I could use another pair of socks in there, more water, more food, bin bag, trowel and my toothbrush. But you get the gist of it.

All in it comes to about 14kg. I could strip it back by opting for a ultralight waterproof, tent and sleeping bag instead of the hammock, but I feel the hammock setup makes me ready for any weather, and if I'm using a kelly kettle I already want to be near trees, so the hammock seems like the natural choice.
