First what kind of hiking pack, it's a bit overkill for one day, to little on clothing, sleeping bag, etc for overnighters.
As was in my post, it's a Karrimor Sabre 30l backpack and food/clothing is added as I need to. I'm not planning on spending the night, so no sleeping bag, allthough I do have a heatsheet-bivvy, poncho,hammock and hd- space-blanket to make a shelter.
you have ORS listed twice
That's right, 2 sachets in the food-kit, 2 in the FAK.
You got antibiotic ointment pack, betadine, alcohol swaps and betadine pads
I have my FAK in a pouch that fits nicely in the backpack, so why not, allthough it's a little redundant.
You really need two sets of batteries for you headlight? It should work a full week easily on one set alone. (one extra is gooed, but twice?)
Listed this wrong: 1 headlamp with batteries and a extra set.
whats with all the light sticks?
3 of everything (in a triangle ) is the emergency signal, so I can still make only 2 signals with my light-sticks.
campheat and a esbit stove?
Will remove camp-heat.
Looking at you cooking power and kit and the coups and tea, are you sure? Not going to work without a windscreen and something beter dan a army cup or mess tin.
That's what the hd Aluminium foil is for... And under normal contitions, I won't be cooking anyway. Know it sounds strange..
10 meter paracord, 3 meter paracord?
Actually, it's 30m. paracord. I don't want to cut up my 30m. piece if I only need 1meter, so that's when I use the 3m. piece.
You got safetypins in FAK already, you really need them in you pounch too?
They take up no space at all, and prevent turning on the illuminated tweezers in the FAK.
Ever lost 8 buttons at one time?
Once again, they take up no space what so ever.
A leatherman on you belt, will be very uncomfortable to carry, if you use the hip straps. Considering the load, i would use the hip straps...
I don't like the hip-straps and never use them, if I did, you would be right.
Thank you for your suggestions!
