Twenty five odd years ago my weekly training walk was finish work friday night at carringbah, catch train to toomb town. Narrow neck, carlon breakfast ck, coxs r, yellow pup, toomb town. Sat nigh train to the gong. I carried everything in a over the shoulder home made bag. Msr whisperlite, small saucepan, lighter, dunny roll, polypropalene sleeping bag liner, sloppy joe, rain coat, beanie, hat, oats, water bottle. All fitted nice. Sometimes i added a hip pad of ccf. The satchel type bag was light aand meant i never got a wet sweaty back. The bag was about the same size as a reuse supermarket shopping bag, maybe a bit smaller. And there were memorable bits of suffer.
