And you need a large plastic bag and a shovel in that emergency kit, too.

PTB, you cannot be serious [est]!
People totally glaze over when presented with compass and map in combination. Let’s hope there’s no fog in the Mournes.[Heads off to os website!]
cathaldParticipantI see on Petes guide to the mourne trip and what to bring he has a ? after a penknife
I take a penknife in case Sean tries to steal my extra fags or worse still NFL steals my chocolatePeteTheBlokeMembercathald wrote:

I take a penknife in case Sean tries to steal my extra fags or worse still NFL steals my chocolateI carry a knife at all times Cathal. My wife worries about what the polis would
do if they caught me. I put the ? there in case anyone felt they should check
law first. If the blade is less than 3 inches and the knife folds, then you have a
reasonable chance of explaining it away. Mine is always sharp enough to shave
with, but I often wonder if a blunt knife counts as a knife at all – I expect it does.
I’d like to see a barrister argue that a blunt knife is just a piece of metal and not
a blade – and I say that in all seriousness. Brandyman??Pixelle, maps do seem to confuse some people but I genuinely don’t understand why.
Locating oneself on a map, in a mist, in the middle of a wilderness is problematic at
times, but the secret is to keep track of where you are. Common sense and logic
can solve most problems; and that’s not just navigation problems.In my experience, the most dangerous thing in the mountains is a person who
is wrong but has the force of character to make other people follow him or her.
I’ve been led into some horrible situations simply because I was reluctant to push
my argument forward (underneath this web-facing exterior I’m as meek as a mouse).nfl-fanParticipantWhat about a hat… like the one modelled by this bloke I came across whilst surfing the web?

I have been in a few potentially dangerous situations before and I must say it is quite interesting to see peoples reaction to same.

PeteTheBlokeMemberIt’s the way some people (usually, but not always, men) become totally
and absolutely dogmatic about where they are and what should be done
next. I’ve been taken in – against my judgement – on a few occasions.
Afterwards, when you’ve been proved right, it can be too late. And if you
are as dogmatic (even knowing you are right) then you risk being as bad
as them.FintanParticipantthedarkroomParticipantjustaguy wrote:

Yeh, but your tea or coffee just never tastes the same after. Cappucino anyone?
