What can i fill my proteus with ?

[pumbaa]

My Maxpedition proteus turned up today
Thing is its got me thinking , what can i put in it ?
I was thinking of using it as a minimum kit that would enable me to stay out overnight doing bushcraft and compliment it with the contents of my bergan .
So the question is " What do you keep in yours "?

I have the Snugpak Response Pak which is very similar to the Proteus. Possibly the best £15 I spent. I guess men need handbags too.

There are various threads on British Blades about this. I usually carry mine as a day bag, without (intentionally) spending the night out.

Usually I have:
Waterproof (Craghoppers Pakka jacket plus or minus trousers)
Windshirt (Arktis, Pertex)
8x30 Russian monocular
K&M Matchcase/compass
Midge Repellent (not needed just now!)
Chocolate
Whistle (Perry or Fox40)
Inova 24/7 LED light
Vinyl poncho (£3, from Highlander)


For intentional overnights, the problem is the sleeping bag - you might get a Softie 3 or 6 in there, but it would be tight. I have a Softie 6 -if you want I could check it out.

Like here, for example.
I asked the same question!

One suggestion I have adopted is to carry a hot melt glue stick.

With that and a lighter you can do jury-rig repairs.

Choose a day for me to come over to your place and I'll show you what I keep in mine Glue sticks are a great idea, one I 'aquired' from someone else on BB although I forget who now

Just incase you're wondering, the long white thing under the zip ties is a hot melt glue stick, an idea I got from Narsil

HTH *bows*

i want something like a proteus (may need something bigger though) where did you get it and how much?

Pumbaa,

If you get really stuck for ideas, fill it up with £5 notes (or £50's if you want) and post it to me.

I got mine by lurking in the Portabello road section at BritishBlades.
Reasonable (£34 pre-loved, but in as-new condition).

AFAIK you could get them from ExtremeOutdoorGear at £43.10 + shipping, I don't think Andrew at Outdoorcode does them, and, of course toolshop at 75 Euros(£51 or so) .

HTH HAND.

Or buy a Snugpak Response Pak, £15 new. Looks like a clone of the Proteus.

I have one and it is great, i used to use it to take my sandwiches to work.

Now i use it as a possibles bag and keep it in my sack till i go for a wonder away from my sack then i take it with me.
