POST YOUR GEAR LOADOUT

>>665724
Where's all your food?

>no food
>can't check the catalog
>is a faggot


You're screwed.

>>665741
Please point me to the thread. All I saw was bugout, which is different than camping.

>>665738
I always purchase food shortly before camping. No need to have it a month and a half in advance.

>>665745

>>645887

>>665806
I saw that, and figured it was for new items of gear as there is no discussion or posts about current loadouts.

Besides no food it looks like a solid load out. Of course using a hammock would cut your weight drastically and free up tons of space in your pack for more/better food. Do you clip the tent on the outside or is it kept in your bag? Ever since I got a hammock I can't imagine going back to lugging a tent around.

>>665817
It's a two person so the weight would be split with my buddy. The food that I do have consists of a 2 pound bag of rice, mountain house food, dried fruits/nuts. Obviously I'll be packing more closer to the date.

I've thought about a hammock and I'll probably end up buying one this summer.

>>665741
Oh leave him alone. /out/ is the slowest board

What are you planning to cut wood with, /k/ommando?

and all of my food. Next time I do a longer trip like this i'm definitely going to need to re think my food. It is bulky as fuck and i'm sure there is a lot of weight in just packaging. The freeze dried shit is convenient but not the best when there is a lot of it trying to be packed in a small space....

>>666162
Like the rat packs. Any chance of some menus?
I assume the numbers at bottom are calories?
And do you just do these as trips are planned or buy supplies when on special and make them up as ingredients allow?

>>665724
Is that a thigh rig? Confirmed faggot. If your planning to do a lot of walking/hiking thigh rigs suck ass

>>665724
Unless you have some specific reason for needing them, I'd get rid of the extra stove, knife, pot, flashlight, paracord, and pistol.

I'd also get rid of all the fire starting stuff except the lighter.

>>665724
All of this literally looks brand new. Is it?

>>665724
Where is your sleeping bag?

>>665724
>no snow shoes
I would check the conditions again.

>>666161
>>666162
Have a nice and fun trip, anon.

>>665724
I'd go ahead and pack a FULL roll of TP but that's just my personal prefs...

All packed up for this weekend's /out/ing if thread is still up when I get home from work I may take a pic when packing it up for real.

>>666096
Deadfall, or meme baton. I should get a hand saw or hatchet though.

>>666256
I thought thigh rigs helped with support since it takes weight off your back?

>>666268
Yeah, majority of it has replaced my former equipment and hasn't been used yet. I have been planning a trip since I last went a year ago and have been slowly phasing out old stuff with newer equiptment.

>>666300
Just have two fleece blankets, which will be replaced by a sleeping bag. No worries m8

>>666301
Planning in going early March, so hopefully weather calms down by then. If not, adjustments will be made. Any recommendations in snow boots?

>>666315
True.. Who knows when the shits come about

>>666262
I could do without the flashlight and pistol, you're right. I figure the paracord will be good to hang my good and other general uses, and I always like to have multiple ways if firestarting. Could probably just use one know too

>>666162
>>666252

Agreed. Mind giving us an idea of what's typically in each?

>>665724
>Glowstick
Why? Isn't a regular frontal better?
Glorious sleep pad is glorious.
Where is your food?

I think you should get a real sleeping bag and you don't need the thermos and a cook kit so important.

>>665724
First legit load out I've seen on /out/. Good job op. I'd personally take a glock but that's not a big deal.

>>666397
>glowsticks
Following hiking buddies in the dark, setting up a designated shit area, landmark, hang in tent for light, etc. Not necessary at all, but it weighs nothing.

Food is bought before trip.

>>666398
Lol, thanks

Like i said, this is my first time packing food for that long so it's not perfect but here's what i packed for a typical day:

Mountain House Breakfast Skillet (most calorie dense freeze dried breakfast) - 960 kcal
Pack of Almond MMs - 400 kcal
Raw trail mix 3 oz - 400 kcal
Pro Bar Meal (these things are awesome, perfect backpacking food) - 360 kcal
Fluid Electrolyte Drink Mix - 100 kcal
Clif Shot Energy Gel - 100 kcal
Mountain House Chicken and Rice Diner - 540 kcal
Coffee - 0 kcal

That was pretty much what made up the minimum for each day, right around 2800 calories. Then I'd adjust up and down from there depending on activity level for the day. On my longer days I added something for variety like jerky, another gel, and like a fiber / protein bar and maybe a dessert treat like some cookies to get the calorie count up to 3500 or 4000.

