>>2816117Depends what I’m doing, If it’s the summer you can get away with a rain fly, hammock, maybe a mosquito net, closed foam pad, and a wool blanket packed in my bag (pic related) perfect for overnights and have enough space for food/ 3L water bladder.
I used to bring knife/axe/saw, but recently I’ve just started carrying a multi tool..I found after backpacking for a month I didn’t even use my bush craft knife for anything.
Generally speaking I like tents, I’ve got a two person that I’ve had for 15 years and instead just use that with a sleeping pad, foam mat that I’ll pack in my 85L pack. Most recently I went to the UK for a month and went with the heavier set up since i assumed there would be less trees and I would be more comfortable in a tent. I always find that it’s better to carry more than you need then carry ultra light since you’re inevitably going to end up breaking something and will have a very uncomfortable night. Then again I’ve got a good friend who has the same set up as I mentioned at first and he’s been using that for years with no problems so hike your hike I guess
