Thread: Gear for a few days.

Just packed up all my gear last night and weighed it for 10-11 days in Fiordland.

The only thing that really changes from my 2-3 day trips is obviously extra food, gas, extra set of clothes, a fly and my heavier two man tent instead of my single lightweight.

Total pack weight with all of my food for 10 days plus some extra rations just in case is 20.5kgs.

Other stuff I carry;

Rifle is 4kgs loaded

Boots 2kgs

Clothes I'm wearing 3.5kgs

Binos ~1kg

So based on that, fully kitted and self sufficient for 10-11 days I'm wearing and carrying ~ 31kgs.



Foods all broken down into daily packs. I try to keep daily rations around 5-700gms per day.

Breakfasts;

Muesli/nutrigrain premixed with milk powder, sugar and a scoop of protein powder.

Tea or hot choc.

Lunch/day tucker;

2 muesli bars
1 large Moro or snickers
1 pita bread with jam/peanut butter
4 vita wheat crackers w 2 slices of cheese and salami
3 heards lollies
1 vita sport mix

Couple hand fulls of scroggin/seeds/cranberries/choc chips/etc

Dinner;

Freeze dry meal single serve
Throw in some dried veges
A cup of soup
Tea or hot chocolate

I always carry an apple for every 2nd day, a spare few muesli bars and heards barley sugars and 2 freeze dry meals/desserts.

Seems to work for me.
