Now lets take a look at the contents of the main compartment. Inside the top flap is a 100oz water bladder. You can see the two quart GI canteen and the one quart, with cup and stove inside the cover.
This small bag was discontinued by Maxpedtion and the closest thing to it now is the Proteus. The small bag beside the pack is the Maxpedition Devildog. With that in mind let's take a look at the pack. This is one of the primary reasons Morgan set his daily distance goal so low, better to over achieve and gain the psychological boost it would give than to set the goal so high as to be unattainable and never be met. Sure he might find some supplies on the road, but he wasn't counting on it. In the book Morgan has a long walk ahead of him and he knows that he will be totally self reliant upon the pack. What is heavy to you or I may not be to someone else. Is it heavy? Yes, but there are a number of variables that go into what is considered heavy.
One of the most common things I hear about the bag is that it would be so heavy no one could carry it. Take TP for a moment, you can use leaves, Mullien leaves are one of the finest of field expedient ass wipes, but isn't it easier to carry a small roll? Certainly you can do without, but it is usually easier to have to proper item or tool for the task at hand. However, I also believe that having the proper equipment to ensure your survival is equally important. I am a firm believer in the old adage of the more you know the less you need, you cannot loose, misplace or break knowledge. The pack as about to be described is not for everyone, but it is for me for the scenario described in Going Home. Additionally, I'll link to a thread on the forum where you can go and follow the discussion and comment.īefore we get started though I want to say something about the pack. This should be interesting as there has been a lot of talk about the contents of the pack. I will go into detail about the equipment carried and why. This will be a series of articles as one will not cover it all. It's been a long time in coming and there has certainly been a lot of talk about it, but now we're going to take a look at the contents of Morgan's pack as carried in Going Home.
