Managed to get out for a quick overnight with a couple of fellows from work.. We hiked in to one of my ususal spots (here;s some of the terrain)
There was a pre built park shelter on site and although none of us slept in it.. was where we put our gear to start off with as thunder storms where predicted, Here' a my buddy doug posing
decided to practice my skills a bit and pend the night in a debris shelter
Being a well used campsite most of the debris was used up, but I did the best I could with what I had.
It spat rain on and off through out the night. but I stayed warm and dry till about 3:00 am I used a wool blanket under me and had no bag so Iat that point I through my jacket over me and slept till about 6:00 am when the Tom;s started gobbling (that time of year)
We dis some foraging, and acaught a number of Crayfish and frogs.. but not enought to really chow on so we let them go at the conclusion of the hunt there where ton's of wintergreen around however.. and some of it was still ripe and tasty
Cutting up some spam
posing for sexy woodsman magazine
and Yep we had S'mores
I wanted to keep gear to a relative minimum so here was my load out
it consisted of the following:
My survival necklace (led, mini compass, whistle, Ferro, TInder )
Wool blanket
Poncho
Mora carbon companion
spare stainless mora
cammilus bk9
leatherman wave (not pictured)
headlamp (not pictured)
sharpening stone
strop
2 waterproof capsules one of tinder one of matches and a spare misch rod
50 feet of Cord
1st aid kit
14cm zebra pot
stainless cup
wool hat
Filson bush hat
pipe and tobacco
work gloves Not pictured
just some random camp pics
Good fun all in all Thanks for looking

How are you liking the Mora, the one that replaced the Clipper?
