MMM_2012: kit list

	A	B	C	D	E
1	ITEM	MODEL	WEIGHT	POSSIBLE SAVING?	THOUGHTS
2	Bag	Haglofs tight 30L	695	280	Sits well, but no mesh pockets or bungee. Thinking Lowe LightFlite28 with my winnings.
3	Mat	foam - shoulder to hip	77	-23	No good when you have limited movement to get a good spot. May try a balloon bed next time.
4	Dry bag	exped	105	80	Bin bag a lot lighter...but this is dependable and less fragile.
5	Sleeping bag, pillow, dry bag	MH Phantom 32 /poundland /exped	760	150	Zero degree bag borrowed, very cosy! 4-5 degree down bag would be a bit lighter if I invest in one - Thinking PHD minimus /MH Phantom 45
6	Down Vest	PHD minimus	258		Excellent. Ultra pullover has arms if you prefer...my mate loved his on the HRP recently.
7	3/4 leggings	Icebreaker GT	147		Dry/warm layer for camp or running (with shorts over...slightly more revealing than some)!
8	Socks	Icebreaker ankle	58		Fresh socks for camp and to run in next day
9	Water bottle & holder	Camelbak podium /lifeventure	123	50	Would save 50g on the holder if bag had accessible mesh pockets.
10	Pot, lighter, foil windsheild	MSR titan kettle	145		Foil burns through but does the job for one night.
11	Gas	MSR 133g	244		Coleman is optimum shape if looking to fit stove in pot also. Primus small can weighs 199g
12	Stove & case	MSR pocket rocket	113	27	Great stove, 86g without case. Optimus Crux looks neat too.
13	Spork	Plastic - red	10		Don't bring a translucent green spork to a field like our neighbour
14	FAK - required items + tables + alco gel + toothbrush		130	10	I like to brush my teeth if nothing else. I also think steri-strips and fluoroscene eye stain are useful to have and literally weigh nothing. Pin & compeed too. Could put in a freezer bag rather than FAK pack. Partner had survival bag.
15	Head torch	Petzl tikka	77		Perfect for around camp. Can walk with it too, but we're in long before dark...lots of smaller options would do (e-lite, sika...)
16	Gloves	Extremities thicky grippy	77		Functional when on, but not used this time. Could have brought liners based on weather.
17	Buff		37		Didn't use... counts as hat.
18	WP Jacket	Montane Venture	436	220	Very breathable, wore all second day even when sun came out and climbing. Montane Minimus/Litespeed over 200g lighter.
19	WP Trousers	Montane DT stretch	272	70	Worn at camp. Light enough. Could save a bit of weight/space. OMM overtrousers look brilliant cut for running.
20	Penknife	classic SD	30	30	Multi-purpose, perhaps unnecessary, but small and comforting.
21	iPod	Shuffle	28	28	Essential. I got zero sleep so was glad of this to take my mind off the pains and long hours.
22	Tent pole & pegs	Laser comp	200		My share of that. Not sure of weight but not much at all.
23
24	Sub-total		4022
25	Food		1400
26	Water		750	250	Enough streams and was nice and cool.
27	TOTAL		6172	1172
28
29
30	LEFT OUT
31	Spare top		198		First day was to be dry, knew other top would dry quickly if a bit damp. Needed space & ditch weight.
32	phone		100		Partner was bringing one so that covered 'safety'. I can happily do without for 2 days.
33	spare buff/hat		37		Again, to be dry and not too cold so just ditched some last minute weight.
34					Keys, money, all that stuff can be left behind!
35
36	WORE
37	Trail shorts	Ronhill
38	LS zip top	Rab
39	Cycle cap	Yellow!
40	Socks	Icebreaker ankle
