Here we go then, I tell myself I have all I need now but I tell myself the same all the time, there's always new stuff to try! But pretty happy with my general kit, just add food.

Clothing



2x longjohns, one for hunting, one for sleeping

1x Merino top

2x microfleece t shirts

2x spare socks, again one for hunting, one for sleeping

Down Jacket

Beanie

1x spare underwear (don't wear them if I'm wearing longjohns)

Jacket, I take one or the other but lean towards the Swazi Tahr, other is a Kuiu Chugach NX, packs really small and is 100% watertight but I can't tear myself away from the tahr, keeps ya bum warm and dry, and provides warmth and watertight at the same time.

I pack all my clothes into the orange dry bag and I'm usually wearing some rugby shorts and a merino top to start with.



Sleeping



Tent Terra Nova Solar Competition, weighs 1kg, bombproof

Sleeping bag is Macpac Lattitude 500xp which will handle anything, or Aegismax UL bag which weighs bugger all for warmer weather

Exped Airmat UL, weighs about 350gr

Exped Air pillow

Hunting Specific



Rifle Sako 85 finnlight, 270wsm, Swarovski Z5

Binos Swarovski EL 10x42

Rangefinder Leupold rx1200i TBR

Knife Benchmade Steep Country

Watch/gps Garmin Epix with topo maps

El cheapo wind meter

Cheap phone with strelok

Kuiu bino bivvy with rangefinder pouch

3 rounds ammunition (3 in rifle mag)

Rifle weighs 3.1kg ready to go, 3 in the mag



"Bits n Bobs" bag




Toothbrush

Toothpaste (in pill container)

Super glue

Wet wipes

Sunscreen

First aid kit

Boresnake

Jewel stick

Pocket knife

Multitool with correct bits for rifle and scope rings etc

Headtorch

Spare battery for headtorch (not shown, on charge)

Camera and tripod



Camera Samsung WB2200f

Tripod Benro

Cooking



600ml titanium pot

Little titanium stove (aliexpress)

Sea to summit titanium cutlery set

Collapsible cup

Water bladder, I use this mainly just to collect and store water for use at camp and just carry a powerade bottle for drinking on the go

The cup, stove, and a 230gram gas canister all fit inside the pot, I get about 3-4days easy from a 230 gram canister

Other things



PLB (PLB shown but I use an Inreach unit currently on loan to other members)

Sunglasses, spend good money on sunnies, your eyes are important

Gaiters

Possum/merino gloves (not shown) usually keep these handy like in jacket pocket great to throw on when glassing etc)

Pack



Exped lightning 60, weighs under 1.5kg, carries a load well and is surprisingly comfortable for a light pack

Not shown are my boots, La Sportiva Karakorum

Wrote this on my phone so hope it makes sense and is in order. Pack weight is around 9kg with all that stuff (excluding rifle and bino bivvy stuff) then just add food

Dorkus has never been on a week long fly in trip with me before lol

The best thing for me is I'm a skinny light little prick ( so can take more shit in my half of the load ) & I'm not taking a Mutt, so I will be taking heaps of shit as normal.

I've been working full noise trying to get jobs finished before we go, so haven't even started prepping but a few things ( that people often forget ) are

Floss - noting worse than having shit stuck in ya teeth
Nail clippers / file - nothing worse than fuking a nail & it catching on everything
Small tent light - great for reading or just as "mood" lighting
A decent book, a stick mag & a note book ( for writing in & drawing C&B's ) when stuck in ya tent for days on end
Always take two headlamps with plenty of spare batterys
Plenty of tape & rope ( meters of the shit ) and some zip ties
A basic gun kit ( including a rod )
Multi tool


I'll post up a list of my shit one day, when I get time

I must add my list is for a walk in trip, like Philipo I have stick mags and steak and garlic butter and all sorts of shit if flying in

Nail clippers and file, crackup

You've obviously never tried fixing a fuked finger or toe nail with a knife or ya teeth then

A knife is all I use that’s why I laugh

This has been a bloody handy thread actually! I'm also wondering what tents everyone is using?

Do you remember the seller of the titanium cooker Ryan?

Im planning on getting a bore snake for my trip, any particular brand? Trust an ali xpress one?

If I'm flying in I take my Coleman Peak 1 Apex stove though it's bloody awesome way better than any of the modern multifuel stoves you can turn it right down to a simmer no worries and will run on coleman fuel, kerosene, meths, petrol no worries and will even run on diesel if you preheat the little brass block where the fuel flow valve is before lighting it. They are unavailable new now but after getting my first one off trademe a few years ago I needed a part and managed to track down some bloke in the UK that deals in old stoves (eccentric fella!) And he had the part for me and a whole brand new stove and bottle etc still in the box since 1994 so I bought that off him too!

I would hazard a guess at them all being much the same quality wise. They're pretty cheap on trademe so don't know if the aliexpress wait would really be worth the savings
