Those are Ribz mate. Its a front pack which allows me to add 20l to my loadout. once the food goes down a bit they will be stowed. ill use them as a carryon for the plane with my spare clothes and as a daypack with brew kit when im over there. Good bit of gear

Looking good chaps. Most of your food is dried then? Are you working to a common menu or catering to individual choice of meals?

Looks good, I like the IKEA drainer idea. I live on the edge of Østmarka, but I've been MTBing in Nordmarka -- lots of nice nature. It's starting to get chilly here; have you considered taking a folding saw or a small ax?

Great kit all round. The food is intersting, would you anticipate loosing much weight on the trip (serious question).

Im carrying 2500 cals a day. Im planning a fair amount of walking so would expect to drop half a stove or so over the week. Ive plenty of spare capacity though :eek:

I would think so, hoping to burn off more than I can eat. For a week on this kind of food I'll usually loose 4-6 lbs.
