Sharpening stone,
Firesteel
roll mat
little stove?
:)

mug and spork are nice too :D

Cheers dude i've got a nice bit of slate i found ages ago that puts a razor edge on my blade.

Strikeforce is a firesteel
Got a Drainer in the GIT thread which will be Hobo'd up.

A Mug may be a good idea, Stainless is probably best.
I had a LMF titanium spork but wasn't keen, Got a few spoons i've carved so will use that, might even carve it so that the bowl of the spoon is like a spork which'll make it good for stabbing chunks of meat instead of eating it with a spoon.
Sleeping mat is on list for winter.

Flint and steel
Hammock
Axe?

Made a hammock from paracord yesterday.

Might consider an axe, Got given a kayak but want to carve a paddle so it could come in handy, I tried making an axe from a piece of flint i got from a friend, a piece of yew i carved and some cattle sinew i got from my grandad( he's a slaughterman) but it wasn't easy to split rounds then the head broke. I think it was because inside of it was a different rock.

An axe is a great piece of kit, just had a weekender and my SFA was a gem tho she did bite me. You might get on better with picking up an old head at a car boot sale, or from here.

Well done for giving a flint axe a go, beyond my skills at present.
