Kit I
genuinely use.
A van has limited room, so everything here has to justify coming along. This will become an honest record of the equipment I use, including what worked, what annoyed me and what I would buy differently.
Kitchen & water
Pumps, containers, cooking equipment and the evolving answer to a sink that was never quite practical.
Field notes being preparedTools & maintenance
The tools carried for routine jobs, avoidable problems and the moments when freedom becomes mechanical.
Field notes being preparedWalking & camp
Boots, layers, shelter and the equipment that crosses over between van travel, hiking, bushcraft and Scouting.
