Our first solo 'ninja camp' this year and an excuse to test run some new shinies! ![Headbang :headbang: :headbang:](/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies_bcuk/headbang.gif)
These included the titanium Yukon stove, Eydon Poppin kettle and DD XL tarp!
Total kit including 8 litres of water and food (loads of chicken, Chinese instant noodles and sausages) came to approximately 30kg which was split between us. The stars of the show were most definitely the firebox, kettle and Uco candle lantern that we bought a couple of years ago.
Highlander Forces 65l pack
Osprey Kestrel 48 pack
DD XL tarp
Groundsheet
Alpkit Dirtbag mat
Alpkit Base 180 mat
Alpkit Skyehigh 600 sleeping bags (x2)
Alpkit Hunka bivy bag (x2)
Ti Yukon firebox
Eydon Poppin kettle
Alpkit Gamma headtorch (x2)
Uco candle lantern
medium Aluminium billy can + lid
MSR bowl (x2)
Lifeventure Ti cutlery set (x2)
Lifeventure Ti mug (x2)
Mountain King Expedition Carbon poles
Mora Clipper knife (x2)
Bahco Laplander folding saw
4l Liquitainer (x2)
Paracord
Fire lit (lighter, flint & steel, tinder, eco firelighters)
Brew kit (lots of teabags, squeezy condensed milk, hot chocolate etc)
Shewee (!)
Things we learnt:
1) we need lighter footwear - heavy boots + hills are not a good combination!
2) camo tarp would have been better for blending into the scenery, although the only passers by we saw had lost their way.
Sleeping arrangement - this was later adjusted as the wind changed direction...![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Playing with the Poppin kettle for Pinky's brew!
And again (note: Pinky would have intravenous tea if possible), using the Yukon's fire
Lunch! - Yukon definitely needs a bigger and more stable grill so going to recommission one of my grill trays![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
