Thanx guys for a respond. Very sensible what 's been mentioned. I do the same never mind if I get dirty or hungry but my gear is safe.  I do have a knife and a scissors with me all the time, sometimes I have to clear the area around mushrooms or fungy, great help. Also if I am into something new, I have a notebook to right down what setting I was using and what condition I was in weather wise.
