Load Carrying kit

[forestwalker]

hey forestwalker i always hear great things about Mors k. and his bushcraft skills also ideas on kit....on this side of the pond ,for me at least his books and booklets etc. are hard to come by...i would truly enjoy reading his ideas on bushcraft here in Arizona...

They can be ordered from e.g. http://www.grannysstore.com/Wilderness_Survival/Mors_Kochanski_Bushcraft.htm or http://www.karamat.com/books/pocket.html.

by the way the Swedish folks also make some top notch items of outdoor kit and the idea of putting survival items in a cooking vessel is starting to catch on here in the states.

It is really an improvement of the old notion of cooking in a pocket size tin (which is doable but silly). By going up to a 0.7-1 litre cooking pot one gets two things: a pot that is actually usefull as a pot, as well as the space for a bit more kit.

Go on then.
I'd really like to see the sets.
I'm sure remember a review of several of those sets in one of the old swat manuals.

I really want to see the kit you keep in each pouch as well tho'

Seeing as this thread is already going strong I'll post the photo's on a separate new thread,
I'll have to upload the photo's first but I'll try to do it today.

I have the thermo king size, bigger & heavier indeed... Will try it as a sleeping bag and report.

Ideal for the lightweight bushcrafter

Ah Exped's does look impressive, seemingly impossible to find the UK though...
