CAMPING GEAR

 

Hilleberg - Nammatj 2 GT

I was using a Hilleberg Acto before but with a dog and all my gear it was just too small. Hilleberg have kindly provided me with a new Nammatj 2 GT. An amazingly spacious and light tent.

 

 

Mountain Hardware Universe SL. 600 Down fill sleeping bag

I bought this one 6 years ago and its still going strong. Not much use in the heat but great in sub zero temperatures.

 

Therma-a-Rest  - Sleeping mat

 

MSR - Multi Fuel Cooking stove

 

MSR - Titanium Cookset

 

You don't get any lighter than this.

 

 

Platypus - Water bags

 

Collapsable, freezable, indestructable.......Very useful

 

SealLine waterproof storage bags

I use one to store my sleeping bag and roll mat. Another is used for electronis and clothes.

I will need to reduce other items as weight is going to be an increasing issue. Ditch is big now and needs a trailer. Thats an extra 20kg already.  Ideas...........One pair of pants for example, half a sock, or simply for me not to go and save 80kg. Without me the journey would be a very light weight afffair.
