All, I would appreciate feedback – in particular from anyone who has done a cross-Scotland hike.
Depending on global pandemics, I would be looking to do this late spring/early summer
My pack is fairly light (lighter pack) : this is my summer pack – can I add/reduce anything?
- My camera/film stuff is carried in separate small waist pack (so not in my base weight?)
- I carry an MSR PR DLX stove for reliability – I do have BSR3000 but useless in wind.
- Do I need my 20F / -6C quilt and R5.2 sleeping pad? I sleep warm.
- Do I need extra layer of underclothing for hiking: temperature/emergencies.
- Bugs?
- I prefer light-hiking boots, but for the bog-hopping am I better with Altra’s?
- Extra pair of trousers?
- Would expect 1 resupply in the middle and likely will fast a couple of days as well.
- Is 3L water capacity enough or too much
There are a lot of people with experience of Scotland and the rest of the UK on the trek-lite forum. I suggest that you ask over there.
