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.BSharp wrote:Just think of your self as like caversDiesel Pete wrote:First thing I pack is a good torch.

Being happy to walk long distances covers the rest.
