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

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

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

Shit I seen your ribbons round here

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