Load Carrying
Lowe Alpine Sting in Olive Drab – IMHO this is the best rucksack ever made, I find it really comfy even if it is a little heavy. I have the 2 side pockets as well which give me an extra 20 liters capacity.
Shelter
Hennessy Expedition Asym Classic – This is a great hammock and tarp in one. I have had it modded to have a full zip added around the bug net so I can have the best of both worlds with it, bottom and top opening. It also uses the quick set up technique using rap rings, got this idea from Trekkingnut.
DD 3×3 Tarp – For a longer camp when more shelter would be required I use a DD Hammocks 3×3 tarp. I have put in the bag with it 10m of para cord and with 2 Nite Ize Figure 9 which are used to tie up the cord quickly.
Sleeping
Which sleeping bag I take depends on the weather and conditions. I have a choice of 3:
Vango Viper 1000, British Army Arctic, British Army Jungle. In addition to the sleeping bag I use either a underquilt (like a sleeping bag but hangs outside the hammock) or a thermarest camping mat.
Cooking and fire
Honey Stove – Nice little stove that packs down flat but it can be a bit fiddly to assemble and you do get a bit dirty from handling it.
Exotac Nano Striker – My review in a previous post.
Bic Lighter – Nothing else to say about this, we all know what it is.
Bic Lighter – Nothing else to say about this, we all know what it is.
Zebra 10 cm billy – I have modded mine and revmoved the bail arm and replaced it with a section of bike brake cable. This allows it to hang better over the fire.
Sea to Summit AlphaLight Long Handled Spoon – With this I can reach the bottom of rat pack pouches
Helikon Thermal Cup – Nice little thermal cup with a lid, this just fits inside the billy.
Source 3L widepac – I don’t normal have this full but figured its better to be able to carry more water if required then not. As I carry my water in I don’t currently have any method to filter it.
Knives, axes and saws
Mora Clipper – Cheap and cheerful bushcraft knife, cannot go wrong with one of these.
Bahco Laplander Saw – Good folding saw, makes short work of cutting wood
Gransfor Bruks Small Forest Axe – Not to big and not to smal, just right. I don’t always take this with me only If I know there is quite a bit of wood to to chop, other wise I make due with the Mora and Bahco.
Misc
First Aid Kit – This kind of goes with out saying. Pretty standard kit, but have added a tick removal tool, paracetamol, ibuprofen and a compression bandage. The last one because if your using an axe and it goes wrong, it can go wrong in big way.
Alpkit Gamma Head torch – Nice torch with high and low beams and also red and green light. Runs off 3 AAA batteries.
UCO 9 Hour Candle Lantern – This adds a nice bit of light with out blinding you like a torch can.
This list is not definitive and changes depending on where, when and how I’m going camping. I have not added food and drink as again this changes all the time.
