What's in my Roycroft Pack?
- Thread starter spamel
- Start date
No map or compass, although they would be taken in an unknown area! There's still a few more, I'll post the picture soon and I hope I've counted the items right! If not, well, I was in the army!
Just uploading them to photobucket now! Didn't want any cheating! remeber, it isn't a complete kit that I would go out with on purpose, but maybe take on a day hike just in case.
Let's hope I've got everything and haven't put something down twice!
1.Axe
2.Hootchie/tarp
3.Hammock
4.The frame itself, can be used for fuel if it gets that bad!
5.Paracord to lash the pack to the frame, can also be used as a ridgeline.
6.Hobo stove
7.Billy can to fit the above, with adapted Trangia pan handle
8.Nylon straps for carrying pack and slinging hammock
9.Underblanket
10.Charcloth
11.Carved spoons X 2
12.Traditional flint and steel in a leather pouch
13.Folding saw
14.Bark River Fox River fixed blade knife
15.Cheap but excellent SanRenMu lock blade
16.Leather working gloves
17.Folding cup
18.Small karabiner to use with the tarp to make a sort of rain cape
19.Blanket to throw over the top when in the hammock or next to the hobo keeping warm!
The hobo stove still isn't quite finished, I need to tidy it up and just grind some little bits off at the top so that the pins sit in nice and neat. The kit above was just a few items I grabbed out of my bushcraft treasure chest to build the pack and get an idea of how useful it could be. I wouldn't mind doing a trip with a few more items just to see if I can cope with it.
Thanks for looking, by my reckoning John gets the prestige!
Cheers John, I had fun too!
Alan, I just found the neat place to stow the pins for my hobo stove. What do you think? It needs a lacky band or a bit of string to stop them pinging about, but they stay put and don't mess the inside of your billy up!

It is a trangia pan handle, I just cut it down about a centimetre to fit it flay in the bottom of my billy can. I'm sure you could pick one up by itself.
Yup, civvie version. The link for eBay has a trangia version, but you can get cheaper copies that work just as well.
Matt, I saw some in my local GO yesterday I don't know if you have one near you?

Nice set up spamel.
I am heading in the improvised/homemade kit direction myself as i find that stuff you knock up yourself is better,cheaper and fun to make.
Great stuff
