For me the sublime moment in Scoop was the scene on the train where Boot is swindled out of his gold sovereign.
Hilarious, but deeply sad.
I was reflecting that most efforts to film Waugh have been failures, and then I remembered Brideshead.

Hi,
So, in conclusion, outside of extremes, any kit will do just fine. Whatever you like and enjoy.
Quite so. The best thing to do is plan for the conditions you expect to travel in, and kit yourself out accordingly.
Hmph. I look at the mountain of gear and think, 'hmmm where can I drag that lot to...?'
;-)
I take my lead from William Boot, and never travel without at least the following:
a well-furnished tent 3 months' rations collapsible canoe jointed flagstaff and Union Jack hand pump and sterilising plant astrolabe 6 suits of tropical linen sou'wester camp operating table and set of surgical instruments portable humidor Christmas hamper with Santa costume and mistletoe stand cane for whacking snakes coil of rope sheet of tin several cleft sticks
