Rushy and I would rather be called that than "shitty old cheeks" like you may wish upon your old man :P

So is that stuff not called old mans beard?

Yeh it is Toby. From now on I will call it Toby's Toilet Tangle

Call it what ever you like the stuff works!

For me,the most important piece of gear would have to be a pregnant test kit. The first two days out on the hill I'm totally rooted and believe me by the third day I get a little worried of my condition.On the fourth day I take the test,if clear I carry on,if not I pack it in.One must look after themselves and more so if one is prone to getting totally rooted while out in the scrub.

In this instance I think you'd be the cheeky one Toby.

My Macpac Puffer jacket - squashes down to nothing in your pack & the first thing that goes on when I return to the tent after a day out - warms you up real quick - then when retiring to the tent for the night I jam it into the sleeping bag cover & its now me Pillow

- A plastic clothes peg, to close over the bag of the back country meal whiles its Stewing/brewing
- An empty Milk bottle to collect water for camp
- Light stuff = Good :thumbsup:

Also I take a 400mmx400mm microfibre cloth for a towel. There isn't a lot of me and it will dry me off after a bath/swim/shower/dunk.

Thats really interesting. I only ever take in a spoon. It does everything for me. If I need a knife, I use my hunting one. Just a spoon can pretty much do everything though. Mines a light titanium one. I don't carry anything I don't need.

Back country meals have a ziplock so you don't need a clothes peg ;)

As the years start to stack up and the body is pretty stuffed I'm starting to do the same.
