After several trips out with my old army 20yr old Berghaus Roc I am disappointed with the amount of kit I seem to need when hammocking. My bergan wasn't this big when I had ammo and a radio in it.
The diy UQ takes a lot of space then add the tarp, hammock and sleeping bag and theres just enough space for the food and woodgas stove.
Last weekend I looked like some creature from the film labyrinth with a mountain on my back and extra kit tied to the outside.
I am now determined to take only what will fit inside, I can't go back to ground dwelling as it's too uncomfortable thesedays.
I have got down to it after some careful thinking.
Side pouch - DD 3x3 tarp, bungees, groundsheet, pegs
Side pouch - DD Frontline hammock & Whoopies
Top pouch - Wildstoves woodgas mk2 including backup trangia. Food for 24hrs
On top - Response pack
Inside - Diy UQ, Army sleeping bag in compression sack, clothing, water
It now looks like a manageable bergan to walk with.
Comments welcome
