Day -4 Gear preparation

Gear for the South Coast Track

Gear all sorted and ready to do a test pack/final pack tomorrow! If you are paying close attention to the image you will notice that there are two packs and the reason behind this is that I still have to determine which one to take. If I was just carrying gear I could very easily get away with my 36 litre Osprey Talon Pack but its going to be the food that may push me into my larger 48litre Osprey Exos. While I own a number of packs what’s missing as far as size is concerned is something around the 40litre mark which would be the ideal. This means that I will do a packing attempt on the smaller pack to start with and see how I go. For me its not so much about the weight but being able to carry a physically smaller pack is a real luxury as as it just creates a sense of freedom with arm movement that larger packs don’t afford. i got away the the 36 litre pack on my East Gippsland Rail Trail Trip earlier this year but that was with 4 days of food. We’ll see how the packing attempt goes in the next post.
