listen some of you lot who are all packed ...... this is going to be a first for me.... ive only just paid for my ticket and no i wont even think about packing until 2 days before.... so go on, do your best please and write me an essentials list and a bring it if ive got it fantasy list? theres probably a list somewher on here, i thought id seen one before but now i dont seem to be able to find it..
First thing - DON'T PANIC! If you do forget an essential, there'll most likely be someone with a spare to loan to you. We're a caring, sharing bunch.
So, you'll need:
Something to sleep in/under (Tarp or tent etc)
Something to keep you warm at night (Sleeping bag or blankets or both)
Something to sleep on (Kip mat or hammock)
That's you accommodation sorted
Clothing:
Stuff for when it's hot
Stuff for when it's cold
Stuff for when it's wet
Next, Food. Stuff you like and will actually eat.
Breakfasts x10
Lunches x 10
Evening meals x 10
Snack food
Brew kit of choice.
If you make the lunch menu easy it will free up time for other things (Pot noodle type of snack comes to mind)
Cooking gear:
Stove of choice
Fuel for stove.
Pots, pans, plates, mug, KFS.
Then there's tools.
Sharp knife of your choice
Folding pocket saw
Firesteel (or matches/lighter)
Axe
Personal first aid kit
Any medication you need
Towel, soap and shaving kit
Cleaning stuff (brillo pads, fairy liquid etc)
Favourite teddy, reading material, MP3 player etc.
Torch/candles.
Money.
That's all I can think of as essentials. Add any luxuries as desired.
See you there.
