Great thread! Already got some adjustments to make!
Been slowly working on this, and still think I have a slight issue with just-in-case-itis, but below is for day trips from car or camp. Bush shirt worn or tied around waist. Would have a day pack if on tops.
Bino harness:
- binos
- rangefinder
- plb
- radio (if out with others or I forget to take it off)
- headtorch - USB rechargeable (18650 Ali-express special)
- compass+A4/A5 laminated section of map
- poo tickets
- car key (if leaving from car)
- flint stick/spark machine thing
- bit of polystyrene dissolved in petrol (at the right mix it sets hard, lights easier than rubber, and burns like buggery)
Belt kit (webbing belt and steel buckle that will hopefully not come off in a good tumble)
- Pouch 1 (schnack pouch - enough for a day more than planned)
- emergency jellybeans
- OSM bites
- meusli bars
- Mini chocolate bars (currently on Whittaker's mini slabs)
- homemade scroggin from bulk bins (nuts/dried fruit/choc)
- pillow case meat bags
- Pouch 2
- Rain jacket
- FAK
- back-up head torch (usb rechargable)
- powerbank + cables
- lighter
- poo tickets
- hat/gloves
- Pouch 3 (can take this off if with others or close to camp, but have been carrying it since it's got colder)
- emergency bivi bag
- homemade pikau
- hat/gloves in dry bag (just realised I've doubled upon these)
- icebreaker mid-layer in dry bag
- Knife + steel
FAK:
- emerg foil blanket
- zinc oxide tape
- plasters/gauze/sterile dressings/crepe bandage
- superglue
- tweezers
- ibuprofen + paracetamol
- Levrix antihistamine
- anti-squirts imodium
- salt
- 50+SPF lip stuff.
Bino harness - 3.4kg
(Phot doesn't show compass/map, fire starting stuff, poo tickets, phone)
Belt kit 3.6kg
