I can't say I've got that good of a setup; I just might have to inventory and post to get some input from you all experts!

lol... well, I have been building and rebuilding my kit for many years now... so it may change again next week! But so far, this has been a good set up for me. I am working on an "A" frame chair that can also be a bed and a hammock. If it turns out well, I will start a thread for it here. It would add about 8 ounces to the pack but a bed a chair and a hammock for 8oz is just fine by me.

Nice looking kit.

Add some packets of honey to your kit that you can get where they sell coffee and tea. Like bookstores They make great pick me ups while out in the bush.

the tarp is a 10x10 camo from my boys at 1starmy.com, which I have strung with 10' 550 in each gromet and an adjustable piece that runs across the middle so that I can hang things from it. (I will post some pics when I get a chance).

The sleeping bag is the cats meow from northface (for it at REI for half off durring a end of season sale)

I use two very tuff trashbags to make a bivi sack if I need it.

Yeah... right... and I am working on one that is even better then that one. I'll post a thread when it's done. If you want I can post the layout for you to make your own even before I finish mine.

Well JLP, What do you have left, I may have a few ways you can do it on the real cheap! You can even PM me about it if you like.
