ILBE Rucksack Dump

     Today, I just wanted to quickly show y'all what my pack looks like when it's fully packed. This was for a single overnight trip, with temps in the mid 20 degree range.

ILBE Packing List

Gear in my ILBE rucksack for a winter overnighter.

Next row, Left to right:

2. Condor Water Bottle Carrier.
It contains a fire kit, a few emergency supplies, a buddy burner, Olicamp cup, homemade 1 quart Billy can, and 40 oz stainless steel water bottle.

Bottom, Right side:

1. Blue sack: My food bag. Contains all of my food, utensils, etc.

2. White sack: Homemade tyvek stuff sack, with a cheap 6x8 tarp inside.

3. Large red bag: Clothes bag. This contains all of the spare clothes that I might need. It always has extra socks, a warm hat, gloves, and thermals.

4. Green sack: Shelter kit. This is a stuff sack containing a 5'X6' ground cloth, 6 tent pegs, a ridgeline, and enough paracord to pitch my tarp shelter.

5. Small red bag: Personal hygiene kit. Contains toothbrush, babywipes, etc.

Not shown: Water. I took 1 gallon with me on this particular trip. That's 8 pounds right there. I have to get a water filter.

Pocket and belt contents. I had a knife, compass, and a few other things on my person. I will go into more detail on those items soon.

So, what do y'all carry for an overnighter?
