Large Outdoors
Knowing what kit to have with you is essential to having a safe trip with LargeOutdoors. With this in mind we have compiled this page of kit lists to offer you some help and advice on what to pack
If you are new to Large Outdoors and Outdoor Pursuits in general please do not feel that you have to go out and purchase all of the kit on all of these pages (that would need a big loan or remortgaging your house). You would be better off attending some events and gaining the experience and talking to other members about what kind of kit you should purchase. Then slowly purchase the kit that suits your skills, body and budget.
As a guide we have listed compulsory equipment that the leader will insist you have before you continue with the activty at the top of the page. We have also suggested ideal kit you should carry with you as a matter of best practice. There is also a section for leaders and what we expect them to carry.
If you are a leader LargeOutdoors maybe able to help you with the purchase of additional kit. Please get in touch for more details.
Large Outdoors has made some suggestions on what to look for when you buy your kit. This is based on members personal experiences and is in no way an endorsement of a product or supplier. As such Large Outdoors Ltd will not accept any responsibility for members who make “bad” purchases or suffer an injury due to having the incorrect kit
