Whats kind of roll mat is that Cliff?
What is that green bag in front of your Granite gear pack Paul?
Stay safe. Good luck. Looking forward to photos.
Those are Ribz mate. Its a front pack which allows me to add 20l to my loadout. once the food goes down a bit they will be stowed. ill use them as a carryon for the plane with my spare clothes and as a daypack with brew kit when im over there. Good bit of gear

Details of final location are still to be finalised until we all meet in a couple of weeks time to go through the maps. Its all very accessible though
Looking good chaps. Most of your food is dried then? Are you working to a common menu or catering to individual choice of meals?
Good thing about that area though is there are several lakes and its stunning forest scenery...good luck hope you lot have an amazing time.

Great kit all round. The food is intersting, would you anticipate loosing much weight on the trip (serious question).
Im carrying 2500 cals a day. Im planning a fair amount of walking so would expect to drop half a stove or so over the week. Ive plenty of spare capacity though
I would think so, hoping to burn off more than I can eat. For a week on this kind of food I'll usually loose 4-6 lbs.
