Ideal Kit

[Zodiak]

Reading the "Hoarders Corner" kit lists made me think if I had to pick just one load of kit for using in the UK what would it actually be and how much would I expect to pay for it?

you'll need to be more specific than that!

are we talking:

neolithic (nothing )

bushcraft (as basic as you can, takes experience!)

armchair bushcraft (you know the type, all the gear and no idea!

bushcraft/camping (camping but doing bushcraft on the side)

lightweight camping?

Ultralight camping?

Air...?

i fit into most of these categories at different times!
so what do you want people to list a good start would be favourite top ten items!
