Hexamine stove, couple of tins of baked beans plus fruit and mars bars.
That's two of us sorted.
And it even leaves room for the important stuff like guns.
oh those 2 and a bit boxes includes guns/ammo etc
K, packed.
I've got this down to a tee now so everything packed into 1 gun case, 2 musette bags and 1 kit bag. (As long as Capa remembers it)
I'll be wearing everything else.
All packed... biggest problem has been how to store the sleeping bag, tent, pillow (lol), groundsheets and camp bed (much better than a roll mat). These have gone in a kit bag and the large pack.
Food has nicely packed in my small pack... not much needed at all. Oh and its all in period packaging
I will have a big bag of spare food in the car if I get desperate.... I doubt I will.
There's a period wrapped choccie bar and some other bits in my emergency ration tin kept in my webbing for the saturday daytime and plenty of water in waterbottles in my small pack and on my webbing, though something tells me thats not going to be a problem...
Right now all that really needs sorting is the batteries for the radios... most are charged now. What I need to remember to do is not leave any switched on over night like I did for arnhem! ARGH!
Oh and even period wrapped toilet paper... though I've put it in zip lock bags to stay dry... lol
For clothes I have both wool and denims packed so that I can decide what to wear on the day.
christ we haven't even started packing got mate round for drinks tonight will sit and work out whats needed tomorrow and will be packed up whilst the kids are at school on friday
99% packed. Don't think i've packed this little for a weekend since i stopped Lightweight Backpacking lol
Will do the rest tommorow morning, then i'm good to go

Oh yeah, one thing about camp beds. Makes it FAR easier to sneak a mk 9 Thunderflash under a person

When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
knackers forgot about the sleeping bag lol. ah well there should be room.
Minimal load out. My gun, a sharp stick...and a nutrigrain bar strapped to my leg.
I got all my stuff in 1 Musette Bag
Show me a man who will jump out of an airplane, and I'll show you a man who will fight!

CRY HAVOC AND LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR
I'm 63% done. Ach! NEEEIIINNN!!! My bashas were not in the post, and that was the last chance due to tomorrow's strike.
Anyway, I've got one big modern rucksack with my uniform and kit that I'll wear - that'll stay in the car - and my rather small Swedish one with the rest of the stuff. Tent and sleeping bag roll up to minimal proportions and will be strapped to the sack. Gunbag also stuffed with bits, and I'm carrying my mat roll - "pick up your bed and walk", as someone once said.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Half way through.
Due to the courier not picking the No4 off Warren yesterday, I wont be getting it in time now. If the rest off the stuff doesn't arrive in today's post (usually about lunchtime for me) then I'm gonna have problems
Panic time, cos of early start tomorow.
Hahahha - that'll be "Welsh Rarebit" then !!!!!!!!!!!
Fancy Cheese on toast then yea?!
pmsl I'm still no further on but I do have to organise kids as tomorrow is a normal "mom" day an lil one is off on a trip, lists at ready so will be making a start gathering things together, just checking posts to make sure I actually did buy everything needed and I've not missed anything off as its been weeks since it all arrived
