.. you will love it, brings a whole new dimension....
If i didn't have a mors pot which is a modernised version I'd buy a mucket in a flash.
However the mors pot is more versatile I reckon.
No boonie excursions for a while. Mrs has broken her wrist.....
Might manage a few boonie wanders but no camping for a while

Oh no , thats not good.... you'll have to make up for it when its better
In time for some brass monkey boonie action.
And I can play with rig ups.
Got a spoon carving day friday which I'll still be going on but thats about it for the foreseeable future
Good stuff Adam, we can set up our own bit of the 'frontier'
Indeed, really looking forward to it
An update..
I have been buying some bits and pieces for a new traditional/vintage kit. Just like my other kits its likely to change a lot but here is what I have so far...
Vintage Swedish M39 40ltr pack
Czech Army Bedroll
UCO Brass Candle Lantern
Hudson Bay Tinder box + Flint, Steel, charcloth, rope, armadou, etc.
Cold Steel Trail Hawk
Tatonka 1.6 Kettle, although may swap this for a Mors pot or other type.
Not decided on knives yet, May take usual mora and bushlore but been thinking of getting new knife.
Should be doing the challenge next month or hopefully this one

Looking good matelook forward to seeing your list grow change, then seeing your challenge
I cant wait to get out and do it. I'm really looking forward to the experience of this challenge to see how I fair as I'm a bit of a kit junkie and been spending a fortune on gear since last year, especially trying to put a lightweight kit together. I also like taking loads of little bits and bobs so to go from all this in opposite direction and put a basic traditional kit together is a big change for me.
I cant really see me doing traditional kit outings regularly (especially in Winter or when hiking) but I can definatley see a place for it in my hobby

Have you thought about something to sleep under.
Look forward to the write up of your trip.
Dont get caught up in the kit getting out and doing it is the important bit

I didn't realise but I sort of do this already except I would generally use a sleeping bag intead of the blanket and taxe an axe and a saw but I will try to make adjustments to do it by the book as a proper Boone challenge!
You would be surprised how many say that... and how many can do the Challenge with the kit they already have
But Being Boonie does make you think a bit..
More the merrier mate.saw seems more practical
Nowt wrong with using ya brainYou would be surprised how many say that... and how many can do the Challenge with the kit they already have

Ah forgot to add it to the list. I have a 3x3 brown DD but looking for something like a more tradition tarp.
Look forward to the write up of your trip.
