Talk:Kit

xkcd! Chris you beat me to it! --Coops

Do we really need this page? Whilst the subject is certainly relevant to the club, the content of such a broad topic is bound to be pretty rubbish. Unless we're writing about multiday kit which is special for UMHC is there much point in repeating what is very heavily documented elsewhere?

Cut it right down to perhaps a simple list, with plenty of links to sites which cover the topic properly. Destroy all the hear-say statements based on personal opinion, along with the incomplete and inaccurate tosh.

Why get rid of it, its not doing any harm there as it is.

If people want a broad overview of the equipment that they are likely to require if setting off on a multiday walk then the page is there to get people to think about the gear required to get them started.

It must be pointed out that the original had alot more detail than the one up there now which has been cut back and potentially less useful, however i still feel that it provides the basic information that may be useful.
