So, I spent last night putting my new bag together!
It's based on a CTD rip-off of the maxpedition Falcon. I'm not a maxped. fan and I was broke when I got it but its held up so far!
You can see the tarp on the bottom, I'll start with that. It's a simple brown/silver 8X10 tarp, with reinforced corners.
That's a emdom small shingle pouch. It's attached to the front of pack via large malice clips.
In it are my fire kit(nat.geo. pelican-style case with misch metal rod, fatwood and fatwood shavings, PJCB's, matches, and a gel flame heater.), buck masters streamlight stylus(green LED), and a baggie of baggies(2 gallon bags, 2 quart bags.)
In the bottom front pocket are, my MSR miox, 5 sticks of fatwood
, 100 ft. of para cord, 2 spools of different sized snare wire, 8 aluminum tent pegs, snap light, and 2 packets of aluminum foil.
The top front pocket is my FAK pocket, in it are my FAK(can't remember the contents sorry), and a bottle of iodine(secondary water treatment, and antiseptic)
The middle pocket is shelter/warmth. In it is my gortex shell, extra fleece, earmuffs, bungee cord, climbing carabiner, and two key chain biners.
The largest back pocket is food/tools. It contains my wetterlings small hunter's axe, and my diamond sharpening stones. It is mainly empty, leaving room for food/water.
On the outside of the pack are my ESEE4(on the left shoulder strap), Gerber suspension, 35-45ft of para cord, two key chain biners, and, not in the picture is my whistle which is on the opposite shoulder strap.
So, what do you guys think?
I know I need water containers, I like the look of the platypus water bottles. Anyone have experience with them? Since this is a grab and go bag for last minute camping/ woodsbumming trips I can't leave water packed in them. I also have to keep the clothes there as I don't know what I'll be wearing when I grab it and leave. So, am I missing anything? Thanks in advance!
