Thanks for sharing Scotty! The only additional thing I'd carry is Celox powder in a 5g pack in the first aid kit. It's a clotting powder that gets you right outta trouble when the red stuff is leaking bad, even from something as simple as catching yourself on a silky saw. It also is great cause it's non surgical removal, some clotting powders are so effective they need surgical removal!

Due to you, Scotty, I did my first two night solo a couple of weeks back. And I learned a lot. But I DO need to learn to leave some sh!t at home. Thanks for your vids.

Nice one Scotty. Looking forward to the WOJ vid 👍

Fantastic gear list. Thanks for sharing. I always love supporting smaller shops that make quality gear.

Nice gear Loadout ! Another thought would be to add snoseal to your leather boots! Will help protect the leather and keep them more waterproof. I've got the same boots myself.

One item I see not used often is a gear brush for dust and dirt. I just use a curve handle palm brush from the dollar store. I use it for everything but I also have a bicycle. Oh dish soap is a good addition.

The x-mid has been my go to for a while now. Nice to see another Aussie using it out and about.

Thanks for sharing Scotty. If you want to go lighter, you can shave off close to 250g by ditching the nalgene and replace it with a water bottle, attach a sports cap to your sawyer and carry the sawyer attached to the bottle. Sports cap easily back flushes the sawyer in the field and you can leave the syringe at home.

Thanks Scotty, always interesting to see what other people use. Agree you need to be careful of the ultralight rabbit hole lol. Keen to hear how your new tent goes in strong winds and stands up after a bit of use. Cheers mate

Hey Scotty, good kit. A tip for the Sawyer filter. There is a "Tornado" connection for the Sawyer to a clean water bag. Ditch the syringe. Connect the CNOC to the Sawyer and then with the Tornado directly to the clean water bag.
No more spilling, hang the CNOC high for a gravity feed- and when you done just give the clean water bag a quick squeeze to backflush the filter.

Great set up mate for 10kg. Similar set to ours but just a little bit heavier with necessities. Thanks for sharing, it's given us some great ideas. Cheers cobber.!

ALWAYS love seeing what people put in their kit! Very much enjoy the videos!
Thank you Scotty

Excellent kit scotty, if i could recommend one small thing to add when filming just incase is a 1-2m length of small gauge insulated copper wire, that way in a dire case you lost some gear you could start a fire with a camera battery using the wire on the positive and negative, probably very unlikely you may need it, but its cheap as chips, super light and may come in handy for other things. really enjoy your content scotty, all the best.

[BrianCapezzone]

Thank you for another awesome video. Very informative, really appreciate the knowledge transfer and your insights. Take care and happy trails!

[ProcrastinatingWoodsman]

Cheers for running through your camera gear bag!
I'm an aussie over in Europe at the moment and you've inspired me to have a crack at the YouTube thing over here.
No where near anything home (Australia) but at least you don't have to worry about snake, spiders, and where I'm from Crocodiles! 🤣

Wife and I did an overnight hike last September - two of us, each had 20kg packs... Seemed normal to us, but after watching this, got a lot of improvements to make!

[Matt-jbpb]

I really wish somebody would do one of these pack dumps for the poor guy in mind a lot of us don't have a lot of money

[woodchip]

Love your thinking, your attitude and your confidence.👍🏻

[ladyadventurer]

Absolutely love your videos, Scotty. About to embark on a few great walks myself, and so comforting to see a similar setup (no fly fishing though! haha...). Love the XMid's, have one or two myself... So nice to see our local business Alton continued to be so patronised, but then you always have... Cheers, Scotty, and Banjo! woof woof!
