I struggle with this one. My water weighs 3kg, food another kg, knife 700g, PLB 300g, sleeping bag 1lkg. You get the picture.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

Surely you’re taking the piss ? Why carry water at all when the back country’s full of it.

10kg sounds incredibly light. How is that possible? My overnight hunt is usually 18kg if staying in a hut or 22kg if staying in a tent.

I will write a gear list of what I take. If your packs that heavy there’s a lot of unnecessary gear in it.