>>666162
if I knew I'd be eating the freeze dried food soon, I like to dump the contents into a plastic bag (ziplock or others). then a plastic container, like a peanut butter jar or tupperware can be used to rehydrate the meals.

some people will repackage the food into thick freezer bags and rehydrate directly into those.

if you don't want to repack, simple pinhole in each package to let out the air, and then resealed with tape helps a bit too.

oh, and don't forget to trim the corners of the mountainhouse packs, or they can puncture nearby bags.

happy trails, and hope you can share photos with us

I tried posting mine a few days ago, but no replies. Currently looking for a new backpack and the Falcon 3 is looking like my main suspect but I want to do more research before I put money down.

>>666522
yeah, i thought about most of those options. definitely did trim the corners though! only reason i opted to not empty out the freeze dried packs is that we'll actually be cruising around puerto natales and punta arenas for a while before going into TDP and i was worried the meals might get ruined by moisture from not being sealed.

After this trip I will be starting to make my own "freeze dried" meals so that they will be a bit more portable.

Thank you for the warm wishes, and I will absolutely post pictures!

>>666527
Pretty sure I've seen you post this before and responded. You should replace some of that SS with plastic water bottles.

Also don't know where you live, but you'll probably want a sleeping bag and sleeping pad/quilt.

Of course, on top of this, I _might_ bring my kindle, some liqour, perhaps (Oooh, I'm crazy, Esse) some weed and a small pipe, etc.

BTW I'm in Norway(!), and this loadout is fine in January. Guess you guys didn't know that, right? I'm located in the South-West (Stavanger/Sandnes, et.al), where we just DON'T have snow or negative degrees celsius, even in mid-winter (well, maybe we have a week in a particularly cold winter).

IF very cold (travel inland and higher elevations), see next posts...

>>666588
Impressive, I'd imagined you'd need more than a tarp tent and a quilt to be comfortable during winter in Norway.

I really hope that's a stock image.

Why would you have all this gear you spent a ton on, and don't use? I have dark colored sacs and bags and mine are dirty as hell. Can't imagine what they'd look like white.

>>666829
>>666835

You guys realize those are just storage bags so the down doesn't break down right? Compressed they'd all fit into the mont bell's storage sack. As to why I have so many, different tools for different jobs. Winter bag, summer quilt, inbetween bag (use it more than anything), then a winter top quilt and bottom quilt for hamocking, they all get a lot of use just depends on the season

Have you ever done a 7-10 day trek with a 48L pack before?

If not I'd recommend getting a bigger pack. Unless you're a seasoned ultralite packer 48L is good for 4 maybe 5 days tops.

noticed an apparent discrepancy in your caloric ratings... you list Breakfast Skillet as having either 800 calories (on the packing list
) or 960,000 calories (in the text) but my packages show it only having 400 calories.

btw kcal = 1000 calories

>>667473
I must've looked at the mac n cheese one by accident for the 960. but they are 800 (two servings at 400 ea)

and btw... the things we normally refer to as calories are in fact Calories with a capital C. 1 Calorie = 1 kcal = 1000 gram calories. We do not use gram calories. So my statements were correct.

>>667479
so, you're using the 2 serving packs... The single serving ones always leave me a little hungry but the price on the double sized ones is entirely more than I want to pay for one meal.


jeez... I didn't know that the calorie rating on nutrition labels was in kcals. I'd heard of kilocalories but I assumed it was akin to the Kelvin temperature scale - to make the math easier when dealing with large amounts.

How does /out/ feel about Sierra Madre products?

>>667557
You mean High Sierra?

>>667565
>High Sierra

Nope. Sierra Madre Research.

>>667568
First I've heard of them. Seem to make decent hammocks going by reviews. I'm a tent guy mostly since I'm often above treeline, so I'd probably get el cheapo hammock at http://hobohammocks.com

>>667551
The Kelvin scale has nothing to do with that.

>>667551
Yeah using the two serving packs. I think the single ones would be ok if you were doing one for lunch too, but i'm just doing snacks and trail mix. But check amazon. Mountain house sells these "Just in Case" buckets that get the cost down to around $5 a pouch. Not cheap but definitely cheaper than retail.

