Essential Minimum Kit

What a fool, I had not even thought of how to pick up the hot tin. In fact, thinking about it now, I had not even thought of a thick cloth, pliers or anything to hold a hot tin. That could have ruined an otherwise great meal, freshly heated up……

Thanks for that, MGR. I shall hunt down the billy set at wilkinsons.

I stopped off on the way to my local Wilkinsons at a place called Camping International in Gillingham. It is a bad shop – I saw loads of stuff I could have splashed out on. Wow, but do they have loads of gear! If you happen to be in need of kit and in or near to the Medway area, check it out.

Anyway, I now have a set of aluminium cooking pans, complete with lids and mess tins and a plier-like grabber that fits everything, including food tins! It is clever, using the little ridge around the tin to grab hold of. Came in cheaply too at less than a tenner for a lot of kit. Now I shall have to worry over how to wash it all up at camp…..

Bottled water sounds good
Bootled water is a sure fire way to go to be sure of something to drink. I wonder whether a mobile phone has now become a must if I go wandering off with my dog. OK, I shall make sure I tell family where I am going, when and for how long, but surely a phone is a must? And maybe an emergency whistle too? What say all you guys?
