Great idea - and I've never done it. I do train senior Scouts in Wilderness Survival merit badge. I challenge them to what I call a "One Pound Camp." We go out for two nights and three days when temps will not go below 50 deg. F. Rules are:
- you bring a bag and contents of your choice - cannot weigh more than one (1) pound!
- leader brings bulk water (though you must demonstrate water purification from the "bag") - leaders DO NOT provide cups, pans, etc.
- leader brings food (we use emergency rations, like MREs) (though you must demonstrate the ability to gather food from the "bag") - leaders DO NOT bring any utensils, pots, etc.
- Leaders bring backup sleeping bags provided by participants, but are only used in a real emergency, e.g. extra cold, etc.
- can dress any way you want, but no extras hidden in pockets, etc. No key ring kits, etc.

I can only report that Scouts can be very ingenious! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
