Thread: Minimum pack contents

Ha ha, I read Tahr and BarrytheHunter's posts fully aware I carry too much and feeling utterly ashamed, so instantly resolved to cull a lot of shit... but then read Ranger888's post - especially the live alone bit, and the "oh yeah but what if's" started rolling back in... I will be forever haunted by @57jl's tale of woe recently (thank you for sharing that mate, you're my bloody hero! I hope you are recovering well!).

I used to carry a lot less when I was younger, fitter, and stupider, but I'm still relearning after 15 years off, and don't get out often enough to yet have the confidence to leave shit behind. Kit has got smaller and lighter - carrying it isn't a burden, so why not. Lastly, I know I'm brainless enough that if I take stuff out for one trip, I am guaranteed to forget to put it back in when I need it.

I massively admire the seasoned minimalists, but I guess we each carry what we're confident in carrying. If I fuck myself up, I'll either be relatively comfy, or won't need any of it.

Still bloody interesting to see what others carry, keep it coming!
