2022 South Coast Track

Day -3 Gear preparation
Packed pack
Packed pack

In preparing for my journey on the South Coast Track I was tossing up between using one of two packs, my Osprey Talon 36, and my Osprey Exos 48. I know from previous experience that my 36litre option works for trips up to 4 days in non snow conditions and I was hoping that I could ‘push the friendship’ and manage to use it for this trip as well. Unfortunately no go and as expected it came down to my food taking up more space than my gear itself. Including food, gas and 3l water my total pack weight is 17.2kg and later today I’ll pull it all apart again and see what I can leave out to trim the weight before loading it into my transport bag for my trip to Hobart tomorrow.