As far as the calorie thing, I'm not really sure why they do it like that, especially since the Calorie is not even the SI unit for energy. My guess would be that since they presumably use a calorimeter to determine energy content of food, which measures how much something can heat a given mass of water, and the definition of a Calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kg of water by 1 degree C, they just keep it the same for simplicities sake, instead of using joules or kilojoules.

Or it's just the US and parts of Europe just doing whatever they want with units like we usually do.

>Planning in going early March, so hopefully weather calms down by then. If not, adjustments will be made. Any recommendations in snow boots?
Yeah. Put snowshoes under them. There is a seven foot base of snow on the summits out here. There will be snow in March.

This is interesting, do you know is VAT charged on top of the price+shipping?

>>666601
Also, I'm curious as to why you'd recommend going to higher elevations there if you're already cold. Is there some strange micro-climate, because generally higher elevation means colder temperatures?

>>667756
>is VAT charged on top of the price+shipping?
Well, only on import to your country, and, in Norway, only if above 350,- including shipping

>>665724
You have a few repetetive items you can easily ditch. But you have all the necessaries, looks good!

Only need one compass,

Only need one stove

Bring the Deet or the Bug repellent Bracelets, don't need both.This time or year you don't need either, but in general you just need one.

Only need one pot

Only need one plate, not a bowl and a plate

Only need one light source for a few nights. If you're going for a week+, bring two, but just pack some extra batteries.

Those things may sound small, but it adds up in weight, and just in general clutter. Clutter is the main annoyance for me.

>>667776
Also I bet you'll want warmer sleeping arrangement. It's cold right now man, don't be someone who dies that people hear about and say "idiot should have checked the weather."

Also I think you are really going to regret walking around with a gun hanging off your hip. Highly uncomfortable for long hikes, and you'll freak anyone you meet the fuck out.

But I understand that some people just want a gun in the woods, so you do you.

>>666573
Holy shit, thats a lot of high quality gear you got! I have a 30f enlightened equpiment down quilt, fucking love those things.

The only thing I would say is be careful about only bringing a 50F quilt if it's at all cold. people gernally rate bags 5-10F higher (weaker) than they are sold at, and 50-60F is very warm.

But if you have used it a lot and know it's limits, do yo' thang.

Haven't used it yet, they're sowing it now, I hope... But I only intend to use it in mid summer, and with the option of putting every single item of clothing on inside it. Also, in summer, worst case scenario is a bad nights sleep, keeping a stove or a fire going, or having to do some jumping jacks in the middle of the night.

Need to update but more or less the same stuff.

My new sleeping pad is a 3/4 Z-lite.
The green REI bag used to be my Sawyer Mini, but now I carry Aquamira.

Usual stuff:
-Osprey Talon 44
-Western Mountaineering Summerlite (black stuff sack)
-Eureka! Spitfire 1 (blue stuff sack)
-MSR groundhogs (6 stakes)
-Thermarest Z-lite (3/4)
-Fancy Feast stove w/ HEET
-Snow Peak 700
-Windscreen w/ pot stand
-Black Diamond Spot
-Aquamira
-Osprey 3L OR two 1L Evian bottles
-Sea to Summit towel (my backcountry do everything rag)

>>667694
Sweet. Thanks for the heads up mayne!

>>667776
Yeah, the spare compass would be going to my partner, and the only stove I have is the swiss volcano. The hobo stove literally weighs nothing and is a pretty sure fire way being able to cook I think.

You're right about the bug repellent.. And at this time it's not needed. They're just options I threw in.
>need only one pot
Agreed. I took the smaller one out oer others recommendations.

>one plate

I'll be using the pot lid as a plate

>one light source
Yeah, that was pretty redundant. I'll toss the maglite

>>667779
I just bought a Kelty Ignite dridown 16 last night for like $144 off REI. Didn't wanna freeze to death, lol.

I think that'll be a decent bag..

>>667820
I'm sure taking a living cat with you is not necessary.
Transport living meat is never a good idea. There are different ways to preserve it, smoking, drying, ... You should kill it before you go hiking an prepare it at home. Believe me, it's way more easy.
By taking the cat alive, you may lose it or attract predators.

>>667641

Here's what I take on 2-4 day trips, with room to spare.

