  Well, as I said before, if a winter trip, you will need ice picks and crampons, for your boots....As well as special thermals....
  But I've been to the Bavarian mountains in summer, also....It's great...Depends on the height...Very high peaks keep snow, all year round, many do not....
  
  Here is Bad Reichenhall in summer...Many peaks have no snow, around the town...
  
  Wow, the Alps are so delicious....;-)

  I love the whole area of southern Bavaria...Another town I've visited and enjoyed, staying at an excellent gasthof (inn,) is Mittenwald....A mountain cable car is run...
  
  "Mittenwald is located approximately 16 kilometres to the south-east of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It is situated in the Valley of the River Isar, by the northern foothills of the Alps, on the route between the old banking and commercial centre of Augsburg, to the north, and Innsbruck to the south-east, beyond which is the Brenner Pass and the route to Lombardy, another region with a rich commercial past and present.,"
  
  The town is surrounded by mountains and heavily pine forested...

  Speaking of maps I've been around the world and always get the local maps...Especially for camping and touring...I've been to Bavaria, but looking at my map collection I have found two German/Austrian region maps, one is Berchtesgadener - Topographische Karte 1 : 50,000..It's the Alpen region of southern Deutschland, near Bad Reichenhall...It also shows the Osterreich border and Salzburg, to the north...So parts of both countries are on the map...
  
  The other map I collected was a different trip, and it's Möhnesee im Naturpark Arnsberger Wald....Wanderkarte 1 : 25,000.....
  
  And Bad Reichenhall has some great hotels...I enjoy staying in a small Gasthof...and then out into the forests...

  Well it depends on the season, but there are 4-season tents.....All the standard kit, but one item people often overlook and suffer for it, is an insulation mat, for sleeping on....Very important, as the ground can get cold and the body suffers....But, cooking gear, spare matches, poncho for rain, firelighter, torch, ordnance survey map (scale 2cm to 1km) chemical light (snap and break type,) mat, binoculars, tent, a change of clothes, spare gloves, boots worn with thin inner socks, plus thick outer socks....this prevents blisters...a medical kit, if you do have a problem, good knife, an axe for chopping wood, rations, etc....
  Yes, the large rucksacks are OK, as they have numerous outer pockets for maps, compass...Albeit, better keep your compass on a lanyard, so it can't get lost...
  So much, but it depends on the season and what you are planning.....In snow you will need additional equipment..

  Yes, a camping kettle is always useful....You can collect and boil rain water, or obtain water from a running spring. Then use puri-tabs...Mountain water is often clean....You will need water for your meals, as well...But in a cold camping scenario, a good cup of coffee or tea, is great for morale..It's more than physical, it's psychological.....Especially in winter....And of course, make sure you are wearing dry trousers, and/or have a change of clothing, if one set gets wet....There is a material called Gore-tex, which is waterproof and breathable....
  For myself I always use military gear...

  Yes, such firelighting tools are always useful in survival situations. But you must remember to use tinder for your fire....It could be wood shavings, in small dry amounts, to get the sparks to set fire to larger pieces of dry wood, which you feed the fire with...
  Yes tinder boxes that produce sparks are better than matches...Especially if it's windy...A match can be blown out in one gust of wind, but the sparks will be great firestarters...But in general, select a site for your camp, out of the wind....Maybe using a windbreak, which is natural, or one erected, for the camp...Even a tarp or poncho, may help....

  Oh, sorrry about that Judith....Yes it can be annoying when a YT vid is freely available in one country and not viewable in another...It seems to make a mockery of the concept of an INTERnet... Anyway, cheers dear....Drekx ;-)
