Estonia Kit List - Comments Please

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I'm taking my fishing scales to the hotel- they are close to accurate.

Putting a couple of small heavy things in the top of the bag helps-if its overweight at the desk, they can be put in pockets. For me, its 2 bags of Tangfastics :)

Some consumables should go in every bag, if kit gets wet for the return, it helps to cover the weight of the water. :)

I won't pack til the weekend now but with the current record level northern blocking, I think a quick thaw is now out of the question and more cold specific gear will be packed. Bring it on :)
 
Agreed, Ive just spent the last hour removing all the gear from the pile that isnt going. Wont pack till Monday though as i dont want to compress my dos bag till the last minute. All my weight will be in my carry on. should have capacity in my main pack in both weight and space terms.

Im more worried about getting to the airport at this point lol. Look like Saturday could produce some epic weather in the midlands and temps are set to stay low till we go. If i thought the mrs would let me get away with it id leave now and set up camp in your garden Pete :D

just as an aside ive packed some big packets of spices

Chilli Powder
Garamasala
Curry Powder
Garlic Powder
Chicken Stock Cubes

All change! :lmao::lmao::lmao:

I'm so glad I'm not a weather forecaster. :)
 
Massively Rich

Im effectively trialling a setup for much colder climates than i will actually see in Estonia but want to see how stuff works in a practical situation. I hope this trip will be a stepping stone to the far north so I am therefore toting a lavvu and ti woodburner which has pumped my weight right up.
 
Well gentlemen, today is final packing day today.

Gonna get it weighed, then re pack lol!!

Then this time tommorrow we be thousands of feet up in the air and you will have distinct pleasure of watching me bricking it for 2 hours!!!

I ain't getting on no plane crazy fool!!!

Could be worse Steve, at least you haven't got strong winds and heavy turbulence to worry about, oh hang on :)

Have a good trip lads
 
Nothing to worry about Steve.

Just because an aircraft has tens of thousands of parts, all provided by the lowest-bid supplier...................

Have a great time folks...
 
Just Think....I work for rolls royce and they let people a hell of a lot worse than me manufacture those engines ;) just a comforting thought....

Have a great trip lads. Looking forward to hearing all about it at next months meet
 
DAMN YOU ROYAL MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well back to ground dwelling it is chaps!!!

Gonna make myself a bath tub tonight out of a space blanket!!

Cheers for saving the day Mr Thrills!!!
