What luxuries do you take bushcrafting?

[bradleybuckman]

My iPod. I usually only use it at night when I crawl into my sleeping bag and like to listen to it to relax as I fall asleep.

 

[Robbi]

Folding stools........

YUK !.....doesn't it make your hands smelly ?

 

[spandit]

Go to your room

 

[Mesquite]

A pillow
Fresh coffee filter
and a few other bits 'n' bobs

I agree with John Fenna's line but most people would say these are luxuries (and there are lots more I just can't remember them all)

• a memory foam mattress to go on my camp bed on top of the exped 7 mattress
• a big red bottle to pee in at night without having to get out of bed ( I still have to unzip the sleeping bag though so still working on that one)
• a chair
• rucksack tripod (ready made)
• extending wilko clothes poles
• charcoal
• car within 200 yards or so, when unloading
• biscuits/cakes (for when cooking is taking an age - or not as the case may be)

I think that is enough for you to understand that I am not rough and tough but a big softie

3 of the last 5 comments nearly made me spit out my wine!

I haverecently bough a nice fleece pillow case made by Kepis - I look forward to trying it. Also my new Icebreaker fleece - its a bit luxury TBH!

a giant aluminium casket full of bacon, sausages, fresh milk, and pipe tobbaco.

and i force people i,ve never met before to carry it for me.

oh,..i take my poetry kit with me too,...

 

[sxmolloy]

Not really a luxury but I always seem to take too many sharp and pointy things.

For example I would take my belt knife, folding saw and SAK. That's always enough, but then I tend to pack a huge knife, axe, another SAK and a small multi tool. Usually 2 hand torches and a head light too! Plus way too many spare batteries. Of course theres the booze. 3 bottles of Badgers Tangle Foot is plenty, but 5 are often taken, just in case

The claymor is an ice breaker.
