Attention, attention, ladies and gentlemen!
Here comes now, especially for my new British friends, the amazing picture story of Erbswurts little kitchen trick!

"How to store a coffee bar in a 750 ml titanium mug?"

You have seen the international beloved an famous actors:
Victorinox Climber (in future rolls Vici Compact)
Tatonka xxs round bottom sack (take a slightly larger, its very tight!)
Toaks Titanium 750ml billy can "bushcraft"
Hünersdorf Schraubdose 500ml (screw container)
Quechua Spoon
Kitchen Sponge
Cotton Cordage
Home made Stainless Steel Snare with hooks
Bic mini Lighter
Handkerchief
Laco burner (identic with alpkit)
Primus 100g Gas bottle

Attention! Don't use this type of gas burner with Optimus Gas Bottles! Never! You would destroy the burner!!! Optimus left the international screw ventile norm. Ist less than a mm in the highest peak (or do you say tip), the highest point, nearly invisible. All other screw ventile bottle are working well with that type of gas burner.
 
Some encores?
Erbswursts enlightening washing kit:

I am a professional posterer. I hang up concert posters in shops every where in Europe. So I am living out of the ruck sack.
I sleep may be 3 month in the woods, 3 month in a tent on Camping grounds, 3 month in Hostels, 1,5 month in the office and 1,5 at home, what means a wood oven heated woden cottage. Of course mixed together.
That's my summer ruck sack and bivi set up:

Hi Erbs.

Very nice kits mate......organised and well thought out....like it:thumbsup:

Thanks for the photos and sharing with us.:thumbsup:
 
The base weight of the ruck sack how you see it here is around 5,5 kilograms. That means without water, gas or food.
The sleeping bag is a Snugpack spezial Forces 1 with it's Bibi bag. The mat is rhe folding one of the German army. The Rucksack is the Bundeswehr Gebirgsjägerrucksack 34 liters. But I think about to change it to the Decathlon Solognac 50 Liters Hunting ruck sack 1000 g. (Same weigt, same stile, larger Volume, same price.)
 
This is the way my kit is going at the moment........moving on from a palace bungalow to compct and be-ju.
Now mostly using a Slumit Gobi tent which I really like:thumbsup:

We like it too William !

Especially if it is situated at the far end of the woodland !

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ! ;):whistle::p:D:notlistening:
 
Some nice kit there Erbswurst :thumbsup:

What setup do you use in winter.
 
Yes, today the material is develloped till the end.They surched the rocks in the rucksack and they found them.

There is no reason to carry more around today. I will buy for the Winter a titanium bottle, to be able to save water from freezing. There is a US Army stile titanium bottle with mug on the market. It looks good.

For British weather and mitches I think the light but not ultra light large 1Persons Tent SilHexpeak V4a would bee a good option too.
You can set it up with a trekking pole, nature stick (because it is strongly reinforced there) or you can hang it under the branch of a tree or a tripod in longer camps. (I ordered one, but didn't get it jet, because I am travelling in the moment.)

One foto is missing, my stitching kit lip stick.
And some more details to answer the last questions in the world:

The Victorinox knife chain is a good light weiht cooking chane too, if you remove the wire closure.

My brand new Cotton Cordage for the tripod is ultra light and brown. In cases of emergency you can use them for shoes too, of course!
 
Winter equipment?
The same Equipment.
But Bundeswehr Kampfrucksack 65 liters, (But Decathlon 50 should be enough too)
Snugpack Special Forces 2 (inside or the complete system on top of the rucksack, what does not work with the Solognac 50). The small Fiskars x-track saw, (but there I a risk that the teeth come out allone and destroy equipment in the ruck sack, I think about buying the short Opinel Folding saw. If you make the handle tighter and drill holes in it, it becomes ultra light.)
In bad weather a fleece balaclava in the night.

The Fiskars hatchet with the long handle I usually do not carry around.

Additional Clothing from the Decathlon Solognac choice.The quiltet Jacket Solognac is my Pillow in the summer in the Osprey 6 Liter Silnylon bag in the foto. Under it I am wearing fleece in the Winter, and Austrian Army Shirt and Decathlon Hunting TShirt in plastic or cotton, sometimes light Merino T-Shirt. Over it Austrian Smog KAZ 02 and German army rain suite Goretex Flecktarn "Bundeswehr Nässeschutz Anzug" its cheap, tough and relativly light. Or a Solognac rain suite in civil optic.
Slowly becoming old I think about buying Ulfrotte Woolpower long johns, 200 or 400, I have to get it out, what is better for me.
 
I guess British rucksacks with large side pockets are better, than the german Army 65 Liters.
Berhaus Centurio 45 plus side pockets has the same volume, should also bee not so heavy and it is easier to organise the stuff!
 
Attached to the ruck sack's entrance you can see the small black photon micro light as backup for Battery changing and a little view in the bag.
