>>128494Very nice list! A few suggestions:
- There are very few trees on the highlands, or in the mountains; you'll want to take a one man tent instead.
- You can cut down that emergency food too, unless you've got some very light food. Two warm meals and a load of sugary sweets should be enough to get you back to safety.
- Open fires are /generally/ forbidden in the UK; the environment is unfortunately a bit to flammable in areas! Take a good lighter, but you'll be unlikely to be using open fires.
- Wool is good, but look at synthetic alternatives too; in some cases, synthetics will both outperform and be cheaper than wool.
- Don't worry too much about taking the survival books with you, but do make sure to memorise the priorities of survival and some basic shelters and traps.
Also, while I do usually take binos with me, they are optional! Perhaps a monocular would fulfill the role too?
