I managed to finally get some money back on some fabric i bought last year to make down quilts for my hammock, turns out it leaks down like a sieve!!
Anyway i just bought this pannier bag set to do me until i can get some cash for cordura and make my own saddle pack and bar bags.

Should be big enough for most of my kit lol. Need a (75l bergen)
Will be easier when i have down bags and dont need so much space for my kit.

75l bergen

How long are you going for?

Bushcraft things I have never taken on a bike = (i.e. Leave this stuff at home)

Axe
Knife
Lamp
Wooly Jumpers
Any exMil Clothing
Parachord
Rifle
Spare Knife
Folding Saw
4x4
Cast Iron Dutch Ovens

Those panniers look like good value, just don't be tempted to fill 'em, less is more.

Axe - dont carry one anyway
Knife -WHAT??? never leave home without it!!!
Any exMil Clothing - i live in combats and ex army gear.
Parachord - i use dyneema.
Folding Saw -I need mine for wood collection, i have a wild woodgas stove
4x4 - lol i hope you mean tarp, i could not fit my Mitsubishi Pajero in those pouches lmao

i need the 75L due to the pack size of my sleeping bag and underquilt for my hammock.
When i get Down gear it will all easily go into a 45L bag.

Oddly, I've never required a saw (folding or otherwise) to snap fallen twigs if / when I'm cooking with wood ... I can only assume I am a super strong man of the mountains.

I like to use bigger pieces that i cant break by hand.
Then processed down using my knife to batton it into nice thick pieces, thats what burns best with my stove.
I can use finger size sticks/twigs but they burn out too fast and then require re feeding the stove. They also make a lot more ash that blocks the air holes.