Backpack: Greggory Baltoro 65L+ (tall size)
Tent: Ereka Midori 2, with a 6x8' lightweight tarp as a footprint/tarp coverage for camp.
Sleeping Bag (green compression sack): Kelty cosmic 40 down mummy sleeping bag, long size. Used with a sea to summit silk liner, and sea to summit inflatable pillow (both in orange stuffsach, which also goes into my green stuffsack with the kelty)
Sleeping Pad (black stuffsack): Exped ultralight 7 down inflatible sleeping pad (long)

Cooking system,
Utility gloves,
50 ft reflective rope
lantern torch, and headlamp
toilet paper
3L hydration bladder
med kit (the one with the /out/ patch)
BK16 knife (with torch lighter and leatherman style cs in the pocket)
compass
folding saw
poo shovel
sawyer mini and 1L platty bottle
20 ft twine and two clothes pins
sham wow microfiber cloth
emergency blanket
tent/ sleeping pad repair kit with extra batteries, sharpie, duct tape
dry sack
plastic grocery bag for garbage of if I'm packing out my own poo
Designated wide mouth collapsible nalgene bottle for peeing without having to get out of the tent at night.
Toiletries
Deck of cards
rain cover for pack
under armor speed freek boots (very water proof, and very light)

everything goes into a sack. fully loaded, there is plenty of room to spare in my pack with nothing on the outside.

Criticism and questions are welcome.

>>668144
How do you like the sea to summit pillow? I was looking at it since it packs so small but I don't know if I'd find an air pillow comfortable. May just get a bulkier compression pillow

>>668106
use to always be a thicker is better kinda guy wearing mostly heavy weight wool. now my usuals are Smartwool PhD midweight hiking socks. They're fantastic.

>>668219
Its pretty great. It takes up practically no room. (I keep it in a sack with my liner, in the case that my liner is for)

I usually keep it 85% inflated, because I like to put an arm under it. I sleep with a million pillows at home, so I usually need at least 2 things while /out/, and end up putting my clothing bag between my knees.

I'm glad I have one, but it was a gift, and don't know if I'd ever pay the $40 they want for it in REI...

>>668144
>65L for 2 days
Room to spare indeed. Don't compress your bag, it use it.
I see a lot of items that you don't need, like the gloves, the big repair kit, the designated bottle.

Each on its own, sure, but for instance, your first aid kit should probably be lighter.

>>667793
> sewing it now

You are in front of my 10*F Revelation! Ordered it last week, 6 week lead time.

>>668239
I'm not trying to be UL at all. I'm not a through hiker, and usually go for great views that are multi-day trips. This stuff is acquired over years, and i believe it's all solid stuff. I know a lot of things I bring aren't usually needed, but for overnighters i always go with 1-3 more people, and I'm the most experienced, and often have to loan out pieces of my gear. With multiple campers, you also go through 4 times as many tears, cuts, scrapes, or forgotten supplies. Adding an extra 2 lbs to my pack in order to provide for my friends and family is not something I second guess myself on.

Pee bottle I've found is the most weight efficient pieces in my kit. I often camp when it's cold, and I often have to pee 1-2 times a night. I've filled that sucker up before, and it's 1.5 liters.

I don't compress my sleeping bag until i'm actually going. It has tons of room to breathe in its sack. I only compressed it for the picture. It still has room to compress when fully deployed. I need a smaller one.


On the rare occasion I do a solo trip, I generally dump all the creature comforts, and don't bring extra clothes. Sometimes I'll bring my rifle, or harmonica, but I only usually do 1 of those a year.

Everyone does /out/ their own way. How do you do it?

Lol.

Looks like he's got an excellent alcohol stove and at ~5min/oz that fuel bottle will last for weeks' worth of food, especially if he's using instant or precooked rice.

>>667613
I've always kind of wondered... since the calories aren't being burned and we are not calorimeters, do the calories as food relate directly to the calories as combustible fuel? Does 100 calories of carbohydrates or protein provide the same amount of energy as 100 calories of fat? And even if so, doesn't calories from carbs and protein require calories to be used to convert and utilize said calories as opposed to fat which (to my understanding) provides a more direct food source for the body?

I find it hard to believe that a Twinkie and a cut of beef that burn equally hot are provide the same energy through digestion.

>>668352
Short answer is a calorie is a calorie. You need so many of them to survive. We're capable of "surviving" on only fast food and becoming ridiculously obese.

