While I was researching packs for a 100km endurance hiking challenge, my interest in how we organise our gear gave birth to Pack Config, a place that inspires its readers to improve their own packs. What I carry, either daily or out on a hike, is constantly being refined as I discover new methods and products.
The unpredictable UK weather provides a constant challenge for my packing decisions. I enjoy every form of walking from woodland discovering with my wife and son, to long distance hiking across the local Downs. I had the privilege of deploying with Team Rubicon UK at the end of 2015 as a photographer/mud-shoveller and was humbled and impacted by the calibre and attitude of the whole team. I also take every opportunity I get to pursue my bushcraft techniques.

10,993. That’s our total social following right now. For our 1,000th post I’d thought I would answer the question I get asked all the time, why Pack Config?
Pack Essentials: Mini ML
A FOURSEVENS light of some kind has been with me for four years and has well and truly earned its place on my essential gear list.
Recycled Firefighter Wallet
Rising from the ashes of its previous career comes the battle-hardened RF Sergeant. But can this wallet live up to the heroic deeds of its past?
Every Day Carry: Editor
While EDC is not our usual topic of business, what we carry in our pockets does define what we decide to pack…
Pack Essentials: Survival Blankets
The next in my list of affordable essentials; the survival/child’s-fort-making blanket.
Pack Essentials: Rigger’s Rubber Bands
Meet the most effective baby-proofing device I’ve found. It’s also pretty good at other things…
Pack Essentials: Gorilla Tape
This troop of tape made my list of useful and affordable items.
Pack Essentials: Stormproof Matches
A match that keeps burning in the face of adversity made my list of useful and affordable items.
Pack Essentials: Grimloc D-Ring
This versatile clip made my list of useful and affordable items I can personally recommend.
Pack Essentials: Petzl TacTikka* Headtorch
I am creating a growing list of useful and affordable items that I can recommend from my own personal experience. Anything I post up will have spent time in my pack; joining me for specific trips or being carried with me every day.
