Going on an adventure holiday

Colin is packing for his adventure holiday.

He is thinking to himself.

I need to take a tent to sleep in and a sleeping bag to keep warm. I need a life jacket for white-water rafting because the water may be very dangerous. I need to take a pan so I can cook my food. I must remember to take some chocolate too.

I need to take a parka and boots for trekking in the mountains, and I mustn’t forget to take extra clothes to keep warm in the mountains. I think all these things should keep me warm and safe. Now, where’s my chocolate?
