When using a billy over an open fire, does the black charcoal that forms on the outside make a mess in your pack?
Think green........recycle one of those super market plastic bags
Incidently, a blackened billy will heat/boil faster than a clean shiny one .....plus you can put your fingers under a well blackened billy to tip it for pouring without getting them burnt
If you want a really liteweight couple of days then this is all you need for a hot evening meal & a couple of brew ups

Yeah, you guys who've been hunting off Clements with your gear on your back then camping wherever darkness overtakes you have got the quick, lightweight overnighter trips well sussed
Not just in there though I hunt like that most places I go
every thing you need for a couple of nights out ( sleeping bag, thermo rest, cooker, tin cup, camera, knife, food and 3l camalbac)
I do the same during the roar for up to 11 days at a time just need to carry a bit more food in a 35l huntec pack fits every thing I need (sleeping bag, fly/poles/pegs, thermo rest, cooker, tin cup, camera, knife, spare clothing food and 3l camalbac)

I've recently found a youghurt and muesli mix done by Vogels. Nice feed and you just add an equal amount of water. Last time I tried those flat white coffee mixes which worked well enough. Can go for an extended trip with just the cup, cooker and desert spoon. Dont need any milk either.
May I suggest that you detail the contents of your first aid kit as well? We have had many threads in the past asking what people should have in theirs.
You probably won't be able to edit your original post now so just tack it on the end and I'll move it. Same goes for anything else you want to add. If I forget, just PM me to remind me.
Dear Noah, We could have sworn you said the ark wasn't leaving till 5. Sincerely, Unicorns

Thanks Nimrod, What survial tube/bag are you using. I have one of the orange MSC ones and its pretty bulky, couldnt see it fitting in the pencil case. Cheers
It's a big orange plastic bag.....not much bulkier tham a standard survival blanket. they condensate up but in my opinion are a lot more robust and give better shelter from the elements than a tin foil sheet.......and they don't deteriate like survival blankets do
