Top three items in your kit

[Chris G]

Quite simple; what in your opinion are the best three things in your kit? Not the sharpest, shineyest, newest, etc, but the ones you rate the most highly?

For me it's;

1) Berghaus mountain cap,
2) Sprayway Windbloc fleece,
3) Merrell Polartec/Gortex lined boots.

3)Something to treat water, probably a milbank bag and a billy in terms of versibility.

Quite simple; what in your opinion are the best three things in your kit?

While they may not be my favorite pieces of kit or the flashy-ist, these 3 have stood the test of time. I have had them all since my early 20's, never needed to replace them, never thought of upgrading them, taken them on all my trips both domestic and abroard and never let me down..... ooo and they make a cracking cup of tea

1. 58 pattern water bottle
2. Crusader mug
3. Trangia meths burner
