Small packs are good. I use a 3 day assault backpack and to kit it out for winter I just attach my cold weather gear to the pack. I put my quilts, sleeping bag, ect in stuff sack bags then use the strapping on the bag to hold them in place.

nice video mate, nice to see wat other peoples set up is like and from different places in the world

Well done Mate! You have a lot of great gear there in a nice load. Everything you need in 10lbs that’s great. Hope to get there myself before I do my next long overnight. There are some great guys here on You Tube for sure. Less than a year ago I knew next to nothing about backpacking. I have learned a great deal from the gang here. I suspect I’ll pick up a few ideas from you too. Possibly even just using a bag liner instead of a full sleeping bag. Temps get pretty warm here in California too.

Very good weight for the size pack you carry. And you have all the essentials covered. Thought you were going through my pack there for a moment. Good to know I’m on the right track with what I pack.
