Hi all! So I've spent around £110 on a huge kit that I have and I'm looking to spend more before I go out into the country. So far I need these things so can you recommend any?
- 1 man tent, needs to be comfortable for me and I am around 6 foot 3 in height, as similar as possible to this one please: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7D7K7h41aA
- A knife, I have one already but need a spare. Something small, sharp, rugged and easy to sharpen.
- Sleeping bag and bed roll for my tent
- A medical kit to cure or at least alleviate anything mother nature can throw at me
Here's my current kit with links:
