What if the tarp already had the cord attached? No different than a tent with lines. Will the tarp be warm enough with no sleeping bag, tents do seem to be a little warmer being enclosed. Or is that just my impression?

Watching the 10 item Dartmoor video from last year, something hit me at 5:50 in, there's a scene:
Got to admire Matt's dancing at 7:30 ... hoping for more of that this year!
You both had walking sticks, which weren't on the list! I know that sounds trivial but they can be very multi-purpose and weren't made on the trop. Infact I'd even go so far to say the GPS and map should be items on the list. Now I'm not saying don't take a map/compass/GPS to Dartmoor, but like the mobile phones & first aid kits, the navigation equipment could just be there incase of an emergency.
I'm confident we could safely spend 3 days on Dartmoor without modern day nav equipment (well and even if we did need it we'd still have it on us).
Are we really gona man-up boys and truly do 8 items? Or is it HiFi time again?
I'm getting excited!
First things first, I had my walking sticks but you had your camera tripod!! I rest my case m'lud.
Secondly, I could add my hi-fi to the six items I have on my list; I need to do something to make up my six items.

Hmmm, let me see.
I don't use modern nav kit anyway. If you were aiming to camp in woodland then probably wouldn't need a shelter, however cannot guarantee woodland is available. So my list would be:
1) rucksack
2) tarp
3) bivvi bag
4) sleeping bag
5) knife
6) firesteel
7) billycan
8)
Not sure what I'd take for number 8. - Maybe my walking stick to use as a tent pole if caught out on the moor.
It's not too far of of what I'd normally pack to be honest - Throw in my hammock, hatchet and saw and that would be my normal pack - excluding clothes, first aid kit and food/water
