I love seeing these kind of threads where you get to see other peoples set ups but I have one question, where do you pack your food and water ? Even for one day/night trip out you will need to carry food and water and in my experience its these that take up a lot of room and weigh the most.

well theres still a bit of room to have a small but intensive 3 course meal but as i said i carry a litre externally on my belt no more room in this pack
theres still some small amounts of room to carry some rice etc like in the pot itself so i could manage
+ the pouch can be moved out of the bag and put on the belt as well opening about a litre and a halve more space in the bag itself

Nice load out.
How much does it weigh?
And is it comfortable?

I imagine it weighs about 4 kilos havent got annything to weigh it but its very light may actually be 3 kilos

well depends how you pack it walked 5 miles with it this morning had to ajust the position of the meths bottle so it was towards the outside but fine no probs

nice, I would be tempted to choose between the tarp and poncho and lose the inflating mat... but gain a sleeping bag instead! and choose between the two cooking kits too? just my opinion its still a pretty light kit.

lol the bushcooker isnt a cooking pot :p lol BushCooker also the poncho can become my bivi but i could when i get my new cooking pot open up a bit more space and have a small sleeping bag but my kit bag would have to go on a beltbut would still work

lol oops now i know what ya meant sorry got a bit confused there well i always carry that as is like to have a back up for unforeseeable circumstances

Certainly a tidy set up, but how long would you be planning on being out with just that? I know you said youcould carry some rice etc in a few places, does that mean you haven't yet or perhaps I've missed it. A sleeping bag will certainly take up much of the 20ltrs, god knows mines does but it's far from either light, small or warm.. lol Hopefully going up the hills again this weekend, and will see what my gear packs down to /weighs for a giggle..

lol my sleeping bag can compact down very small i still have bits and pieces of room i wonder how much i can get in there thinking of it if i where to use my poncho as shelter carry my bivi bag i would have a fair bit more space.
