Looks bloody good! Cheers for that. Are you going to take insect repellent?
Rape whistle.... What sort of trip you going on :O_O:
Good list, cheers for putting it together
I'd hazard a guess @Philipo is going too :D
There is one thing on the list I specifically went out and bought when I found out @Philipo was to be my buddy... I'll leave it to you to guess what that was.
tooo many things come to mind so i'll move along
If you're a 28kg female and happy to share a tent with me then you're in @Sarvo
@Dorkus I would take more of those replace sachets mate they don't take up much room and they're bloody good I usually smash a 700ml three times a day when hunting the big stuff
Shit that's a lot of electrolytes. I'll throw some more in.
I use these ones

Were would be the best place online to find a sleeping bag - compression bag ??
Excuse adding here - but not worth starting a Thread over
I like the threads where gearlists and photos of gear setups are put up.. always encourages good conversation around specific items and gives fresh ideas. Maybe time for a new one?
Wide brim sunhat, sunscreen and sunglasses mate
We really have gone down a rabbit hole and hijacked the OP's thread... Can someone else please post a gear list for a week long fly-in trip?
@Dorkus , 10 more rounds incase your scope takes a knock
Cheers @Munsey, I'll throw a few more in.
Cheers @Munsey, I'll throw a few more in.
Here we go then, I tell myself I have all I need now but I tell myself the same all the time, there's always new stuff to try! But pretty happy with my general kit, just add food.
Clothing
Attachment 83721
2x longjohns, one for hunting, one for sleeping
1x Merino top
2x microfleece t shirts
2x spare socks, again one for hunting, one for sleeping
Down Jacket
Beanie
1x spare underwear (don't wear them if I'm wearing longjohns)
Jacket, I take one or the other but lean towards the Swazi Tahr, other is a Kuiu Chugach NX, packs really small and is 100% watertight but I can't tear myself away from the tahr, keeps ya bum warm and dry, and provides warmth and watertight at the same time.
I pack all my clothes into the orange dry bag and I'm usually wearing some rugby shorts and a merino top to start with.

Pack
Attachment 83750
Exped lightning 60, weighs under 1.5kg, carries a load well and is surprisingly comfortable for a light pack
Not shown are my boots, La Sportiva Karakorum
Wrote this on my phone so hope it makes sense and is in order. Pack weight is around 9kg with all that stuff (excluding rifle and bino bivvy stuff) then just add food
Dorkus has never been on a week long fly in trip with me before lol
The best thing for me is I'm a skinny light little prick ( so can take more shit in my half of the load ) & I'm not taking a Mutt, so I will be taking heaps of shit as normal.
I've been working full noise trying to get jobs finished before we go, so haven't even started prepping but a few things ( that people often forget ) are
Floss - noting worse than having shit stuck in ya teeth
Nail clippers / file - nothing worse than fuking a nail & it catching on everything
Small tent light - great for reading or just as "mood" lighting
A decent book, a stick mag & a note book ( for writing in & drawing C&B's ) when stuck in ya tent for days on end
Always take two headlamps with plenty of spare batterys
Plenty of tape & rope ( meters of the shit ) and some zip ties
A basic gun kit ( including a rod )
Multi tool
I'll post up a list of my shit one day, when I get time
I must add my list is for a walk in trip, like Philipo I have stick mags and steak and garlic butter and all sorts of shit if flying in
Nail clippers and file, crackup
A knife is all I use that’s why I laugh
This has been a bloody handy thread actually! I'm also wondering what tents everyone is using?
Do you remember the seller of the titanium cooker Ryan?
