I agree - and thanks, I think thats all most of us would like and can reasonably expect, we just want to know what you as a RO want us to carry in case its different to our own judgement. We wont all agree all of the time and knowing what you want should save arguments, disqualifications and/or and need for any sanctions against runners who could end up being punished for differences in opinion rather than deliberate breaches of rules.
Survival bag? If it was included in the list I would carry one with good grace (and have) - as long as I knew thats what the RO wanted, which is my whole point.
