The only thing I plan to upgrade are the sleeping mat and sleeping bag and then maybe the rucksack.
The full kit not including food and water weighs in at 3.6kg.. remember the rucksack weighs around 1kg alone!
Contents:
Berghaus Munro Rucksack - Aprox 1kg
4 Season Foam Multimat
Alpkit Rig 7 Tarp
Alpkit Hunka Bivy
Sleeping bag
Cordage and tent pegs
MSR Titan Kettle
500ml Clip lock tub with cosy
2ltr Platypus water bottle
Evernew burner and trivet
Alpkit Spork
Basic first aid kit
Petzl Zipka headlight
Lighter
Meths
This is everything I need excluding food and water and using this pack I have plenty of room left over. Most of the room left over is because I usually have my Multimat inside but I either want a smaller packing mat or I will be using the foam mat and strapping it to the outside of the pack.
If you have any recommendations for a rucksack, sleeping bags and mats please leave a comment.
Thank you for reading.
I just got the REI Flash 62 backpack and I like it. It is 3 lb, and has a 62L volume. It is big enough for all my winter clothing, food and gear.
ReplyDeleteFor a winter bag, I have been using the Western Mountaineering Antelope dawn bag. It's not cheap, but it works.
By the way, what do you use for water purification?
Hello and thank you for the comment.
ReplyDelete62 liters is too big for me, the pack above is 35L and has a ton of room left over, i think it will be large enough for my winter kit or multiday camp.
The kit above was for a night out so 2 liters was enough but long term i use purification tables, looking at getting something better soon though just need to have a good look around.
Thanks again, Ben.
