nipper said:I have just emptied my response pak and this is what I found. I have to say that mine is more geared more towards tracking rather than bushcraft.
Opticron Gallery monocular
Hand Gel
Fenix LD2 torch
Petzl e-lite
Bandana (loads of uses!)
Multi tool
Compass
Notebook and pen
Trail Tape
Castration rings
Lighter & matches
Mini light
Opinel knife
Whistle
Mobile phone
Paracord
Tweezers
Red Bull Stove
Foil Tray (folded flat, very useful)
Loaded strop
On the belt itself I have the following:
GPS in a Maxpedition Radio Pouch
Comms in a Maxpedition Radio Pouch
Carabiner
FAK
I usually take some food (Super Noodles and Rice etc) hence the foil container. Its much easier to carry that a mess tin.
My bag seems a little lightweight compared to you guys. I must try harder
Hope the pictures come out.

Castration ring shop of course
Any farm suppliers will have them. I think you can get a box of 500 for a couple of quid!

spamel said:I read about the tracking stick in the bob carrs book, he uses o rings but I suppose anything that is stretchy and will grip the stick but can be rolled along for adjustment will work. Good idea!
Could be worth trying the shops you have to go through before you are allowed to leave a museum , that is where I got my "planisphere"(star chart) from.Joff said:Wayland
Where did you get the star and sun charts?

Jedadiah said:By the way Wayland, i'm so impressed with your crook knife carry case. Correct me if i'm wrong but is it a plastic case for drill bits or industrial tap's? I've just popped into my garage and found one and guess what, instant crook knife case!
Top tip mate, well in!
