My 'other arms' bergen. It's light actually waterproof, cheap and comfortable for hiking with all my increasing number of 'essentials' for wild camping.

and my GB small forest axe, F1 knife, swedish trangia.....well, everything in my pack actually :D
 
Without a doubt my Swiss Army volcano stove. Used it in anger for the first time this weekend on a 3 day climbing expedition, warmed my rat packs up nicely and is very efficient with fuel due to the design. Anyone got any recommendations on fuel? Tried Greenheat and these work well but Hexi tabs seem to work better but smell real bad! Any help appreciated :)

Has to be my honey stove - no doubt about that - always makes me very happy when I set it up, and I've never looked at "air-dried" twigs caught in the branches of trees in the same way since getting one in the group buy!!!

Whatever stove I pick from my collection to take on the trip in hand. This week that would be a 1933 Primus 221, full working order, so much more 'soul' than a Honey stove;)
 
For some reason it took me awhile to think of this, but when I did I wondered why it took me so long to think of...
My Duluth Trading Company Bamboo Knife. I never go into the woods without it. It chops wood all day and then has an edge to slice food in the evening, and I've never had to sharpen it since the day I took it out of the box!

Oh, and my Mora Craftsman and whatever SAK I'm carrying that day.

why don't you tri trioxane (geddit?....lol)

seriously, these are like rocket fuel and work like a dream in my Swiss Army Volcano

you just need to make sure that you break them up first so that they fit in the stove properly
