I know, how sad am I. Am I really a torch geek?! :(

See, I didn't even mention the Fenix TA20 torch I use as a back up :whistle:

Next most important thing is tea making kit. Everything looks better when you have a wet on the go B)
Just think of your self as like cavers ;) sounds cooler :laugh:
When I was caving a lot all I took was a few cigarettes and a lighter in a waterproof plastic tub (also used for the cigarette butts) and a Mars bar for dinner. I probably took a space blanket the first two or three times I went then I soon realised that the space above the cradle in my helmet was better filled with luxuries than with things I'd never use.

Nothing wrong with a good torch, I tend to carry a LED Lenser with me, could use it as a headlight if I really needed :laugh:

Being happy to walk long distances covers the rest.
