Hi Guys, if things go to plan tomorrow, I will be able to attend for Friday night, been told must attend family barbecue Sat eve. Will be good to catch up with you all again.
Hi, thanks for a grate weekend lads and also a big thanks to colin for the folding cup. My response pack lasted the full weekend with flying colours, to be honest better than I ever expected, thankfully the weather was in my favour being nice all weekend. The total time from arrival at the site to consumption of an external item not in my response pack was 54 hours ☺ now wondering if I can do a 72 hour stint out of a response pack, maybe a challenge for next year. Later Carl
Unlike Carl I only went for 24 hours, but would have sufficient for 48 hours, especially if I replaced some equipment for more food.
This is the Snugpak Response Pak, the only things on the outside of the bag was a headnet (part of my carry anywhere would normally be in pocket) and Saywer filter etc (water was allowed to be carried separately, ie not in the Response Pak).
This is the contents of the Snugpak Response Pak, ground sheet (from old tent outer) was also in Response Pak, I had 8 safety pins in the survival tin which helped to create a bathtub and stop some of the insects.
This is my Camp, below the Sol Bivy Lite bag is a blow up bed, this is shown in the picture above next to the orange bag.
This is showing bannock bread being cooked on sticks (lesson learn't don't make it too thick on the stick otherwise it will drop off - sausage size is good)
