Items I Carry (WiOTG)


As I continue my initial thoughts about The Relative Wilderness and the direction I want (can) go regarding creating a school that addresses mental health and the outdoors, thought I would bore you with one of my checklists. The canteen shop tweeted a question about field prep and reminded me of all my "lists/inventories." K&K stands for Karry and Komfort - a goal of mine. BTW, I don't carry all these items at once! That would be nuts. This is just a preview of items so that I don't "forget" an item that I should carry.
