    I went with a Twinneedle Mollyme and could fit everything in.
    If Ryan could do it why not and we got a good price on here for the pack.
    With a bit of fine tuning would be good.
    But have gone with a 50 Litre Exped.
    Do not have to try to hard to pack it all in.
    All up with rifle, tucker etc about 20 kg and that is with a Exped Mira 2 tent.
    Use the mollyme as a daypack but is good for an overnighter or two.

    Thanks for taking the time to put that post together mate.

    Any chance you could post a pic of your shortwave radio?

    I’ve been thinking about getting one and yours seems to be pretty light weight. Thanks.

    Hammock gear do a nice quilt as well. If you go the quilt route make sure you get a wide, some are designed for hammocks so are a little narrow for ground sleeping without drafts

    Still waiting Ryan.
    We have got nothing to do so we need to see what you have and maybe google it etc to kill a bit of time or indulge in retail therapy.
