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.

A new beginning…
I’m very pleased (and relieved) to present to you the updated Pack Config site!
Quick & Dirty Stag EDC
Here’s what I carried in my pockets for the Stag Party I mentioned previously. The paracord bracelet was the only thing not used, and it’s there for backup anyway.
Loadout: Quick & Dirty Stag Pack
Last weekend I attended one of my best mates stag parties. After having a ‘crowd safe’ loadout for the day, I swapped it around to this for the evening of bonfires, BBQing and other antics.
Pack Essentials: GITD Markers
A large majority of safety products on the market ooze with un-coolness. But glow in the dark is always cool, which is why these markers made by Ru-Titley Knives are a great addition to any pack.
Pack Essentials: Mechanix Gloves
Enough of our user submitted posts feature Mechanix Wear gloves that they stand out as a favourite choice.
Loadout: TR Deployment
In the wake of Storm Desmond, Team Rubicon UK launched Operation: Wordsworth to assist affected residents in Keswick. I had the honour of joining the team and here’s what I packed…
Pack Essentials: Laplander
A forester in your pocket, the Bahco Laplander is an essential for anyone planning to spend any amount of time in a forest.
Review: GORUCK Bullet 10L
GORUCK is not really a brand of rucksack. It is a brand that describes a lifestyle. When I got hold of this 10L Bullet, little did I know, my packing style was about to change.
Loadout: Editor Bushcraft Pack
This summer I went on a 3 Day Bushcraft Course. Here’s what my loadout looked like.
Pack Essentials: ClimbOn
Blisters happen. There are endless tips and options for avoiding them and even ways to keep walking on them if they do rear their ugly heads. But this tropical smelling balm really helps sweeten the healing process.
