I'm going to add Injinji socks to the list. Look bloody weird, feel a bit weird at first, but you quickly get used to them. Walked near on 30km the other day and no blisters which was a first for me....

This has been brilliant so far. Keeps the dog toasty warm at camp and during the night he doesn't try and get in my bag or sit there shivering which means I get a good night's sleep. On sale cost me...

A wee story re wet wood. A couple of cobbers and I did a very ambitious traverse in Fiordland in the early 80s. I recall our loads averaged 30 kgs with 14 days food, a mountain radio and I think a...

Probably one of the biggest things we've learned is the self discipline of... "if it looks dodgy, go the long way around". This applies even more so toward the end of the day when fatigued. It's...

A normal overnighter will see me carrying my main pack wherever I go and camp when I'm done hunting for the day. This way I have all my gear on me at all times. If I set up a base camp I will just...

Great to see some resilience around the prospect of toughing it out for a night. Further to the below, it’s worth while reinforcing having a light source. Having undertaken a few airborne searches...

Being warm will ensure you see the sun rise next morning. A fire may help, but to be honest, a half dozen army surplus store hexamine tabs is far, far better than any firestarter. My luck, it's...

I carry a small kit of "Oh sh#t" gear at all times. I carry it in a waterproof bag in a small molle pouch on the front of my TwinNeedle bino harness. That way- if I had to ditch my pack for whatever...
