This is something I wouldn`t mind trying. I`ve watched the vid below a few times and there are a few more on YT along similar lines. Just wondering if anyone else uses them ?
I`m sort of edging towards minimal purely because when carrying a large pack it sometimes gets tiring/uncomfortable and I`m concentrating on putting one foot in front of another instead of taking in the surroundings. Last week I went for a walk and took just a small day pack with the bare essentials in, I hardly noticed it on my back. There`s also the possible advantage that I`d be relying on skills rather than extra kit
