    • Baggie of cotton balls
    • Baggie of birch bark
  • Front pocket:
    • 1000/6000 grit combination stone and nagura stone (not got anything smaller)
    • Folding spade (normally wouldn’t bring this but will be trying a dakota fire hole)
  • Main chamber:
    • Section of foam camp mat to act as a seat
    • 2 days of clothes, swim shorts, some sort of acrylic beanie style hat, boonie hat
    • Caldera cone cooking system
    • MSR Titan Titanium 900ml pot with Culinary Upgrade Bag and utensils
    • Folding saw
    • Hygiene kit:
      • Toothbrush and toothpaste
      • Soap
      • Shampoo
      • Towel
      • Loo Roll
    • UK Army sleeping bag and DD Hammocks silk liner
    • Tarp for poncho floor
    • Poncho and ties
    • Possibles Pouch (will also go over this later)
    • First aid kit
    • Inflatable pillow
    • Food (cans, clif bars, trail mix)

Between the lid and main compartment is my self inflating roll mat. External to the pack is my french army 2 man tent which is far too heavy. Unfortunatly my Kifaru Paratarp won’t have arrived by the time of the meet. When it does finally come, the heavy (5.2kg, 11.4lbs) canvas will be replaced with 11 grams of silnylon (yay!). I’m bringing both the tent and my poncho so I can experiment with the poncho while having a known adequate shelter. Lashed through the tiny amount of webbing is my trainers so I can go for a run while at the site.

      Folding titanium spork, soap bar I liberated from a hotel, random packets of sugar, salt and vinegar taken from fast food places. Did have a wee tub of barbeque sauce but that was added to a tin of chick pea masala in a failed attempt to improve the flavour.

      The original idea was a box that had sauces and suchlike to upgrade the eating experience in the wild. I decided to use a bag and put it in my MSR pot to use up the empty space.
