Thread: Fiordland gear list take 3

Looks good, not sure I'd take two jackets? I'd probably trade the guide jacket for a down jacket.

Your food looks a bit light but you'll know how much you need. I always like to take a few mandarins, a couple of instant soups for cold days.

Could trade the guide for the kuiu kenai I have which is like a synthetic down jacket. only reason I have gone the guide is it's pretty wind proof, probably not as warm as the kenai tho

Also I would be inclined to take two smaller gas cylinders than one big one, if the valve shits itself (unlikely but have seen it happen and all the gas escaped) then you're left with zilch...

Ya have thought about it but this was cheap as chips and it's technically lighter. Other benefits to multiple cylinders are you can track usage a bit better/conserve. I will probably stash on at drop off point as I'm planning on crossing back over after 5-6 days

Not sure on total weight as I don't have scales but it won't be much, I would class it as a light weight setup without being ultra light weight. Big savings on rifle/pack and my food isn't overly heavy. Not to many luxuries personal items either