The long answer is for total health, and yes, the calories matter, and effect you different. A lot of hikers do a high carb, low calorie breakfast, like oatmeal or trail mix. And eat a high fat high protein meal for dinner, snacking on whatever in between. This is also what works best for me. And gives me a lot more to look forward to at the end of a long day.

Youll know what your body runs best off very soon if you don't already. Your regular health has a lot to do with it. Hiking is basically extreme cardio at intermittent levels of difficulty, without the option to just get off when you want to.

You shouldn't be attempting a 5+ day trip without being confident in your skills and endurance. It's less applicable on a through hike, because you will have the opportunity to make up for lost time/distance, months down the road.

>so i'll just make some mud and spray it over this shit before i upload a photo.

>>668396
Fishing rod is a telescopic one I got for nothing off a guy. Has never failed me in six years . Lures all depends on where I am going. But I have always used worms or mackerel as bait becaue they are so abundant where I go.
The folding saw I got in an aldi store four years ago for seven euro and it has always worked fine. I bought it saying I'll see how long it lasts for only seven bucks and the damn thing has held up this long so it's value for money.
The whet stone was my dad's , he had a box with about eight in it and I have gone through two of them , they came from a butchers supply company in the 1970's (receipt still in the box )
The poncho was my army issue one. Nearly all my gear is stuff I was issued in the army , cost me nothing , not the fanciest but it gets the job done

>>665724

Haha, funny... But no. It is all pretty much new, but that's because I've been trying to replace all my other stuff since last summer along with buying things I needed to add for the next venture.

So yeah, most of it is brand spankin new.. But not for the reasons you think

>>668568
I've only slept in it a couple times, but from what I experienced its pretty solid. Kept the rain out just fine and sets up fast. Only issue is securing the rainfly so that it's even on both sides

Wth bro...

Drop these following:

Axe
Earpro
Glock
1 pair gloves
Saw
Binoculars
Extra LED flashlight
Southard (there are much more appropriate knives)
Lantern

That stuff is not needed. If you must chop or saw wood then use a wire/hand saw or hatchet. Earpro is not needed, especially in an open area using a .22. I bet you've never used the binoculars, and you don't need an extra flashlight if you're also using a headlamp.

>>669813

>Camp the way I camp, anon!

The loadout I have set up is to have the supplies I need and the supplies my friends most often forget.

>Axe
No.

>Earpro
>Glock

No, I shoot in the woods. Also, if you've never walked around the woods with electronic earmuffs on, you're missing out.

>1 pair gloves

In summer/spring, I only have the mechanix, in winter, I bring my gloves for warmth and my gloves for work. No use wearing gloves out needlessly when the liner and shell weigh a quarter ounce collectively.

>Saw

No.

>Binoculars.

I like to look at shit from afar. What's your problem?

>Extra LED flashlight

You got me here sort of. I lost my streamlight though and I don't trust these two. They're gas station specials.

>Southard

It's my EDC blade. What's wrong wif it, M8?

>Lantern

It's tiny and harmless. Whatchu got aginst lanterns, bruv?

>>666262

>I'd also get rid of all the fire starting stuff except the lighter

Good luck starting a fire when your one and only source gets a wet flint...

>>669963
I just protect my gear that isn't supposed to get wet from water. Do you carry multiple sleeping bags as well in case 1 gets wet?

>>669966

No need to be pedantic, chief.

Ask anybody who ask actually been /out/ and I guarantee if they know what they are doing they will have more than one source to light a fire, especially if it's a shit lighter.

All I'm saying is good luck getting a fire going in strong winds and pissing rain if all you have is a cheap lighter with a shit flame.

>>669880
>The loadout I have set up is to have the supplies I need and the supplies my friends most often forget.
Get better friends.
>Axe
>Saw
You building a shelter? Chopping up logs for your 3 day fire? Most /out/ places wont allow you to chop shit down anyways. The saw is redundant as well. You can save like 7 pounds by dropping both of those and getting something more size efficient.

>binoculars
Cant imagine you seeing very far with those

>Southard
I have one.. there are far better /out/ options.

>lantern
You like extra weight,huh?

You do you anon, but that shits redundant and weighty.

>>669995

Matter of fact I am building a shelter. Right now it's the /out/ skill I'm trying to get better at, so when I go /out/ I practice it. After this it's gonna be snares and cordage, and then it's gonna be edible plants and fungi.

