So would I but GOOD company is hard to find. So I put up with my mates and drink in a nearby pub. Anything up to 4 miles away is neaby in our opinions. Takes about an hour down hill but over three hours back after the 1:30 lockin ends.
My preferance too John.
Although I don't mind music if i'm in company,be it from a machine or those there who can sing and play.
Wait,that's not strictly true,after a few I think i've the voice of an angel...
Aye, a fallen one at that Tam.
I'm like you, I can never hit the high notes but I can always lower the tone...
A packet of cigarettes, a smallish bottle of whiskey and a 12 band portable radio. I have been under the stars for the deaths of Benazir Bhutto and Michael Jackson and even got Radio Slovenia for a short time camped just outside of St Just last November.
I like to take a Gentlemans publication, and get back to nature. it's light weight, good for tinder and trade.
Usually nothing. My time in the outdoors is limited by lifes commitments, so when im out i cant pass up the oppertunity to watch natures TV & listen to the night. If im with someone, I may take some cards but they almost never get used.
Every radio is "man portable" especially if ye have 12 bands to carry the thing...
You obviously "relish" the outdoors Southey... hahahahaaaaa.
Classic!
As kids, we used to find such bushcraft periodicals secreted in the woods. Gave us a head start in the Biology class for sure...
Poll: what do you take to occupy yourself in the dark?
I don't see wife girlfriend or mistress on the list..... besides who is going to carry all my gear!

I've always pondered after perusing,why they'd been left in the woods.
My own were always kept under the wardrobe (for anatomical purposes too) in tip top order.
Generally nowt much. A drop of something warming - alone or among friends. I love the sights & sounds of the night.
I like to step out of the loop of human communication/interaction & just be for a while.
