>>539111Thanks for the compliment. Sounds like you've got the right idea as well. Redundant fire starting is always good. Don't forget that a lensatic compass has a magnifier as well.
Inside the pack I've got an interesting tarp arrangement, Swedish cooker and some other food related goodies, sleeping bag and spare clothes. It's finally stopped raining for a few days so I'll probably be a bit busy but, if you want, I'll get some photos of the rest of what's in the bag.
The hygiene kit can be lightened a bit, you don't really need deodorant and nail clippers, but seeing as they're light and could be handy they're there. Nail clippers tend to come in a pack of about 5 so might as well stash one set there. The deodorant is more for when I'm coming in from the bush after a week or so /out/. Always better to look and smell clean when you come into town than smell like you've been smoked like a kipper. From a bug out point of view its the 'grey man' idea, I guess.
