Early Morning in the Snow

What's in my rucksack?

For the curious, here's a list of the equipment normally in my rucksack:

• 7.5m of 10mm rope and 2.5m of 5mm rope
• a 1:25000 map of the Yorkshire Dales
• Petzl Zoom caving lamp, with spare bulb
• notepad and 2 pens
• 2 microfibre towels
• Samsung L60 digital camera and a mini tripod
• 2 karabiners (HMS and D) and 2 mallions
  
• matches and a flint and steel
• a whistle and first aid kit, in case of emergency
• Northern Caves 2, caving guide book
  
• set of cutlery
• 2 spare torches and spare batteries
• Garmin Geko GPS and a compass for navigation

Also I normally take food, drink and a change of clothes when I'm walking. :-)
