Kit List
This is a typical weekend camp kit list. Note that this is a fairly complete list – it is up to YOU to decide what you need for a particular event. You wouldn’t take a chair on a lightweight hike now would you???
VERY IMPORTANT
- Uniform - turn up and leave in it, or get sent home :~)
- Any medication / medical supplies
SLEEPING / COMFORT
- Tent
- Sleeping bag - 3/4 season
- Roll mat / air bed - not too big or you’ll annoy your mates!
- Warm blanket
- Chair
- Teddy
EATING / DRINKING
- Cup
- Water bottle
- Plate / bowl or mess tins
- Knife / fork / spoon
CLOTHING
- T-shirts - more lightweight layers is better than one big jumper
- Shorts - legs are waterproof, dry out faster and are easier to clean than jeans :~)
- Waterproof coat (and trousers if poss)
- Long trousers
- Jumper / hoody (cardigan if that’s your thing)
- Hat / gloves - even in Summer
- Trainers for sports
- Sturdy boots - don’t even think of picking an axe up without them
- Spare socks (lots of) - wet feet = biggest cause of homesickness!
- Spare underwear
- Swimming kit
OTHER BITS
- Penknife - no more than 3 inch blade. no flickknives.
- Torch - headtorch best option. don’t forget batteries.
- Money - then you can buy fizzy pop and crap toys from the shop
- Wash kit - you neven know
NOTE – any phones / mp3 players / ebooks / pocket TVs / DSs / or other such nonsense: We DO NOT recommend that you bring any of this. There will always be plenty to do, and access to a phone. If it gets lost / broken / nicked / sold on eBay it is YOUR problem, not ours. In short, leave them at home.
