oh so proud of myself

a belated boastful post here folks
last weekend with the unpleasent weather and what not i managed to go away for two nights with a mere 70litres pack that was not straining at the seams!
(a true achievement for me)
to make it even better i used everything i packed bar the monocular(new toy to show swompy) and first aid kit!
A massive acheivement for me as i tend to be the one with the most toys when swompy and myself go away.
I even had space in my pack!

Please slap yourself 3 times on the left cheek for leaving valuable space empty when it could of been filled with a few bottles of mulled wine!

On a serious note, if I got spare space left in my backpack I always throw in some dry wood to help fire starting.
