Well played here.
Underneath the façade it's another "Bushcraft snobbery" thread.
Seems like that is what some people like doing doesn't it?
Kit that's allowed to be carried on the outside of a rucksack...

Reading the first couple of posts I feel a bit like I am in the outcast group.... I carry my water filter in the outside side pocket - it is one of those water filter bottles - for quick access to my drinking water....
Don't worry, I carry my roll mat on the outside. I just can't seem to roll it up tight enough to stick anywhere else tbh.
I read the list in the OP and thought of this...

I tried making mine into an large open cylinder, sliding it into my pack and then packing into it - that worked OK.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
so , to clarify;
this is acceptable
but this isn't?
Military exemption; If the biggest rucksack available isn't big enough then you may add things to the outside.
Flags should be kept in the pack I think....
Except when Americans are flying overhead!

walking through the woods last weekend someone pointed out that i have a lizard on my rucksack, it's just a little stuffed thing, maybe 3 or 4 inches long, and in nicely subdued colours. it's kind of my camping mascot, i found it on my tent roof when i woke up at festival one morning and it's been shoved under a little strap on my rucksack ever since.
are small bean filled lizard mascots acceptable or not? or do they make me in to too much of a knobber? (i'm going out on a limb here and guessing that knobber isn't intended as a compliment, but i could be wrong)

Now this is quite an important point - what colour is the lizard, and are you sure it's a lizard and not a gecko?
these are very valid questions, and, in all honesty, they're not questions that i feel qualified to answer.
photo's inbound.....
It might be a skink... In which case it needs to be inside the pack... Newts also need to be stored inside preferably a lid pocket to prevent damage from falling objects....
The only thing that should be on the outside of the pack should be the makers name patch......as long as it's not one of the cheaper makes.Everybody must know how much you paid for your pack or what's the point of having all this expensive kit?
I don't have anything on the outside of my pack ,I find it catches on trees and bushes when I'm bushwhacking.I don't keep a water bottle outside either,I prefer to stop and have a bit of a doss now and again.That's the time to open the pack and have a drink.