>Saw/Axe
The saw is essential for snow camping. Finding deadwood that soaked through is no good, so I saw off the tips so that it can stand on its own and split it with the forest axe. Wire saws are prone to break and difficult to maneuver and overall just use more calories because the task takes longer. The axe comes in clutch for snow camping too, because I don't want to baton at extremely cold temps and break my bk9. Big knife produces big strips of tinder.

Using the right tool for the job saves energy and is safer. In all the saw, knife and axe weigh about 4.5 lbs and save me a fuck ton of trouble.

>binoculars
The binocs are actually pretty good for a D&B prize.

>southard

what's a better folder for /out/. open to suggestions.

>lantern

Give it a rest, m8. I like a bit of ambient light whilst I'm cooking. Pic related. It's the fuckhueg lantern you're always on about.

A lightweight (often titanium) shovel that is used to dig a hole for you to poop in. Popular among thru hikers and other long distance hikers. Digging a hole is a simple and clean solution for pooping in the outdoors. Minimal cleanup and as close to Leave No Trace as you can get.

Did I miss your sleeping bag in the gear list? Also, bring a dedicated knife and maybe drop the multitool. I have a leatherman wave and its awesome but I haven't found much use for it in the woods. Looks bretty gud tho.. add some insect repellent if applicable and a firestarting kit. Youre also lacking a compass/map.

Looks pretty solid though

>>670416

Yeah forgot the bag.

Kelty Cosmic Down 40 degrees

Thanks for the advice.

I bring my cheap 2 person tent, a bunch of food, a cast iron pan, Firestarter shit, and my 30° sleeping bag. And a fuck huge knife and hatchet. I can spend up to a week with just that as long as I bring enough food. Sometimes I even bring my silent pellet gun and take n cook small game, mostly just rabbits and dove

The ultralight shit doesn't do it for me. I like to eat lots of food. Real food. You guys are so silly with your hardtack and first aid kits and 500 dollar tents.

>>670418

Says the guy whose never stayed /out/ for more than a night, let alone seen a mountain.

>>666527
>>666533

IIRC he lives in Florida where it is darn near always warm and doesn't need a bag to sleep. I think he should keep the SS because he cooks in it as well, it is dual purpose. Last thread I saw, the ss vs plastic weight was compared and it wasn't enough to include a cooking pot, even Ti. Plus metal rocks.

I've read accounts of the rubber bottoms on the yaktrax breaking after just a day on the trail. I use kahtoola microspikes and they've been dependable over the last 2 hiking seasons.

>>671636
they do seem flimsy. im usually careful on which parts of my shoe sole the rubber stretches over (for example put the band between two lugs as it stretches to bottom of foot). Those microspikes look like they work good

>>671636
I think it's just people using them wrong, personally.

I've had the same pair of yaktrax for 3 years, and I use them when I'm walking my dog twice a day on sidewalks. That's what that spiral stel structure is great for, getting grip on concrete without going dull like spikes would.

I use them on icy hard-packed hiking trails every now and then, but mostly I have snowshoes when I'm going /out/.

Yaktrax aren't meant to be replacements for crampons that's for sure.

Its nice, my favorite part is how slim it is. The 40 is very snappy, if i could go back i would have gotten 9mm. Trigger is gritty at first but breaks in nice. The talon grips help a great deal. Its easy to clean too

>>672670
Actually, as >>672676 says, they are both good manufacturers, but I would actually recommend Bergans for almost everything (perhaps except Norronas top line of shell pants and jackets, which are world class level, only matched by Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Marmot etc.)

Norrona has become leading in Urban and Afterski, bling, look-at-me-my-jacket-and-kit-is-ridiculously-expensive-omg-im-so-awesome-please-fuck-me-im-so-lonely-market.

Bergans make kit for REAL expeditions and REAL winter hiking, and not only fashion statements.

Helsport have some of the best and toughest tents in the world, and are on a par with Hilleberg -- though not as ridiculously expensive. Check out helsport.no/outlet, where they sell tents that have been photographed indoors ("not new" in Helsport-speak) for really low prices. Check especially out the "Fjellheimen" series: Bombproof tunnels in different sizes and weights.

Why in the world do you need 50 zip ties, 5 shitty carabiners, and electrical tape?

