Something to keep you dry, tarp or tent
sleeping bag
food/cutlery
something to cook on/in
Sense of humour, lol
Torch - this is a must, RC is like the black hole of Calcutta when the sun sets.
Basically normal camping gear mate, unless you use hammocks etc.
To add to the list given -
Wallet or trade goods/swaps to have fun trying to get more than just a bargain from my trades bag!
Andy pretty much covered the basics on kit.
Make sure that you read post #01 as it gives you a bit of an insight into Meets in general - a few are set up in the same sort of manner.
Something to sleep in, on and under:
You'll need bedding - sleeping bag, blanket(s), duvet etc.
You'll get a better nights kip if you have an insulating layer beneath you - the market is awash with sleeping mats.
Shelter - tent or tarp (some use a hammock).
Tarp tip1: If you're under a tarp you might like to consider using a ground sheet under your kit.
Tarp tip2: If you use a ground sheet under a tarp, make sure that it covers a smaller area than the tarp does.
Tarp tip3: Note which way the wind blows - and make sure that the wind can't blow rain into your kit.
Something to cook in and on:
Pots and pans suitable for cooking over what ever you're using as a heat source. We can have open fires - but they must be raised and contained. We have neighbours on both sides at this Meet and because of this I have previously suggested (to others) that it might be wise to bring a fuel supply just in case.
Matches/lighter etc
Something to eat:
Bring what you like to eat, that you know that you can cook with (and on) the items above.
Cutlery - full set or spork* (* if you'd like to wind Mr Fenna up
)Something to drink:
Tea, coffee etc.
The site isn't a dry one - but we ask that people keep it sensible.
There is no requirement to supply others. It would be wise to bring a suitable drinking vessel
Something to wear:
Wear what you like (providing that you observe the social niceties
- it's a scout site).Spare clothes - it's a weekend, so you don't need a huge amount. But it's easy to get miserable if you get cold and/or wet.
Waterproofs are a good idea.
Boots are a sensible choice.
Insect repellent (at this time of year
)Personal first aid kit.
Oh, and making sure that you're carring a good torch before it gets dark is a really good tip :yikes:
let's see if I can make this one
Be good if you can, been ages since you were last down at RC.
Let me know what kit you want me to bring
The swap/trade/sell 'stuff' isn't mandatory
Unless he's got you cornered !!!!!! :yikes:
Very true - I also accept cash!
As do I
ok ok no spork
Use what you're happy to use. Personally, I'm quite happy using my Ti spork (if nothing else, it gets John going
).

:yikes:
Have any plans for communal cooking been done yet? My apple tree in the garden is crammed full right now, be good to make a crumble or something with some blackberries?
