Estonia Kit List - Comments Please

[ex-member BareThrills]

i use the dog scales in the reception at my local vets so ill be fine.

 

[Teepee]

I'm taking my fishing scales to the hotel- they are close to accurate.

Putting a couple of small heavy things in the top of the bag helps-if its overweight at the desk, they can be put in pockets. For me, its 2 bags of Tangfastics

Some consumables should go in every bag, if kit gets wet for the return, it helps to cover the weight of the water.

I won't pack til the weekend now but with the current record level northern blocking, I think a quick thaw is now out of the question and more cold specific gear will be packed. Bring it on

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Agreed, Ive just spent the last hour removing all the gear from the pile that isnt going. Wont pack till Monday though as i dont want to compress my dos bag till the last minute. All my weight will be in my carry on. should have capacity in my main pack in both weight and space terms.

Im more worried about getting to the airport at this point lol. Look like Saturday could produce some epic weather in the midlands and temps are set to stay low till we go. If i thought the mrs would let me get away with it id leave now and set up camp in your garden Pete

just as an aside ive packed some big packets of spices

Chilli Powder
Garamasala
Curry Powder
Garlic Powder
Chicken Stock Cubes

Tidy, has the kit list changed much since post #1 Paul?

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Massively Rich

Im effectively trialling a setup for much colder climates than i will actually see in Estonia but want to see how stuff works in a practical situation. I hope this trip will be a stepping stone to the far north so I am therefore toting a lavvu and ti woodburner which has pumped my weight right up.

 

[jacko1066]

Well gentlemen, today is final packing day today.

Gonna get it weighed, then re pack lol!!

Then this time tommorrow we be thousands of feet up in the air and you will have distinct pleasure of watching me bricking it for 2 hours!!!

I ain't getting on no plane crazy fool!!!

Could be worse Steve, at least you haven't got strong winds and heavy turbulence to worry about, oh hang on

Have a good trip lads

 

[Andy BB]

Nothing to worry about Steve.

Just because an aircraft has tens of thousands of parts, all provided by the lowest-bid supplier...................

Have a great time folks...
