>>794713sounds like youre ticking all the boxes. I have the following gear:
>flecktarn summer parka, standard wehrmacht issue>flecktarn goretex overtrousers, standard wehrmacht issue (100% water proof, good in tas rainforest)this flecktarn gear is just as durable and quality as kathmandu, much cheaper and from the mid 1990s. however, kathmandu is better if its new.
> G1000 fjallraven jacket with synth fur liningmy winter jacket. too heavy for any location in nsw, i used it when hiking and working in snow during tas winter.
>flannel shirt>thick wool socks>wool jumperalways wear wool, even in summer. vastly superior to cotton in every regard in my opinion.
>60cm long axe. most useful item of my kit by far. a good axe is an amazing tool, can be used for everything from butchery to firestarting to bush carpentry>a kat knife, because im not one of those edgy KNIVE VS AXE retards. different tools different uses.>6 metres rope>2 man tent>amateur medical kit (dettol + duct tape)>auscam infantry vestfor day walks, can easily carry 10kg and barely feel it.
>$30 "colorado" strandbags backpack with padded hip straps.got it just for uni, but turns out its a very good meme. is like 40 litres and to my surprise is very good quality. ive taken it on a few trips now and never had any complains, it has lots of pockets and straps but isnt retarded.
i mostly do 2-3 day walks at most. i pack food and water depending on the location. because i dont give a shit about hot food i usually just take dry goods. if its in a cold environment (see: snow) i take a tiny turps stove.
i also always take a hacksaw with fresh blades in my vehicle. if you ever get locked in a national park gate, fuck waiting for someone to show up and unlock it. just cut through the padlock with your hacksaw and fuck off. its so stupid putting gates in the middle of the bush anyway, most dodgy types will do the same
