- ground sheet (can't find it)
- gloves
- Salt, pepper and spices
I also noticed I might need:
- Utensils

Since I have a few hours during work today and also between work and catching the train I'll try to get these items in the following order of importance:
- Water bottle
- Utensils

- Gloves
I'll outsource the cooking fuel to Stefan ;)
