Any of your children done the D of E stuff
My Daughter is doing it, she has her sports covered, she has he volunteering sorted ( teaching netball and swimming )
She is going to do her first Hike in Oct
So i have decided on a pair of boots for her, no drama with that, not spending the earth on them as she will only wear them a few times
Got a decent sleeping bag, jacket and layers
so looking at Cooking stuff and deciding on sleeping mat and rucksack, not of course weight will come into it, so either self inflating mat, or a foam mat, the later being the lightest
Now the rucksack, imho the army have perfected the rucksack, the 60 L must be the best bet, the Molle system works really well, so why look anywhere else ? ? ?
cooking, looking at the highlander blade, great kit, or might choose the welsh made BCB Crusader
any hikers ? ? ? or people who have had kids do the D of E hikes offer any advice
