All packed up for the imminent R4nger5 invasion of London to meet up with Avagdu. Squeezed a bunch of stuff into my 5.11 Rush 24 (proably too much thanks to the huge sleeping bag).

Front Left flap pouch:

  • Nikon Coolpix S220 digital camera

Front Right flap pouch:

  • Microfibre cloth
  • Buff
  • Grimloc carabiner on outside with boonie attached

Bottom front compartment:

  • Notebook
  • Nature and Walking by Emerson and Thoreau
  • Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski
  • R4nger5 Campaign Log 1 (may donate it to the 56a Infoshop)
  • Pens, pencil and permanent marker
  • Paracord on a carabiner
  • Map of central London (which will be replaced with a proper one)
  • Hair brush with hair ties
  • Tissues

Strapped to the bottom is my self inflating mat. Top zip pouch has my sunglasses.

Main compartment

  • Hygiene kit
  • Towel
  • British Army sleeping bag (which is far too heavy and bulky) Poncho liner (aka ranger blanket) and another synthetic blanket
  • 2 changes of clothes (including Rant 10th anniversary shirt)
  • EeePC and charger
  • Crappy inflatable pillow
  • Avagdu’s goodie bag

Whole lot is fairly heavy (22.4 pounds, less now that the sleeping bag has been removed), hopefully I won’t have to carry it around for long. Will be dumping the main compartment contents at Sloe’s place where we are crashing for the event. Grabbing the 9.55 am National Express train to London King’s Cross, arriving at about 15:50 if all goes to plan. Meeting with Avagdu the next day and then home the day after that. Repeat in August. Gonna be an accomplished nomad one of these years.
