Hysteria+stuff=stuffsteria

The temptation to “invest” in every possible gadget has started to become a dangerous possibility, when you think about it all you really need for a trip like this is a rucksack, tent, sleeping bag, stove and a couple of changes of clothes. The reality being that I’m going to encounter some kind of shop on a daily basis so I don’t need to carry vast amounts of dehydrated meals and water with me, I’m going to the West Country, not the Himalayas.
