In jaws he states "I think were gonna need a bigger boat" in my case I think I need a bigger pack lol. This is about 90% of my kit I started bushcraft about 6-8months ago

Wait until it's two sheds, half the loft and most of an enormous cupboard :o....and the stash in the greenhouse and the metalwork stuff in the lockup :rolleyes:

Good kit for seven months though.....where's the foraged stuff ?

cheers,
Toddy
 
I can't remember the time when I had that little kit!

It now pervades every room, shed (3 of them), vehicle & garage I own - as well as kit stored in the garden and a paddock.

I appreciate that you've only been collecting kit for a few months, but I really think that you should "up" the pace and try to catch up ;)

I would rate your collection as "A fair start" but no more :)
My collection has taken over all 3 bedrooms, the living room, the garage, my van, most of the pantry and I have caches in three different woodlands!
 
Do you remember when the idea was to have one good knife a pot and a means to start a fire? That is Bushcraft. The rest is camping. I am as guilty as everyone else though and now have more kit than I am ever likely to need but if it is shiny and well reviewed I end up buying it and filing up yet another space with it! This month I have bought a brass pressure stove from the 50's and a Finnish Gas bag (after seeing one on this site). I need neither.
 
I can only take one bag out with me at a time - preferably weighing less than 20kg - not a big fan of carrying heavy stuff now. Yet I still have waaay more than that - I do have kids so all the extra stuff / duplication [triplication... sometimes even more :)] isn't wasted camping stuff but a valuable future resource.....

I have a hankering for a SADF 83 rucksack which I have resisted for a while now, but on the other hand it will be another bag I can keep stuff in tidily and out of the way.....
 
I think your real problem is that you have all your kit in one place, i like to keep mine all over the house in various draws so that when i need something it takes me an hour to find it.
 
An Hour... Ah. It took me three months to come across that billy can I put at the back on a shelf in the shed :)

Even more amazingly I had actually washed it before putting it away.....
 
Well thanks for the great responses I promise to try harder. I do have a huge amount of clothes tools gun equipment etc in other rooms and in the garage. So it's defiantly growing. I brought a new bag today just to fit it in. I totally agree you can only take what you can fit in your pack. Yes all you need is a knife pot and shelter. But it's also nice to have creature comforts. What do you think about the new pack.??
