LDWA 100 – Recommended Kit Suggestions

This page is all part of my effort to walk the 2021 LDWA 100.

This list of suggestions is from Mike, who wrote more about his 100 experiences. Every 100 has a minimum kit list, and there are checks that entrants are carrying these items, but advice on what to take is really useful. I’ll try and collect more of these, they’re a really practical list that entrants can use.
