TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Both my Hbergs have them, little more protection doesn't hurt. Put it on once and that's it.

My footprint is 180 grams, doesn't really bother me. My pack is always around the 15 kg, if 180 grams is going to be a a show stopper I'll lose some weight myself

My thoughts, and actions also.
