My new car GHB

[Yorkshire Andy]

Well decided i needed to sort my car stuff out since the weather is set to deteriorate....

ive tried to cater for the stranded over night on a snow covered motorway and the ability to walk home from work if needed


anyways....

one Tesco rucksack

http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-rucks ... 5-6533.prd



a 4 season sleeping bag Vac packed to save space and keep damp off it when in the car boot all winter.....

a full change of clothes (underwear, socks, thermals, t shirt, hoodie, black combat trousers) Again vac packed

MRE kit in the plastic box contains this with a few high energy gels and bars puritabs matches mangesium and flint striker and a bic lighter etc





bottle of water

Theres a orange survival bag

a breathable bivvy bag

a tarp and elastic cord to make a basha

Gloves / hat

Water proof breathable trousers (need to order a new jacket)

3 pk glow sticks

head torch

mess tin

hexi stove

Uco lantern with 2 candles

all packed away



the bag for £20 even has a rain cover




a whistle on the breast strap



and a nice padded and vented back

[unsure]

the only thing i can see missing is a decent pair of walking boots .thats assuming your not all ready wearing them .
if my change of job come off , then i can see me doing the same , as i work about a mile from home now . theres no need of one but this new job , if it comes off would be about 15 miles from home and thats a fair walk in any weather .

[Yorkshire Andy]

I wear hiking style safety boots for work (they are poor mans goretex and thinsulate lined) so that is covered (i also have a old pair of goretex boots at work incase my feet get wet)

[unsure]

then i think you have just about got it covered
relax grab a brew you `ve earned it

[Yorkshire Andy]

will go start the car and use the 12v kettle

just need a cup of some sort might get another crusader cup to replace the mess tin

and a new pack lite style jacket but have my work fleece and standard high vis rain coat in the boot anyway



car has its own bag some bits are interchangeable between kits torches and the like ..

Very tidy

Makes me want to sort out the tip that is the back of my car!

[Cromicon]

Agreed! That looks like a great set of kits.

well , ive got to sort my self out now . my change of jobs happens in 2 weeks .so i need to get my kit sort out .
so `im thinking :

energy bars .
water proofs
dry socks
spare phone
head torch
spare batteries
couple of bottles of water .

am i missing anything . for what could be a good 3 to 4 hour walk home in any weather .

Boots and ice grips?

[unsure]

boots will be on my feet , high leg water proof to a degree work boots . i say water proof ,, leather work boots with enough oil soaked in to them to help .

ice grips , theres an idea .
