Equipment: The 'Bed'

Just got my sleeping bag yesterday. Yup, I'm starting to 'accumulate' the jungle gear bit by bit.

Equipment: Rucksack

Got my rucksack today. The process of selecting one that fit was pretty traumatising due to my weird body built, couldn't find one with snug shoulder pads. They either hurt the nape of my neck, or were too large to for my shoulders.

It took me a pain-staking 1.5 hours to choose this.

Had initially aimed for a 45L one, but none fit. Those by Deuter fit badly, and ended up forking a fortune for a Karrimor, Cougar 65 rucksack.

Most may think that I paid a hefty sum for it, to which I agree to a certain extent. But, comfort and a good-fit is of primary concern to me. Hence, I settled for this.

And since I'm now embarking on a 5 weeker instead of a 10 weeker, I have some funds to spare. So why not?

Total damage: RM700
