Whitebox stove (the best brew kit burner ever).

Alpkit gourdon drybag rucksack - light and 100% dry inside.

Rab Vapour Rise Jacket - the bees knees of soft shells.

Buffs

Baseball cap - good for spec wearers in the rain and good in the sun.

Opinel no 7 (I think could be 8). - simply the best folding, locking knife with such a simple locking mech. Light too.

Outdoor designs inferno mitt - I get cold hand since I broke one climbing so I need these winter warmers when it drops below zero.

Anti gravity gear 3 cup pot - lighter than the same size Ti pot mug and wide so is perfect for the whitebox stove. COmes with a pot cosy for efficient cooking and use of gas or meths.

Rab SZ bivvy - bought cheap and works well

Single skin tent or my kathmandu basha from bison woodcraft I think.

Primus express stove - light, efficient burner.

I have many other stuff that would also fit into my top 10 list but I guess the whole idea behind a top 10 list means you have to stop at 10. I did try honestly.

* Occassionally a telescopic fishing rod or air rifle (I have permission on the local estate).

That's about it really. It doesn't look tactical/survivalist nor does it make me look like a yuppy weekender.

Unfortunately I was questioned late last year by the old Bill as they thought I was a "Traveller". And here was me thinking I looked like a Council workman - had I been asleep in a van this may have looked more convincing.

Hey Liam.

which estate do you catch wabbits on? If you get a spare one I wouldn't mind throwing a rabbit pie together (to share of course).

The traveller bit makes more sense now that I've met you. Shame on the old bill/ feds for bothering you for that though.

2. Fallkniven F1
3. LMF Firesteel
4. Sliky Pocket Boy saw
5. very thin but very warm cashmere jumper - cosy winter sleeps!

Dom.

As I've only been doing this a few months my kit is less than 'trick' but here's what I've acquired that I particularly like:

1. Bag of cotton wool balls I've sprayed with WD40 used to start the fire. Keep them in the Super Drug bag they originally came in.
2. My lovely new Mora Clipper high carbon knife (hate the plastic guard though).
3. Stainless steel knife, fork and spoon on a cheap carabiner. Just like it. Feels nice to the touch.
4. Basic Karrimor brown walking boots. Put dubbin on and tested in a bucket of water. No leaks. Only £30 from Sport Direct.
5. Thermarest Neo Air X-Large mattress. Extravagant price £110, but very light and comfortable.

That's it, I think. Have a ways to go yet: axe, bivvy, three season bag; hammock; rucksack etc etc...
