starting from scratch

[suspectmonkey]

I did a bit of googling SM's list and it was a bit scary.

Agreed!  That list is purely hypothetical based on someone handing me £500-750, which does seem unlikely   Mind you the stove, rucksack, trousers, boots and sleeping mat I all have, but I didn't pay RRP on a single one of those items - they were all either on sale or from eBay. 

I could do without the Terra Nova, I just wanted to add some bling to the list
