Am off out with Friend. Starting on Friday morning, back Sunday. With that in mind my current kit list is as follows.
1) Karrimor SF45
2) 3l camelpak - (were debating to fill this with local ale)
3) Para boots
4) Buffalo sleeping bag
5) British army bivi
6) Buffalo mountain shirt
7) North face WP trousers (Looking at some new Keela ones)
7) Fire steel
8) Folding saw
9) SBT (waited 2 years for this baby)
10) Map, compass and waterproof map case
11) Eating kit (tin cup, spork, can opener)
12) German army mess tin
13) Poncho or my patagonia rain away - very very light
14) Cordage
15) Food - Belly of pork, stagg chillie, coffee, sugar etc
16) Toothbrush
17) Medical kit (enough for cuts etc)
Plan is to do some miles in the mornings, get to somewhere fun, set up camp - brush wood shelters etc, prepare food. Get set off to pub with our kit, return to camp for some gentle fire and a nights sleep outdoors.
Not into the alaskan wild, but the bucks countryside. With a bit of luck will be on our own walking tails and finding the nearest remotest spot to the pub.
Will let you know how we do.
