Woods bumming bags?

[Highbinder]

Wondering what everyone uses and what you guys are taking with you when you go out just for the day.

It was gorgeous yesterday so I went for a wander and took my new bag along for a spin.

Cook kit, stove, fuel bottle, FAK (not shown), lunch (eaten - spicey noodles mmm, an apple, two kiwis, and a chocolate bar); Bandana, firesteel & striker, folding chopsticks, water purifying tablets, SAK Farmer, folding spork, windshield; Toilet paper, harmonica; Fire tin and Raybans; Pocket reference book on trees; fleece.

Quite impressed even if it does look like an overgrown camera bag. Beats having a sweaty back from a rucksack!

So what does everyone else take with them?

MaxP Jumbo for me too although I sometimes take a Sabre Hydro if I've got the big binos or camera gear with me. I can't be doing with stuff in my pockets so everything goes in a pack apart from a small necker.

Good choices...I sometimes choose the Sitka as an alternative to these two.

All depends what I'm doing. Too many bags... me? Never!

Fits nicely in the top of my rucksack as well !

Personally i dont like the satchel type bags,
i find if i have one large enough for everything i want(note i didnt say need ) i tend to lean to one side and if having a long mooch i get aches from having all the weight on one side.
if having a mooch through the woods i like either a standard canvas haversack or a small army surplus rucksack.

What do you take with you Sam?

water(quite a lot)
brew set
folding saw
id books
maybe some wood carving bits
in honesty its rare i take a day out to bum around the woods tend to go on over nighters more

its mainly a hangover from when i made the mistake of taking an indiana jones style satchel on holiday one time too many.
