I really enjoyed reading Patrick Leigh Fermor's kit list from his epic walk across Europe in the 1930's which is here:

It is a very beautiful piece of writing - and very different gear from most of us!

Those were the days. At least like Patrick Leigh Fermor I have a copy of Huxley's Antic Hay to add to my autumn/winter pack. The famous pneumatic cushion which is described by Huxley might also come in handy. Margaret Meredith
