Quick couple of questions on that;
1. Thin baselayer helly/smartwool - Is a normal Helly ok or does it need to be a warmer one? (I don't own one that's all)
2. Mini survival bag - I have a bright orange cheapy survival bag that's basically a big heavy duty plastic bag, is that ok?
3. Mobile phone - do you have to carry one or is it an optional extra?

I was hoping not to bore on about kit again but just wanted to check rather than screw up and not bring some obscure item along which would be pretty annoying.
