Modern - Period Kit

The expedition kit list is as would be expected - very basic.

Because our Land Rovers are small short wheel base versions we only have a small ammount of space to spare. As would be expected though we are taking more kit than the original team did, mainly because back in 1955 the students and all done national service so if you like were 'used to roughing it abit'. We however like our creature comforts, its amazing what differance it can have on peoples patients by just having say a small fan blowing on you in +100 heat. Small items like this, which are pratical we see as 'must have'

You must bare in mind in 1955 'in car' fans would have been unheard of along with such items like Lorry grade air horns and solar showers.

We are however doing some things in style.

These cookers and lamps for instance http://www.hurricanelamps.co.uk/ are brand new period items and will no doubt be able to stand up to the heights of modern technology. These lamps are small, handy and no different to the modern camping 'primus' stoves like you so often see in ex-army stores, its just they look cute.

So who's going to put the kettle on 1st......
