There is a basic set of kit that I would recommend anyone take on the mountain with them, whether going out for a few hours or a few days.
One Day
Here is a list of kit you should carry for a day out:
- Rucksack
- Emergency Bivvy Bag
- Waterproof Jacket
- Waterproof Trousers
- Map
- Compass
- Torch + spare battery
- Walking Boots
- Drink
- Food
- Whistle
- Hat/ Gloves
- Phone
- Spare warm Layer
- Emergency food
- Personal First Aid Kit
Optional extras:
- Sun cream
- Sunglasses
- Gaiters
- Flask of hot drink
Multi-Day
If you are going out for more than one day, then you will need some extra kit either on you or between your group.
- Sleeping Mat
- Sleeping Bag
- Tent
- Stove/pans
- Spoon/knife/fork
- Spare clothes
- Spare Socks
- Water filter/purifiers
- Lighter and Matches
There may be other things you wish to take, but use this as a guideline to base your kit from.
