Thread: Gear List

My gear is similar to what's been posted, clothes taken just vary between seasons.

I think it's important to actually have your gear list written down so you don't forget anything. I have one for walking around with a pack on & a slightly more expansive one for a fly/drive/boat trip to a base camp.

For say a Haast block trip, we take a couple of large fly's/covers to set up a dry area, fold out camp chair, chilly bin, axe, & better cooking gear (Coleman cooker with 4kg gas bottle, frypan, large Billy's, etc) & gumboots for around camp.

Having used a cz snake as that's what reloaders had when I shot my 308 and then realised that I had nothing to clean it with and a trade me special for my crappy norinco there's hardly any difference.

Camp chair if not listed already?

Love the gear set ups, always looking for new and improved gear

Anyone tied the kuiu gators? My huntech are not far off falling off.

My lists are on excel, you can then save for specific trips, ie walk in trip and fly in trip, summer overnighter etc

I use the highlight function to show what's been packed

Could even list the weights ( on my to do list) of each item for pack weights

I do the same. Usually anyway. Got all confident I knew what I needed to take last so didn't use the list. Left bloody tent pegs at home. Annoying

I would get the Swazi aligators, they're super light and very tough

get a plastic coated wire with a pull through, a bore snake with grit it in it is like a file at the muzzle

Huntech
Yes best Gaiters ever and still - but mine are totally munted now (bought 2001) - just wish I could rebuy a pair everthing else has no comparism
But I not tried Swazi Alergators - any good chaps ??

Pocket Set

This is what you want.... tiny and work really well, just add whatever size felts you need.

@Ryan_Songhurst are those wet wipes the flushable kind biodegradable? I've been looking for some that are. Sick of lugging them in and out. Don't want the place to end up look like a freedom campers spot

@Sarvo I've thought about sending my old pair of to Swazi to see if the could make something similar. Year bloody love my old Huntech managed to get a second set of zips and domes put in by a saddle maker, which has given them a few more years

no theyre not so any used for #2's I just burn but if just used for cleaning face etc pack them out, found biodegradable ones but only in large packs

Burn thanks I'll take the lighter next time should have thought of that

Looks good dorkus , I don't think you will squeeze it all into a 50 litre though . I would guess that lot would way around the 30 kg mark. Maybe a spotting scope and a wide brimmed hat, also something to carry a reasonable amount of water can save a lot of walking if its dry up there . Also a cloth tape for measuring the humongos set of antlers/horns you guys shoot. and a pair of camp jandals maybe. sounds like a great trip.
I guess the gear list changes a fair bit from a walk in trip to a chopper trip . Ive found I have had to trim down a lot of gear to keep around 25 kg for a 10 day walk in trip.
