well im teaching this weekend so need quite a bit of stuff, however i will set a new challange for the better weather......

the list:-

1. Jacket
2. water bottle and water
3. knife
4. axe
5. food
6. fire steel or bow drill kit
7. cooking pot
8. sharpening stone / because its always in my pocket...:)

the idea is natural shelter and cordage, fire by friction etc etc....

what do you think gents???????

sounds good mate but jacket is free, and food and water count as 1 item so by my count your list is down to 6! which is very impressive i'll be interested to see the photo's of this one!!

If you're taking food, you might as well have a tin of something and utilise that as a cookpot. That cuts another thing off the list.

Off out later today, as soon as my boy gets home from school. Back Sunday afternoon. Will try and get pics on here as soon as I can. Been raining all morning so in for a soggy start. Received THIS yesterday so can't wait to put it to work. May have a few last minute changes to my packing list, but will confirm when I post pics. Taking full allotment of 15 items, plus the freebies. Forecast -2 saturday night, not extreme I know but like to be comfortable.

I know phone is for emergency but couldn't resist sending update. Wonders of technology! Walked couple of miles, in the rain, set up in the rain, and got fire going in the rain! Got tarp up and organised and it Stopped. Had jackets, cheese and hot dogs for supper. My boy is tucked up asleep already, I'm watching the fire with the occasional slug of JD. Marvelous. Moon is enormous and bright. Apparently gets closest tomorrow. Starting to get chilly, looking forward to getting into army issue arctic bag! Cosey. Cheers.

I am a great fan of testing myself. I was homeless for a long time with only the clothes i had for 3 months in winter. I occasionally go away for a few weeks with the same stuff i had while homeless.
i'm going on a two week trek on monday with;

1. Laplander folding saw
2. Mora clipper
3. DD poncho
4. Ferro rod
5. Water bottle
6. Canteen cup
7. Wool blanket
8. Food
9. Bible
Have my phone so will try to take pics. Also have tobacco and lighter, which is free? Will only use lighter if can't get fire going but will say if i use it for fire. Can my bible be free? I'll throw any other piece of kit to fit it in.
