So based on my decide my kit thread and daves fifteen or less thread we have come up with a comp for those of you who fancy a challenge
A prize of a hand made tinder pouch by me and possibly some more bits to sweeten the deal is available for the winner
Basically take fifteen or less items out for two nights and the best entry wins! simple eh
However we have been discussing this and have come up with some rules/saftey ideas and so on as to how we will choose the winner
1) First Aid Kit and mobile phone are free bleeding out or being desperately in need of rescue isnt good and to do so for bragging rights and a prize is silly.
2) As for clothing imagine what you would wear on a cold day going on a 1-2 hour walk so hat gloves good base mid and waterproof layers pants and boots/socks anything over and above is included in the 15
3) The best 5 entrants will be picked by Myself and Dave and then put up in a poll, the winner will get the prize.
4) Entrants would be picked on the basis of most done with least kit, ingenuity and sense of adventure.
5) The time limit will be 2 months to allow everyone time to get out and give it a go
6) Once the entrants have been picked the vote will go on for a week
7) Proof WE need a picture of all kit laid out and a write up of the load out. extra pictures of items in use will earn extra points camera is also a free item based on this rule
8) If you carry the kit for a walk first that gains extra points
9) Entrants need to stay out for 2 nights at least longer trips with minimal kit could gain extra points
10) Anyone using natural shelters and generally sourcing materials i.e cordage etc would get more points
11) If you're a smoker you are allowed smokes and so on for free if you use lighter for stove firelighting it becomes one of the fifteen
12) Food and water are one item
13)multiple entries are permitted
14) Have Fun!
please post interest in this thread and also your trip photo's and write ups in here too
this will make it easier for myself and dave to find it all when it is decision time.
hopefully you will all embrace this as the bit of a laugh it is intended to be
looking forward to seeing submissions
