For me it has to be a camping chair.. A "few" years ago now, one of my mates decided to bring one of those bad boys out to our camp, now up until that point we had all been reasonably happy to rest our hump on a stump or on the deck, so during the start of the camp the rest of us extracted the yellow stuff, then as the usual aches started to set in, people began to steal a couple of minutes on the comfy chair whenever my mate was out of the thing. The problem is that after a good feed next to a roaring fire, and with a drop of the red stuff in yer hands, sitting in a camp chair just seems so relaxing, even civilized. Needless to say on the next trip we all had one, and although I wouldnt carry it on a long distance hike, I would never dream of camping locally without it.... (Anyone can be uncomfotable.!!! )
Oh come on Shewie!
If you were going out and had your knife, fire kit and brew kit in your pockets/hands/carrier bag
... what would be the thing you reach for?
Rat
Hmmmm
Probably the best bit of kit I've ever bought is IDWs underblanket, it's made winter nights out so much more comfortable.
Next week it could be my Honey stove and Tatonka burner though
Or my new Alpkit doss bag
Or my Swazi Tahr .....
Okay then I can't narrow it down to just one, I want them all and they're usually packed in my sack
But I guess the most important one is my brew bag, which includes tea, powdered milk, sugar, hot choc, and filter coffee set. After all, if it all goes wrong, sit down and have a brew!Hmm... the Laplander's a good one, and I certainly wouldn't go out without my hammock and underquilt/sleeping bag. Of course, none of us go out with sharps unless we're carrying a FAK, do we?
