What do you pack?

[grayclose31]

I am pretty new to bushcraft and just fancied asking you others ''What do you pack in your rucksack for a weekend away?

I know that different trips will mean taking different items but i just wanted a general idea.

I seem to have the same issue as others of a heavy rucksack but everything i take with me gets used.

I'm only a newbie, but would like to share my weekend pack:

Water: 2l of Water
Food: 1kg pack of Buckwheat (usualy too much), sausage (i case of nothing cought) and 200g margarine (good for all sorts of dishes)
First Aid Kit: bondages and simple medicine in case of emergency, plasters for often knife bites (very important)
Clothing: one set on me, one lighter set in a bag (waterproof)
Sharps: I like taking axe, bushie, saw (very light Fiskars), ckooked knife for carving.
Utility: Pot, bowl, spoon, tarp, sleeping bag.
By now it's quite heavy but i can walk with it for hours without rest.

Extra: folding shovel, some booze, project stuff

Need to get: bivi bag as you call it (sleeping bag is under a lot of stress without it), a nice mat, or hammock.
