Base camp in a bergan list.

[munchh]

I thought i'd put this on just for a bit of fun, i know i've seen a 'lists' thread on here somewhere, but i cannot find it, anyway i'm putting this on just in case it helps anyone putting something on thier list that they had not thought of.

My friend has a friend who has alot of land and this includes woods, this gives us the chance to wild camp (i wish i had more time), so this list is what i came up with for a base camp 2 or three night stay, but it all had to go in one GB army bergan, the only addition was i used 2 extra side pouches so it had 4 on it, i did this so i could have one for food one for fire/fuel stuff one for cooking stuff and the last for first aid / cleaning stuff.

It is not meant as a BOB or a go light walking/camping gearout, it is because we drive to a point then walk about 1/2 a mile to the camp and needed to not keep going back to the car.
