What have done towards your prep?

[Scythe13]

This weekend has been a camping trip (no write up as it was only camping and not gear testing or anything like that, so not really prep related) and during this trip, aside from stalking animals and having a great time with my wife, I have had a wonderful chat with her about building a BOB, but also about working out a BOB that is right for her.

The trip showed her how much stuff she had already packed, just for a weekend, and how impractical it would be to carry such a large load for a long distance. It was a real eye opener for her. Even though I was carrying the bag (about 80lbs I'd guess at. Easily over 70, max guess would be 90) and she thought she'd packed small amounts of stuff, the total weight was considerable. Bare in mind that I only took a 1 season sleeping bag, a bag liner, and the camping cook system (ultra light, as you'd expect from me) the whole thing blew her mind.

She put forward a great idea, a walk from Haytor to Hound Tor camp at Hound then walk back the next day! AMAZING IDEA!!! Any takers? Oh, and it's full BOB's too.