>>669970

He's right, you should carry at LEAST two separate fire starting items, ideally in separate pockets. This is standard practice.

>>670035
If you like bringing the saw and axe, you do you. But, I just went winter camping earlier this week in VT on the AT and was easily able to gather more than enough standing dead wood for my fire with no saw, or axe.

It sounds like you are doing some more bushcrafty things, and probably just like sawing and splitting wood and that's cool. I always light fires with a ferro rod and feather sticks, but saying a saw is essential for snow camping is a bit melodramatic. just say you want to take it cause its awesome.

>>670408
Fire starting kit (just matches and a bic lighter) and a compass and a map are missing. Otherwise it looks great.

I wouldnt sweat getting a fixed blade knife. They are really popular on /out/ but are not necessary. The multitool will do you fine for snipping thread, bending poles back into shape, etc.

Happy Trails!

I know all that. What I was saying is that calories are measured via combustion, which isn't how the human body processes them. We have no way of knowing the actual amount of energy a calorie provides a person, because the only way we've ever measured it is by lighting it on fire and seeing how much heat is generated.

Bottles seem heavy. Also, do you need (can you even use) that floormat in a hammock?

>>678537
The floormat is here when I can't set up my hammock (shit happens), it's really light and don't take that much room in my bag.
I think bottles are average, is there really lightweight canteen ?

>Tasmanian tiger small pouch

Are you me, anon?

>>678549
I don't really give a shit about Campingaz, but it's really easy to find here in France.
But Black Diamond and Tasmanian Tiger man, best brands ever.

>>678467
Why 2 headlamp ?

>>678697
In case I brake one
I always freak out by the idea of not having a light source during the night, so a lot of batteries and 2 headlamps, it's not really heavy anyway

>>678471
> posts pic of load out actually /out/
> no interest on /out/

Confirmed you fags are posers.

>>678832
I think that's a legitimate fear, one that I share. I usually pack a flash light, headlamp pack able lantern, and extra batteries

>>678941
Dude you didn't post anything but a picture what do you expect no one can tell what you have

>>678973
> no one can tell
That's my business.

You see my load out /out/?

Where's yours, the living room?

Total fag posers.

>>678999
Ok then

>>678999
You are the real poser here, trying to impress everyone and their friends with your no backpack setup and external frame or whatever alice frame with drybags.

You seem to be snowshoeing, but without a pack, how do you deal with snow pouring on you ?
And I tried to make a joke about those pine shit and the retarded name on your snowshoes but you didn't respond so you're the fag.

>>678999
> no one can tell
>That's my business.

why even bother to post then if you acknowledge that we can't get any useful info from the photo? no we won't help you masturbate over your gear with you.

Sensitive little bitches, aren't they?

Seem to have hit thier little buttons.

Guess they don"t reallly get /out/ that much.

> too busy putting stickers on their Nalgenes
> too busy posing shots in the living room

>>679226
What is the right amount of time to spend out to enter you little circlejerk ?

PS I took the picture in my bedroom see
>>669777

>>679230
> right amount
At least 72 hrs, door to door. Anthing less is just an overnight Might as well just have a slumber party in your mom's backyard.

>>679234
So an alpine course done in a day is not out enough for you ? And how often should someone do a 72hrs trip to gain your attention ?


You're just measuring your dick, well i'm too old and too smart to go you way. I almost never do overnight or more, I'm not a retard survivalist, and I certainly don't brag about how much I go out, but I'm sure a better person than you.

>>679239
> too old and too smart

And too late, you already did. Putz.

>>679246
Tell me more about your snowshoes trip with frame pack, I sure it's soooooooo interesting.

>>679303
There was snow.

>>679332
wow such an out lord ! post pics pls !

Seeing lot's of Osprays, are they good for camping etc. or should I look for other brands?

>>677887

i like how everything looks rustic and durable.

>>679673
Yer it is. I wouldn't hike more than 10 miles with this though, too heavy. I use another load out for that.

>>666161
All of this high quality name gear- do you have a real job?

If so, is it good enough to take 9 days off or did you quit?

>>679770
i ain't roasting >>666161 (You) though mate, that came across as mean. It's a legit awesome load out

Is it Condor Hudson Bay Knife and Condor Bushlore ?

>>679652

Nice bushcraft kit, not how I'd do it (lots of heavy kit there like the water bottles, saw, stainless cookware) but props. Specially like the mini seasoning kit with the oil etc.

