Suitable layered clothing and footwear.

Often will carry an emergency down gilet for others too, this does not matter if it is too big!

GPS (could be in your watch)
Phone, fully charged and text registered to 999. OS locate app installed
Small power bank and cable
Hat and gloves

Whistle
Headtorch and spare battery
Waterproof notebook and pencil
Pacing card
Food and drink (better too much rather than too little)
Bivy shelter

Blizzard survival Jacket
Section 2. Situational awareness to avoid the incident pit 7:33
Section 3.Attitude and planning in the mountains 9:51
Plan for the experience of the party (not to personal ambitions).
Take the right kit including food
Plan the route to see if it is feasible
Check the weather and keep an eye on changes
Be prepared to adjust your plans
I would like to add an emergency locator beacon to the kit in my rucksack, but you cant have it all.
Are there any bits of advice or equipment that you feel are essential? How about leaving a copy of your route with someone?
Let me know in the comments below.
