in the early 20th century. As Dalton looks out at the breathtaking panorama before him, one can't help but be transported back in time to an era when the simple pleasures of nature were enough to sustain and inspire. The fresh air, the rugged terrain, and the serene waters of Derwentwater all come together to create a scene that is as timeless as the man himself.
