I Think I have a problem

I reckon Tank has it about right. Don't get me wrong, I love gizmos and shiny things as much as the next bloke and am guilty of kit hoarding purely on the basis that it's a 'nice thing' or a lovely bit of shiny techie gear. But bushcraft skills are about what you can get away with NOT carrying.

Everything else is just living outdoors/ in the woods as comfortably as the kit you're happy to carry will allow. Nothing wrong with that either in my opinion, it's just the more kit you carry the further from 'bushcrafting' you get and the closer you are to what I would call 'rough camping'. Keep going up the scale, through 'normal camping' and eventually you end with a trailer full of camping gear including an 8man mansion of a tent that has a carpet, a seperate porch, and a fridge......

Nah. You end up with something like this

Nice pack! try not to get a kit complex. It's not how big your pack is, it's what you do with it that counts! :thumbup:

See too many "all the gear, no idea" folk around, especially now it's warming up a bit!

You need enough kit to make it less like hard work and more like good fun. The balance is personal to the individual.

Well said 👍

It's not really a kit complex just a set up that I have used tested and it serves me very well I can carry it comfortably.
I totally agree all the gear no idea. The most useful bit of kit is knowledge and that is best learnt of others.
