Teabags?! No self respecting teadrinker use teabags. Loose tea brewed in a pot is the only option. About summer/wintertime: I don´t like it. Keep the wintertime (normaltime) and forget about the changing twice a year.

Both water pouches (with white GID-patches) hangs in front, on my stomach, 1 litre in both. And the ½ litre poch hangs off the shoulder strap on the left. So 1kg on one side and 1.5kg on the other side. And the other pouches also take part in making it as balanced as possible. So yes I have had...

Telling me you never been in the army without telling me you never been in the army. Like I said earlier, this is purely for my need to let the perspiration from my back evapourate freely + it lowers the point of gravity. Don´t expect anybody else to embrace it.
