How much does your kit weigh?

My kit is huge though... sleeping arrangements for all seasons for 2 people plus all associated gear

It's the four poster bedroll made by Duluth that does it mate

I would expect it is, the only time that I used a bedroll I liked it, but I am very much a member of the hammock family nowadays. Bedrolls are good if you can find somewhere flat for them. Down here I have enough trees and enough hills (normally the same places that the trees are) that a bedroll isn't expedient.

Im with both of you on this one. The only thing in my kit that changes.........is the type of clothing for the season Im in.

Oi Pete,

The only reason you entered 17.6kg - 22.5kg in the poll was because you forgot to bring enough beer again

Cheers,

Phil.

I've never really thought about weighing my kit for bushcraft (used to do it in the TA but only so I didn't end up with rocks in my bag to make up required weight ).....I pack what I want/need, pick it up and walk out the door.....simple as that.
Can we have a poll option added saying "Don't know, don't care", so I can vote please

Cheers,

Bam.

Sitting in an airport waiting for a flight, all I can say is that I wish my travel kit weighed as little as the bush kit.

Only consolation is that I am leaving the horrible metropolis of KL city for Borneo again (or at least for week)

Generally the answer is too much.

When going to meet's etc definately too much as I'm always trying out new stuff or carrying stuff for "show and tell"

If out on my own, sometimes not enough - I have a bad habit of forgetting things. This is usually a good thing as it encourages improvisation.
