Hi stu,

as you are aware, we plan to do similar about the same time, but added to your kit criteria, you have to make your own rucksack to carry your gear in/on.

good luck and enjoy

Yeah a Rucksack is interesting, I was going to amke one, but on research found that most abandoned the rucksack way as it was combersome , and uncomfortable to carry, most went for a bed/blanket type rol thing for ease of kit sheading in emergencys...

That pack looks good Sam, but I am still not sure about Rucksacky thing.. as Above most put their kit on in layers for ease of dumping it if they needed to.. and just slung it across the body over one shoulder
