TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

note we recommend use all of our products in conjunction to get proper and balanced nutrition


Because eating only a backback would be unbalanced - it's much more healthy to consume a sleeping back as well, for a balanced diet?

Just tear off a few handfuls of your SnackSack and toss them into your cook pot for a truly delicious one pot meal.


Even suits the 'just add water' mob, by the sound of it.

Still, I'm not sure my apetitie would be up to an entire sleeping bag, and an entire sleeping mat, and the remains of a backback all in one day!

From the FAQs, the key to it all :wink::

Question: If I eat my pack, how do I get home?

Answer: It's necessary to take care in ordering the consumption of your trail gear. Hikers normally consume the pack last (although they might save a trekking pole for the hike out).


I like versatility, so the idea of being able to drink your stove fuel has merit :lol:!

Heh. We take stuff to drink that could be USED as stove fuel.

Good for disinfecting, and removing sticky stuff like tape, too!

It would be funny to get a bit of sleeping back stuck in your teeth... or start choking on a bit of tarp stap. :lol:
