Kit that's allowed to be carried on the outside of a rucksack...

I'm often spotted breaking the rules, usually when I'm wearing gaiters

Sapper can i pinch that?
as for me i only have a bit of strapping and tie everything to that so i avoid the rucksack in out debate

Really don't understand this thread. In my view anything that won't go inside or you might want to get at easily and won't get damaged or lost is OK strapped outside it. Carrying a bow saw, assembled, on the outside of a pack is asking for damage to things like tarps, tents and waterproofs. I don't often carry an ice axe nor an avalanche probe in England.

My Jerven bag has a neat little cap which goes over the end when it's rolled up to keep the water out. If I strap it on my pack it takes less than a minute to get my bed ready for the night.

How about a Dutch oven?

LOL. Are you really going to carry a DO if backpacking in?

Reading the first couple of posts I feel a bit like I am in the outcast group.... I carry my water filter in the outside side pocket - it is one of those water filter bottles - for quick access to my drinking water....

I never liked the idea of my canteen being anywhere near my pack; neither in it nor on it. Always a separate carry either on my belt or a shoulder strap (a strap of its own) or hung from the saddle horn.

reminds me of a time hiking to a bothy up in the highlands in a torrential downpour. trying to stop the tennents tins falling out the cheapo plastic bag i was carrying when the metal pan loosely tied to my pack swung round and bust my eyebrow open. 2 frenchies turned round to find me screaming freedom into the rain and wind covered in blood whilst picking up fallen tinnies

i now have two french slaves to carry my things....

Now this is quite an important point - what colour is the lizard, and are you sure it's a lizard and not a gecko?

In Mexico a gacko would be considered a one course meal.

A trail snack....

This is my set up - The boar is usually wearing the rucksack with all the bits dangling off the outside so he ends up looking the knobber - not me. See what I did there?

is its cheating if i strap my kit to the outside of my pack and then cover it all with a waterproof pack cover?

No - it's the piece of boar I bit off - you can see it just behind my head - trail food.

... you appear to be missing the regulation "pink" (April - July) Teddy Bear?

Pink only if you're supporting cancer awareness.
