My Lightweight backpacking kit for the Skye Trail in Scotland

Ойын-сауық

This was everything I needed for a backpacking trip to Scotland on the Isle of Skye. It may not be ULTRAlight but it was lightweight enough for me and more importantly it was comfortable to carry. The first video in the Skye Trail series will be out soon so if you'd like to be notified when it drops feel free to subscribe and click the bell icon below. Also I forgot to mention the backpack itself which is the Osprey Exos

    I've got my backpack down to 14kg all in (4 days of food and 2l water incl). I'm in my tent as I type. I know that if I were to forego my luxury items and become ever so minimalist the load I bear could be reduced significantly. But, I love a bit of luxury. So, instead, I just do fewer miles and take more time. 😊

    Video idea: COW TIPS I could have been trampled by a herd of cows after they ran at me. A HAZE COW TIPS video could save someone's life: I was walking on a public footpath recently and my way was blocked by a herd of cows at a gate. I could find no way around due to thick hedges. After a while, although very unsure and with low confidence, I bravely climbed the gate and carefully shooed the cows out the way which worked. Once clear of the cows I thought how clever it would be to run down the field away from the cows. How wrong I was. The whole herd turned and ran after me. I sprinted over the uneven hoof churned ground. I could easily have fallen and then been trampled. I was surprised how fast they ran and that they ran all the way down the field (downhill) to my exit. I leapt over the style at the other end. Afterwards I realised I had hurt my foot on the uneven ground. Later KZread research told me you should never run from cows because they will run after you. I never knew that! Based on my experience it felt like they were trying to run me out of the field and would have run over me if I had fallen. My injured foot could have been a twisted ankle on the uneven ground and I consider myself lucky to have got out without being trampled.

    Cows are very curious and VERY fast runners as you've discovered. In my youth, I did a lot of roadwork along miles of country lanes. The cows used to run along beside me, hundreds of them, I'm glad there were stone walls between us.

    I cheered/waved/fist-pumped when we got to the bread bags! I thought you maybe had done away with those after we saw the coop bag. I have a few empty bread bags in my general doom piles, but I might not need them because I got some money for boots and a coat: I ended up buying boots, not managed to sort out a new coat yet . How long did it take you to buy all that kit!? It must be quite expensive. I should have pulled my finger out and entered the raffle.

    I use an ageing Talon 33 for multi-day hikes - just done the final 6 days of a long-term LE to JoG effort. Size wise it is OK. The only problem is the the straps dig in to your shoulders as it's not designed for the weight. So I am looking for something slightly bigger for more comfort - without breaking the bank!
