Ok. Here’s my first go at a kit list for the 5 day Bushmoot in July/August. I thought I’d do a database of all my kit, then select the kit per excursion. As the list goes down you can see the category (Carry, clothes, food etc). I tried to produce the table but the layout in Blogger isn’t good enough to show it properly.

I want to make this Bushmoot comfortable, but I don’t want to turn up laden with kit. I’m going with what I can fit in a 55 litre rucksack plus a 15-20 litre daysack which will be piggy-backed on to the 55. (I’ll show you this mod I’ve worked on later). If it doesn’t fit in one of the two sacks (plus the shoulder bag off course)…it ain’t going!

For sleep systems, I’m actually going to go with the tarp/hammock and I’m taking along the bivvi bag. Cross between tree and ground dwelling.

I think the whole of this Busmoot is going to be a phenomenal learning experience which I just can’t pass up. It will be just like a course and fun at the same time. With the bonus of Mors going, I think this is just going to be an immense experience all round. And all for 50 quid…
