Picked up an Msr pocketrocket from go outdoors this weekend. First impressions are it’s really small/light but packs a punch! I’ll use it at work tomorrow.
Ah, I’ve left it inflated with the valve closed while I’m away the weekend. The end with the valve seemed much chunkier than the foot end, hoping it sorts itself over the weekend.
Always wise to take care of your feet. Need to invest in some decent socks too, I think. Alpkit Dortnag arrived today, with a little handwritten note which I thought was a nice touch. I've inflated it and will leave it for a night or two as directed - I guess to let it sort itself out after...
I know there's lighter bags but I wanted something tough that would last me. I'll have to sit down at somepoint and put everything I plan on taking, minus the sleeping bag etc which I don't have and see what it leaves me.
Like I say, the sleeping kit is a backup really but will be well worth taking! That stove looks cheap enough and small, Gas shouldn't be too hard to pick up if I run out?
There may be two of us so might be handy in that respect and I've already got it so saves buying another. I'm aiming to go as light as possible, around 10kgs ideally.
I don't plan on sleeping outside that much, just wanted to be covered for when I don't secure somewhere to stay. Sleeping bag choice is tricky because I'm hoping to head for warmer climates but also don't wanna get stuck somewhere and freeze to death lol
Tarp tent combo sounds a bit excessive? I'm hoping to use hostels/couch surf most of the time. The kit is really so I don't get stuck out with nothing if I can't find anywhere.
I'm going back and forwards between shall I bring a tent or tarp? Sleeping bag, mat, cooking equipment etc?
But now my thoughts are use my 3x3dd tarp set up as a lean to but half of it tucked under an alpkit dirtbag as a groundsheet. Decent sleeping down sleeping bag (can I get away without a...
Yeah maybe that was a bit optimistic! I’ll look at some 60litre packs as well, this could get expensive but you’re right, sleeping and carrying it should be a priority.
Sounds like it might be a decent down bag, self inflating mat and tent I’m after then. Will look into those and see what comes up in my budget. Will also be needing a stove. This is something that I’ll use at work anyway so will be a handy piece of kit to have.
I’m hoping to pack everythibg in...
Ive only used it hanging off my camper as an awning so far so would be good to use the bloody thing lol! I think foam mat, there's an excersize mat laying around the house, is there much difference?
