How many days/nights were you out for? (For the food weight).

I noticed that you use the Prolite 4, that is the thinnest mat that I enjoy using ( at 171 cm the "ladies" version is my size) , so that brings me to the question, what was the minimum temperature ?
That is in regards to the 180 quilt. Do you wear some clothing under that ? (Apart from the polypro stuff)
I use the No Sniveller but I think that so far it has only gone down to around 10 c , if I expect below 5c I use the Ultralite .
Nice stove.....

Polypro ? never seen sheep wearing that

Just looking at gear list.....are they your own weights or those supplied by manufacturer??....as I notice you've given down to 10ths of a gram....which would require scientific scales to measure.
Also noticed following not listed..
1st Aid kit containing....whistle, thermal blanket, roller bandages(snake bite etc), wound dressing, triangular bandage,band aids(blisters, minor cuts etc),pins, needle and thread, emergency food
Toilet gear...trowel, toilet paper,towel etc

compass or gps??
note book, pencil..

How is it for you and how did it handle the weather?
I just sussed out that super light Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS. Do you do anything about the Battery life: 10 hours, typical ?
And what brand/model of gloves are you using? 30grams is nice. Good to what temps?
Thanks for sharing your pack list. Much appreciated.

just wondering how the Korker boots are to hike in? I have Korker wading boots and they are a couple sizes larger than my normal shoes to fit my waders. I have neoprene socks that i can wear with them to wet wade, but i wouldnt want to hike in them....they would be awefully hot and i'd say would cause a few blisters.
i am going on a trip next weekend, taking my fly rod. I am carrying in a pair of crocs to wade in, but i am a bit worried about snakes. I am leaving my waders and korkers home as they are just too big to carry.
would be great to hear your views on this one.

I'm looking to do Euc Dam-Happy Jacks Rd-Grey Mare-Valentines via MTB with the +1 later in the year (the rod may well make it in!). I note the bikes against the hut; are they yours ? If so, how was the riding and what sort of times for your route did you find ?
Earthling wrote:Goodo about the Contrail. Feel free to post away in my gearlist thread when youve had some high wind, about how the contrail handled it. Also any other adverse weather conditions. Ive found I need to put another pole at the base to give a bit more height so my bag doesnt touch the tent roof. Francos got some pics around showing his with it if you feel that way inclined.
How do you charge the GPS out bush? What sort of charger is it? Solar?
That possum/wool mix seems to work well. I will look into them...any particular breed/make better?

How does the jam go with that weight with it not having a frame sheet? Do you use your pad for support? I would imagine you would be on the upper end of the comfortable weight
Thanks
