Hi Guys
I'm going to be going camping for a week at the end of the month, this will be the longest i have been out bushcrafting so far and it got me thinking.
What sort of things do you need to take into account for longer outings, now this week at the end of September shouldn't prove difficult as i have running water and will be a basic base camp setup. But what about longer periods of time, what kind of things need to be take into account when thinking in terms of say 2-3 weeks in the bush.
I would be interested in what people think would be essentials, luxuries etc. I don't want to have to hire a minibus to bring all the kit so lets say we have a longback bergen with sidepouches. What would you take and why?
you can either provide a full loadout and explain why you would use each item, or you can just suggest single items of kit for the group to discuss.
The site has running water and toilet facilities but that's it.
And please keep it civil, no flaming people for not taking the perfect bit of kit this is for fun (and also for me to put together my xmas list, for extended camps)
So what you got?
Dave
