Morgans pack list

[spartan3659]

Monday I'm headed out for training and will be 4 hrs away from home. Trying to pattern my pack after Morgan's. Any ideas other than those mentioned ?

[unseenone]

Where are you heading? 4 hours by car, is about 200 miles or so right? That's almost the distance Morgan traveled in the book.

Headed to a Glock Armorer School.

You will love it. The best thing besides the "grip" you learn to take down the pistol, is that you get to buy at discounted prices not only parts but guns as well.

I know you know about water filters. Water is most important, guns come next. Be sure to have a good filter/purifier with you. If TSHF, stay to the back roads and don't forget your map. Just to be safe, you better pack everything but the kitchen sink. Good luck, I know I am always nervous to be away from home.

Got my Katadyn Hiker Pro. Just know I'm forgetting something.

GB, I used mine this weekend to cook on, grilled a nice trout. Don't know why it took so long to put together, maybe cause you're upside down there in the land of Oz. It is a cool piece though and I use mine a lot.

I just received mine as well - very nice - so much more cooking space than the standard hiking grills.
But, have you tried/found anything to quiet the rattle of the pieces inside the tube?

[angeryamerican]

I've never noticed any rattle. If it were me I'd think a packing peanut stuffed in the top would quiet it.

[unseenone]

Stuff it with lint, or a spare cleaning rag.

So....what's in the side pockets?

Edited to add: I have several of the Lifestraws in my GHB. These probably aren't sufficient, huh?

[Bumper]

Is this thread continued somewhere else? The gear included in the side pockets does not appear here.....

[kyle_kyle_p]

i couldn't find any updates either

What about a sleeping bag? Mentioned in book but don't see it in the article.

Furthermore...

Sleeping bag is part of the Military ECWS Sleep System. The entire system consists of 1. GOR-TEX Bivy Shell, 2. Cold Weather Sleeping Bag, 3. Mild Weather "patrol bag" by itself good to about 30 degrees F. All three combined are rate to well below zero degrees. In the book, the patrol bag and the GOR-TEX Bivy shell were mentions as were a Military Poncho and the Poncho Liner (aka "woobie"). That's a lot of gear, but perfect in that environment.

Futhermore, used systems in a variety of conditions can be had for $75 to $120. New they are in the $325-$375 range. Sportsman's Guide has similar style but I have not used these and don't know their ratings/quality.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant I didn't see it in the equipment list for Morgans Bag Part 1 or 2. But thanks for the explanation. I went online today and found one for about $60.
