Hi,

1)the lavenfder oil is just essential oil from the plant and apparently it does wonders for stings and is only a small container!

2)Its some of the lifesystems stuff which dores food, clothes and hands-i'll check!

3)good point!

4)nice idea i will do that!

The duke of edinburgh award is an award to encourage young people to get involved in the community, sport, interests and hobbies and the outdoors. It aims to motivate young people! It is ran omn the behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh-our Queens husband! It is highly regarded to employers iun the UK - one of the reasons i did it!

I assume that is O degress Celsius, rather than the antiquated system still in use here in the USA. That should be plenty warm enough, although you should test the bag before hand in field conditions, because ratings are often rather optimistic.

rucksack wise i used a 75 litre.
food wise i recomend the british army rations which all your meals, snacks, drinks etc. these you can sometimes get at army surplus shops or you can get them at www.bcbin.com
what do you carry in your first aid kit?

Yes it is celsius sorry i forgot about things like that!

Yes i think that is another hgood idea-i'm tempted to spend tonight oin the garden!!!

Almost correct, but the upper age limit is 25, not 17 - at least in Canada, I assume it's the same all over but I couldn't say for sure.
