Inside, I've put a Brit artic bag in it's compression sac, a swanndri mosgeil xl, a swanni shirt, a wool mackinaw cruiser type jacket xl, a pair of loden wool.llago trousers, and my Goodall one man cloth tent. These are just placed in, not stuffed, and I can still synch the top. Under the lid is a sheepskin sleep mat.
Front pocket has a crusader mug, osprey bottle, cup and small esbit stove. Other pocket has a Westwinds double skin coat size m.

How does it feel loaded? Ready to enter the Yukon!

I'm going to dismantle it, there must be a purpose to the rods and frame other than support....

Sheepskin sleep mat?

It's a sheepskin jacket I've cut up. I use it inplace of a mat or underquilt in my hammock and as a floor mat if sleeping on the ground sometimes

Has. That moth eaten heavy smelly old thing... There's a reason blacks went out of business.

Anyhow i'm just down the road. Let me rid you of its cumbersome load.
