II. THE TEAM
E - EQUIPMENT
The equipment list below is not meant to
be complete. It is suggested equipment for
expeditions in hot, faraway countries, with
nights spent outdoors.
Bedding
1 folding cot or a foam pad,
1 down sleeping bag as nights are often cold
in the desert,
1 space blanket capable of serving during
the days as a sun shelter.
Various equipment
1 heavy-duty snow shovel (light and
practical for getting out of sand),
10 m of mountaineering rope, diametre 11 mm
(can be used for towing),
1 sealed rubber electric torch with
international cylindrical 1.5 V batteries,
1 all purpose camp knife with tin and
bottle-opener, corkscrew, etc.,
1 plastic basin,
2 pairs of goggles with UV protection,
number 2 green,
1 pair of high canvas boots (“Palla-rangers’),
Metal canteen with felt cover
(may be moistened and hung outside on side mirrors),
1 mosquito net,
1 portable gas stove (camping gas),
1 set of saucepans that nest inside each
other,
1 washing up liquid.
You’re not going off to war: don’t encumber
yourself with a weapon; it will be of no use
whatsoever. In the event you might have the
absurd idea of bringing one along, it may
only get you into a lot of trouble at border
crossings. However, if possible take with
you, a “Polaroid” type camera and fi lms.
You will be able to offer “snapshots” to
those whom you will meet at the crossroads
of adventure and this will be for you like a
passport for friendship. For transporting
your equipment in convertible cars like the
2CV, removal of the back seat and the
fastening in its place a metal chest, locked
with two padlocks is recommended. The chest
should be bolted to the frame of the car in
such a way it cannot be removed without
being opened (fi gure 40).
