WRT Newbie Kit list?

Post by Maxray »

Ok then, so I am compiling kit for the WRT as uitll more than likely be our first bivvy aswell as first WRT :)

So I have a tarp (which also acts like a poncho if needed) Sleeping bag (3 season) and decided to get a garmin geko 301 to go with the maps and real compass as there was one really cheap on the bay.

Other than a bivvy bag what essentials should I take into consideration?


Cheers!

evening wear; a tux would do but an insulated top & a wooly hat are more my style.

mozi spray.
suntan lotion - well not last year - but i was ruined the one before.
