Hoping to get out this week and i always worry last minute about forgetting stuff.
This is my kit for a night out this week- hopefully with a friend but if he doesn't come i'm off out on my own!:)
Would like to take a bivvy bag but i've had no luck getting one.
This all fits into a 35 liter rucksack
British army basha with paracord and pegs
Sleeping bag
3 season multi mat

Tinder pouch with cotton balls and firesteel and back up lighter

Either 2 liter platypus, nato water bottle with crusader mug or nalgene with tatonka mug
Zebra billy can- 12 cm
mill bank bag, folding mug, scourer, whisk and brew in billy can
titanium spork
Food- Boil in the bag rice and curry, bacon and bread
may take a mess tin for a plate- undecided

whistle lives on my crabiner
no map/compass because i know the area very well
hopefully my petzl headlamp if it comes in time otherwise a cheap headlamp with spare batteries
maybe a wind up led lantern- wind for 1 min light for 30 mins.

Knife
folding saw
maybe a hatchet

first aid kit
insect repellent
maybe my army poncho to test it out and a small living area if wet :)

Anything to add/remove? any advice welcome as i always worry before i leave!
thank you :)

Bog roll. I had chronic diahorrea last time i went out for a night in the woods. It was no fun after the seventh time using hazel leaves.
