Re: what is the most useful item you have. for an overland trip?
A proper frying pan, from bacon and eggs in the morning to fried chicken for tea, and a wipe round with a baby wipe and it's ready for the next meal! Forget cheap camping pans, they're crap! Get a decent frying pan, I use a Tefal!
Honda, the power of dreams.

Always like to bring a fishing outfit, dont always get the chance to use it, but great to have when you end up camping beside a lake or river

Mobile phone. iPhone 5 is my mobile of choice. Keeps me in touch with the outside world and even if there is no coverage it allows me to watch a film/tv show. What can I say, I love camping, but I love my creature comforts..........
Why? Why not?

Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Head torch. Very light (no pun intended), handy for breakdowns, reading at night etc..and like most things with led lighting they hardly use any battery power.

My phone and charger.
It's my sat nav..my camera..my music thing..my lifeline to help if i need it..my online bank account.
Lets be honest..when was the last time you went out of the house for over 30 mins and did not have your phone.
It's a sad fact of life that we are all dependant upon them.
