Scotland, here I come!

So what's inside this Snugpak Rocket? (that's really the only thing people care about):
  • Snugpak Softie Elite 3 sleeping bag
  • Quechua 2 man ultralight tent
  • Extra pair of Merrells old hikers (I am wearing my old LLBean hikers on the plane)
  • Bedroll (as pictured)
  • 2 pairs of long wool socks, 1 pair of cotten socks
  • 1 flannel (going to wear on the plane)
  • 2 t-shirts
  • 1 extra pair of pants (canvas type material)
  • 2 pairs of boxers
  • 1 pair of hiking shorts in case I feel like jumping in a loch :)
  • 1 wool hat
  • 1 pair of super-cheap waterproof pants from Decathlon
  • 1 waterproof woolrich jacket
  • 1 wide-brim waterproof hat from LLBean
  • 1 pair of work gloves
  • 1 ultralight towel
  • 1 "just add water" spiderman washcloth courtesy of BJ Williamson
  • toothpaste, toothbrush, (gonna buy biodegradable soap in Aberdeen)
  • 1 camera with extra batteries
  • 1 first aid kit with basic items
  • Zebra "Billy" Can for cooking
  • 1 spork
  • 1 Stainless Steel Morakniv Clipper
  • 1 EnZo Trapper
  • 1 Swiss Army Knife "Rucksack" Model
  • 1 Crooked knife for making spoons
  • some sandpaper for sharpening knives (in altoids tin)
  • fire steel, matches
  • some paracord
  • a compass, water-filtering straw (for emergencies)
  • Nalgene & nesting cup
  • Instant coffee :)
  • Leather strop
  • headlamp
  • Piece of foam to sit on
  • And of course, my Bible and a journal :)
That's it! I kept getting rid of more and more bushcraft stuff because I just didn't have room. I found myself having to choose between a nice sharpener or waterproof pants - not a hard choice in my book. Should be a fun time. Pictures to come! See you in 10 days.
