This is what i've been given......
rucksack (about 65 litres)
tent or hoochie
warm sleeping bag
sleeping mat
bivi bag*
blanket*
comfortable outdoor clothing
comfortable walking boots
spare shoes
water proof jacket
water proof trousers*
warm hat
gloves and wide brim hat (winter and summer)*
one set of spare clothing
personal medication and first aid
wash kit and spare towel
torch and spare batteries
cup, plate or bowl and cutlery
1 litre water bottle
notepad and pencil*
fold up chair*
items marked * are optional
Most of the stuff i'll get, dont know much about bivi bags, so i'll prob get a cheap mountain tent for this course and go from there. My end goal is to get the skills and knowledge i need, a canadian canoe and set away for weeks here and there through the year, i've canoed since being a child so this will combine it all hopefully, but i wanna make sure i've got all the basics first (knowledge more so) then for my 40th......a few years off yet, i'm going to tap the misses for a full arctic expedition.