Heres a quick rundown of my kit:

1: 3x3m tarp + lines in a drybag
2: WBBRR hammock + bars
3: Rab sleeping bag + quilt + longjohns + down jacket + spare socks
4: CCF pad (actually use two)
5: Goretex trousers (+jacket not pictured)
6: Ti Mugpot + whitebox stove
7: Mechanix gloves (shite need to replace)
8: Khukri + BRK Imp
9: Misc: Rite-in-the-rain pad, Silva compass, steel, lighter, anti-bac, toothbrush and bandana, Bahco folding saw, ZL H600 headtorch.

Thats my basic kit, plus my expendables - I use plain 2l water bottles for water (as they're lightweight and can be scrunched up for packing empty), a 250ml water bottle for my alcohol fuel, also not pictured is my tinder box, and my on body carry (AA torch+Leatherman S2)

>>679870
They are a condor Hudson Bay and a condor kephart.

>>679890
Yer it is heavy, but it's robust and I like it. I only walk a couple of miles with it, I'm 6'3 and 15 stone so it's not too much of a bother. If I was to do an extended hike, I've got a totally different load out.

>>678531
look at you
look how salty you are
you can't even spell a swear word that probably makes up a significant part of your vocabulary because someone prefers using a different method of sticking things together

cordage isn't for sticking things together, douchebag.

Happy with them ?

A pistol with ammunition. It's a lot like farming, except the cows are unarmed survivalists and the steaks are the contents of their bags.

>>680096
Yer no faults,I think they are excellent value. I nearly took my knuckle off with the Hudson Bay, a lot of weight behind it and it's pretty sharp. Kephart is good all rounder. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. If you are uk based, order them from the us, a lot cheaper.

>>670408
awesome dog

do you or anyone else vary sleeping pad setup if it is cold

for instance

below freezing overnight
vs just chilly like 30-40F
vs summer

Poor fag detected. If you don't pull a second mortgage your $500k home to buy ultralight you're not camping with me.

>>680783
Don't hate that from which we came.

>>680793
I'm hating on the holster, although /k/ isnt much better

>>680431

Hammock camper here. Use either a regular CFF pad, DIY widened CCF pad, or down UQ, or a combination of.

If you're feeling the cold through the ground with whatever pad you have I thoroughly recommend a cheapo CCF pad to bolster the total R value.

I started backpacking by going into Seattle Army Navy and buying a bunch of shit for 200 bucks to go hardcore ice cave camping, so I've been slowly transitioning from traditional to LW style.

I would ideas on how to lighten even more.

Yes I realize that the easiest one would be "don't use an Alice Large anymore", but I like the pockets.

Current base equipment:
Alice Large (soon to be with DownEast 1606ac and mountaineering style straps)
Snugpak jungle bag or a shitty 5 pound 3 season bag that I have from when I was a kid.
Poncho Liner (extends the jungle bag into somewhat of a 2 season bag)
Soto stove.
Sweetwater filter.
100oz camelbak with insulated hose
Firestarting kit in ziplock in sock (bic lighters, flint, a couple random MRE matchbooks)
50ft paracord
First aid kit based on Condor rip off EMT bag with tourniquets, isreili bandages hemostatics etc
Qi wiz small titanium poop shovel
Old Grump Surplus lightweight (14oz) army poncho. (fucking awesome shit, but only 100 or so were made, there are lighter weight UL tarps out there, but remember that this is both my tarp and my waterproof clothing layer.)
Toaks titanium tent stakes
4x bungee cords (I am probably gonna replace these with some paracords/shock cords set up with permanent self tensioning loops on one side and just a burned off end on the other to save weight)
wool army gloves w/ (have yet to find anything warmer)
MAC sack containing an extra pair ultralight pants, socks, shirt, and undies. (I regret buying this, there are much more convenient and lighter bags out there)
Some off brand ultralight inflatable pillow (3.4oz)
Army foam ground cover patched with duct tape I bought for 5 bucks.

On my person:
CZ RAMI (need to get a chest holster, my IWB holster does not work with a backpack)
HI M43 kukri
Streamlight Strion flashlight.
CRKT heiho or HI belt knife.

>>680783
To be fair, his main holster might be a leather IWB.

I currently just have no holster that works backpacking until next month when I can afford a chest holster.
