    1. Headtorch
    2. Camera (more often than not)
    3. iPod Touch (Used as watch/alarm, reference to bird/tree apps & for taking a quick photo of plant or tree I'm not sure of)

    * If it's a more of a social affair, occasionally I might take some small battery powered speakers to hookup to my iPod for some Tom Dale tunes

    likewise, i also have a wind up radio.

    A phone, torch and occasionally a camera. I do have a Degen radio which is solar or battery operated (or wind up too) but rarely use it.

    Its one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crank-Solar-...ds=degen+radio

    Headtorch, phone and really can't think of anything else. My phone doubles as my camera but I am looking for a decent compact at the moment.

    I have on me...
    A mobile phone - but I don't have it for bushcrafting/camping, so don't know if that counts.
    A torch - of some description, but only if I'm going to be out when it's dark. Although now I think of it I can't think of the last time I actually used it, even when out in the dark. still, I suppose it's better to have with you than not, just in case.
    A camera - but not always. Most of the time though.

    So I can go out 'bushcrafting' with no battery devices to help me with my bushcrafting. Or I may have 1, 2 or 3 with me...
