Kit List

 

This is probably what you will need to run JOGLE self-supported. You will find that some things work for you and some don't. The only way to find out is to take your kit out to the hills and spend a weekend running and camping - you'll soon find out what fits. Better to spend a cold wet night close to home than hypothermic in the Scottish Highlands a day away from assistance.
