... understanding....we think, e.g. minimalism.
..largely using cheap, some used, yet rugged working-quality stuff with little or not much prestige attached.
Of course we'd loike the whole
trangia (sweden) cook set, but we can't afford these. So we use a chinese clone of the trangia cook set. Bought a chinese kettle that fits inside the folded set and voila, kitchen. We use a real full size, non-folding fork/spoon (not a spork). The only genuine trangia item we own is the
trangia multi-disc, which serves as a cutting board, lid and pasta strainer...etc.
Then knifes, we use a
hultafors gk heavy duty knife, it's cheaper & better then a mora of similar style and ruggedness and it can be filed on the back to give a nicer spark. We did some
other modifications on the knife...and the sheath.
... a large british surplus
mtp basha tarp, which is one of our moar pricey items... and (cheap) paracord....this basha is really good tho, we love it.
No hammock here. No axe here either. We don't make fire in the woods.
For sleeping we do have a swizz surplus sleeping bag (seldom use it) and a
british surplus bivi, a surplus
folding isolation mat, should we have to sleep outside in the rain or snow. We also have a US poncho.
Having a little (hanging)
lamp with a diffuser and a head light and one of the
cree power LED flash lights and extra
diffuser wand.
We use normal clothing. Obviously the 120l bergen is a prestige items, so we stopped using it (sold it). Instead we use the bags on our bicycle (mostly) and a small rucksack. We don't need 120 liters really....
We also carry a small
monocular, since we love birds....and sometimes we carry
this cheap collapsible rugged vaporizer.
Not into the moar expensive stuffs. That would
defeat the purpose....we think.
