Hi Strands fans. A one-word theme always makes rounds of Strands a little tricky to get started, and "Outsiders" was no exception.
That meant I ended up using a clue, and was instantly kicking myself. It revealed TENT - of course this was going to be about camping!
I found BACKPACK to its right (after incorrectly connecting "backpacking" first), and then the spangram of CAMPINGGEAR, which rather neatly made the shape of a tent in the middle of the board.
As someone who really dislikes camping, and has only ever agreed to it for music festivals, it was a bit of an uphill struggle for me, but I got through it without using any more clues. I found GRILL first, followered by LANTERN in the bottom-right corner.
I then spotted COOLER in the bottom-left corner, and that just left THERMOS in the middle of the board to complete the puzzle.
