What do you take camping

This is not an answer to the question but is just a little tale about what one takes camping in real life.

In the last year of the war, and the first couple years of the peace, there were three of us in the scout troop who used to go camping together fairly frequently. We had a couple of  sites that we used regularly and a others that were used only occasionally. With almost everything still being rationed we had to take with us all the comestibles we would need. ( However we could often get milk and eggs on site.)

The first thing to do after putting up the tent and gathering twigs for a fire was to take stock of the combined food supply. On one occasion Peter opened up the "lucky bag" that his mother had put together for him and started to take stock. He suddenly came out with words that would have made Baden Powell turn in his Bivi.

"Look at this **** lot. What do we want all this lot for ?" 

His mother had filled 5 glass Alka Seltzer tubes with salt and just popped them in his rucksack.

No, we never found out why.

I have come across very few people who know what the "stone in 'orses 'oof" thing is in reality.

Any offers????

It needs to being with the letter "L"

Hence it must be a Lifter of Stones from 'orses 'oofs to which you refer.

I have strange device on my Swiss Army Knife that looks like it would do the trick if wielded at a suitable angle and with considerable force. That assumes of course that the 'orse is cooperative (as opposed to Spar, Tescos or Sainsbury)
