Guide: Equipment mentality

Hi,
to start a question: What do a Roman legionary on Hadrian's Wall, an Anglo-Saxon Huscarl of Hastings, a shooter of the 95th Rifles at Waterloo and a Royal Marine in Helmand common: The weapons have evolved, but the equipment still weighs the same! The greatest challenge of modern equipment is not the procurement of equipment, but the transport. By a clever selection you can here the pitfalls but a trick.

selection
is the most important equipment to make meaningful choices. But what is reasonable? Focus on improvisation and purchase from local resources: a path that I want to introduce here. What does this mean exactly? Quite simply, the goal is as much of the resources required "on site" to belong. Each has ever tent poles made of wood or tent hooks carved. But the measure does not include water cart from Germany to Slovenia to do so. This includes but to plan the right equipment. For example, I have, in areas where the map shows rivers, little bottles of water, but But a water filter. To hand tools to make site (which is limited to 95% for wood work), requires good tools. A small carving knife and a Faltsäge is more suitable than a machete. The ability to repair equipment put one in a position to make spare equipment at home.
Dedicated equipment
Another point that is immensely important equipment must be tailored to the situation! The universal sleeping bag for four seasons (summer at 15 ° Low), the 1-4 man cookware (LRRP on the OP), the shovel (in Mahlwinkel), they all make the package difficult and are not needed. Even mundane things like washing stuff can be minimized. The Universal soap (for the head, face and body) combined with a microfiber towel and a small toothbrush, toothpaste with a small tube, instead of the quick shift in the local mirror cabinet (and towel and Rasierköfferchen) saves space. A set of Fleeceinlett, lightweight sleeping bag and moderate sheep's bag can be combined with a bivy bag for all seasons.
Conclusion: Take with what you really need, and only that! And the equipment to be ready! When used for trousers, should already be tuned Riggersbelt, etc. ..
rethinking the plan and pack
It is important to solve them, the pack with the thought "What I take with me" to begin! Much more sense to think before is where to go and what to expect one. The packing list should not be:
- U.S. Tarp
- BW sleeping bag
- etc. ..
Here comes again with massive stuff that you do not need. Makes you a list of needs! Also clarified a few days off before:
- What kind of weather can come to me?
- What resources do I have on site?
- What will I do?
then makes your list:
- What I wear on your feet?
- What Clothes I take with me?
- What do I need for weather protection?
- What I wear on my head when ... (It's raining, cold)?
- What I sleep, (what) I need (as) weather protection?
- What I eat what I need to prepare?
- What do I need for the mission?
- How much expecting enemy contact me?
- etc. ..
When you have completed this list: Look through what is it redundant. Poncho and Tarp? One gone!
And so does her your luggage and therefore life easier!
