Here we go ladies and gentlemen!! A 2nd lighter weight over night trip planned for tomorrow.....
A little teaser, a taster if you like, of something to come. As seems to have become the norm, here's me kit. A slight change to the last lighter weight over night. I have been looking at my kit and geekin a bit in UL forums. So my nalgene bottles have been swapped out for a lighter option, me Trangia has been swapped for something lighter and I've ditched stuff that I dint use last time.
I have rule see.... my rule is: if I aint got it I aint buying it. Use what I have got and try to get a bit lighter.
I'm NOT going mental and trying to be a weight sadist, I just want to see how light I can go with my own kit. So here is version 2 of my attempt at a lighter weight load out. BOOM.....
Group 1 cooking and useful stuff
2 x 850ml smartwater bottles
Sawyer mini filter
Ravpower charging pack
Tatonka 500ml cup
Beer can stove and lighter (inside cup)
Yellow folda-cup
Metal spoon
Pocket knife (Rangergrip 78)
Mini wash, toilet kit.
Group 2 clothing
Karrimor dry bag
Goretex socks
Thermal top and bottoms
Merino wool buff
Sealskinz gloves
Berghaus primaloft jacket
Group 3 sleeping kit
Down sleeping bag
Snugpak SF Bivi Bag (sleeping bag inside)
Cuts down roll mat as a sit pad
Inflatable roll mat
Jerven bag
That's it folks. All packed in my deuter groden 32ltr pack.
It feels lighter than last time so I think I'm getting lighter. I don't weigh it, I'm not that obsessive. Food wise I've packed a noodle cup meal for dinner (I'll be heading out after a big lunch), a coffee sachet, tea bag, 2 sweeteners, a ritter sport hazelnut chocolate bar and some oat cakes. That'll do.
As before, my plan is to head out early afternoon, find a spot and do something before settling in for the night. I'll be up very early to get back home to help with the morning chores.
Watch this space for an update once I have been out!!!
PS: I will most likely arrive at a spot to camp by as the light fades so I'll have a good few hours to amuse myself before bedding down, so give me something to do! A task, a challenge, something fun or something to expand my bushcraft knowledge!! Put your ideas below and I'll pick the one that sounds the best and I promise to do my best to do it!
