Buff

The number of applications for such a ridiculously simple piece of fabric are very impressive. The purchase is worth it in any case. The Buff is basically nothing more than a tubular scarf which is made of various fabrics such as polyester, polyamide, merino, etc. together with spandex. Thus, it is extremely stretchy. Depending on the model, the Buff also offers UV50 protection. The colors and variations are very diverse.

Survival knife

For longer outdoor adventures you will need the Bear grylls axe, the Bear grylls knife and a strong paracord rope in case you have to abseil somewhere. In no case forget the folding shovel. The 4 KG extra weight is certainly well invested.
