Some photos of the daysac kit I discussed yesterday. I will stress some other items are likely to be added as suits the
intended trip. Currently the bag and the contents shown weigh about 5½ lbs with
the waterbottle empty.
Clockwise, from the top.
Red and black item is the keffiyeh. A
hank of paracord and one of general purpose string rests on top.
The green item to the left and beneath
the keffiyeh is the All-weather blanket. The trainer laces visible are attached
to the AW blanket grommets.
To right of keffiyeh in white plastic bag
is a toilet roll. Beneath this is a pack of disposable lighters. Only two will
be carried and a couple of nightlight candles added.
The lighters and toilet roll are on top
of my boonie hat
Under the boonie hat is a 3 litre
Platypus waterbottle with drinking tube.
On top of the waterbottle is a pair of
poundstore gloves and a headover to the left of them.
Left of the waterbottle and resting on
the AW blanket is a pac-a-mac
The daysac is on the far left with the
first aid kit on top. Above is the whistle/compass/thermometer/LED
light/magnifier/mirror thing that I use as a zipper pull.
Not shown above: Pencil, candles and hand-crank LED
flashlight. I forgot to take them out of their compartment for the photo!
A photo of the first aid pouch contents
and the other side of the whistle thing.
The pouch came with a pair of clean
disposable gloves in a small bag, visible top-middle. Bottom right is the rest
of the contents the pouch came with. Some plasters, tape and absorbent
materials. I cannot recall if the alcohol wipes came with the pouch or I added
them later. These items will be placed in a better ziplock bag since this one
has torn.
The contents I added: Painkillers and diclofenac.
Tin of Vaseline. More plasters.
