Personal Kit (Adventure Expeditions)

Group Kit

Please leave space in your rucksack for your group kit. These items will be given to you upon arrival/after training and/or pre-expedition checks. Group kit is provided, so you don’t need to bring or purchase these items. Group kit is split evenly between yourself and your team members. Group kit is:

• Tent;
• Trangia camping stove and cooking pots;
• Gas;
• Emergency shelter;
• First aid kit (this is additional to any personal first aid kit and/or medications).

Weight of packed expedition rucksacks

Carrying your expedition rucksack means an extra load on your joints and back and we want to ensure that you have both a safe and enjoyable time on expedition with us. The DofE ask that your packed expedition rucksack weighs less than 25% of your body weight (this includes food and 2 litres of water).

We therefore ask that you ensure that you have an accurate and up to date measurement of your body weight before joining us so that you can take responsibility for ensuring that the weight of your rucksack does not exceed 25% while packing.

The weight of your personal share of group kit issued to your team will be a maximum of 4kg.

Please ensure that you pack all items on the kit list but not any unnecessary items or ones that are not listed and aim to make lighter swaps for items of kit where these are available to you. All packed Rucksacks will be weighed and checked by Instructors

Remember: weight of your packed expedition rucksack (including food and 2 litres of water) + 4kg (for group kit) should = <25% of your body weight.
