Kit Compass
I'm planning a winter wilderness camping trip this year and i was wondering if you could give me some idea's?
These are the items i'm bringing with me so far, maybe you could give me some more idea's.
1. Magnesium fire starter(water proof)
2. 30 by 30 foot tarp with 100 feet of hemp rope
3. Multi-tool with built in knife
4. 4 days worth of food(14 day trip)
5. First-aid kit
6. Thermal blacket and sleeping bag
7. Hunting knife
8. 100 feet of fishing line and 10 hooks
9. Map and compass
10. Camping gear like cup, spoon, knife, fork and so on.
Why are you bringing both a hunting knife and a multi-tool with a built in knife? This seems redundant. And consider changing our your hemp rope (will absorb water) w/ a nylon rope.
Some other things:
- hat and gloves
- layered clothing (long underwear, fleece pants and top, fleece jacket, windproof jacket - no cotton)
- backpacking stove with fuel (white gas/Coleman fuel type stoves may work better in the cold than the canister types)
- for eating utensils try only bring a large thermal mug and a spoon - the cup can act as a bowl and a cup and the spoon is a very versatile utensil and take the place of a knife to cut soft stuff and spread stuff like a knife - the fork is just redundant.
- skis or snowshoes
- a sled to put your stuff in and haul (I have used a modified "kiddie" sled in the past
