Hello,
This is my first time posting here. I’m an Irish expat in New York and am active on the BushcraftUSA forum too.
I’m trying to get a sense of what to bring out for an overnight as spring approaches. Where I am in New York, temperatures are usually in the high 30s to low 50s in Winter into early Spring.
I use the LL bean continental rucksack (33l backpack with the ability to strap things outside), which somewhat limits space. My sleep system is as follows:
Ground blanket - Arcturus emergency tarp (reflective)
Pad- Thermarest RidgeRest Solite Large
Blanket- 90% 4.5 lb wool blanket
Shelter- 10*10 tarp
*Additional*
- ENO single nest hammock with atlas straps
- Mylar blanket
Aside from that, I have a cooking pot, cordage, knife, multi tool, hatchet, some food, a poncho, a change of socks and underwear, and an extra sweater.
I’m trying to limit purchases and to focus on items that are cross functional but I understand I may need to bite the bullet on certain items.
