Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
BTW guys he has a Roc- the side pouches are about half the size of the zip on pouches for the PLCE/Sabre bags. His main bag is 70 ltrs. I used to have one but stupidly sold it for about £40 in the mid 90s. A Roc with side pouches is just a touch bigger in volume than a Sabre 45 with pockets.
It appears he has the 90 pattern GS bag (bigger than the 58 bags!). That is the biggest stumbling block as they are very good bags but a very large and heavy bag. Personally I find I need MORE room for kit when hanging than when I ground dwell.
A cheap way to reduce size and weight is use a smaller (less warm) doss bag and wear a softie bivvy suit to increase the warmth.
If you can fork out £100 quid for one of the latest mats you can be comfy and warm on the deck, but there are times when being on the floor is just too miserable.
