I have read and read Nessmuks classic over the last few weeks but I am courious about the pack he discribes and how he fit his outfit in it.
He states it holds over half a bushel (a bushel of dry goods = 36.369 ltrs according to my diary) and held a blanket bag, Tent, Hatchet, ditty-bag, tinware,fishing tackle, clothes and two days' rations.
What I want to known is can anyone explain how he got all this in to a bag this small and what it looked like?
Or am I just misunderstanding the text or is my Diary wrong.
Thanks in advance
