Boone Alternative Gear

[Van-Wild]

Thinking of doing a Daniel Boone style night in the garden. Has anyone got the kit list as per the 'rules'? I have tried the search function and I've seen a few Boone trip reports but I've not seen a 'rules' kit list? Clearly, I won't have much if any gear that matches genuinely authentic gear but if I can kinda replicate it with gear I already have, I think it will be a fun thing to do! (And if it all goes horribly wrong, I'm only 100ft from the back door!)

Daniel Boone challenge

lots of us will have read of American scouts relying on little equipment to discover the America we know now. these men have always been an inspiration to me and I thought that a challenge would be a good homage to them. my challenge is this. with the following generic kit list spend two...

I think you could do worse than re-read Deer Slayer and Last of the Mohicans and take descriptions of gear and kit from there. I wasn't aware there were any actual 'rules' to the ventures.

Ah, there you go, I was wrong

This was my kit and carry for a 2 night Boone challenge back in 2017. I would have liked an oil cloth or canvas tarp, but made do with a DD 3x3.
