Man of tanith and Dave Bromleys fifteen or less challenge (/hopefully pic heavy)

[Biker]

Now this sounds like fun!

I suppose my last time out in the wilderness was a taster of things to come, and I have gorgeous hammock from the gift it on thread, so yeah count me in on this foolhardy trek to the south pole adventure type thingy too.

Can I suggest between you both you compile a list of things that aren't counted in the 15 items?

Rucksack, sleeping bag, hobostove, knife, sunlounger, masseuse... y'know those basic essentials

So clothes count as the items eh? Should socks count as two or one?

following decorums post i have to agree on further thought it is very specific on what is taken in the two fifteen items as decourm mentions it could give an unfair advantage.
and as he mentioned if you need a fire box it is a freebie any other bits still count
this is getting interesting
tank two one nighters is fine with me i will probably have to do it this way too

 

[ex-member Raikey]

i fancy this,

i was planning a similar comp based around a 2 nighter with a response pack,...so maybe i,ll put 15 items in a response pak and join in ,...haha

yep!!

put me down Sam,....

Cheers

This'll be my first time sleeping under just a tarp so I'm excited. It's actually snowing just now so I might borrow my bud's dossbag tho hah. Only got 7 items on my list, too, this is going to be interesting!

 

[Man of Tanith]

only seven?
do tell
i'm still debating what to take for mine

 

[Shewie]

Count me in lads, should be able to include the canoe/paddle/pdf plus 12 others at a stretch I reckon, saying that I think I had 115 items for the trip this week

Just to clarify, all food and water for two days count as one item, and that includes the bladders/containers ?

Decourm really two packs? wow

After a very quick and shallow delve it was fairly obvious that the packs (and their owners - details in lid pockets) required some 'discretion' .

 

[Highbinder]

only seven?
do tell
i'm still debating what to take for mine

Just the usual suspects.

1- DD 3x3m tarp (tho' if the weather is clement, which from looking outside I have doubts about, I'll take my new shiny poncho tarp out)
2- Sleeping bag (either my buddy's arctic one or mine)
3- Roll mat
4- Ti mug
5- Knife (Liten Bror)
6- Firesteel (mischmetal, I've had better luck than the lightmyfire ones)
7- Torch. Still debating about this one. I think if I get there early enough I'll leave it in the car. If it's raining I may replace it with a pack of candles as they'll make getting a fire going easier as well as providing light.

Will dress just the same as I did today when I went to do my messages. Might make a grill depending what food I have, and I'll definately make a set of chopsticks as I've not included a spork (and I can't carve a spoon to save myself).

Can only do one night this week tho', but the two month limit gives me plenty of time to prep for a proper two nighter

[lab72]

[Man of Tanith]

it gonna be in food pack? then still counts as one item i reckon

 

[lab72]

[Man of Tanith]

upto you mate
could use the hound as an extra method of keeping warm in old school trapper kind of way

 

[Biker]

Couldn't the dog count as emergency rations? Therefore qualifies for the free list.

Yes, I'm a geni-ar$e.
