Usually I'm a 'breakfast cereal' type of person regarding the first meal of the day. But when I'm doing overnight #hiking I don't like to carry milk or other liquids, apart from water, due to the extra weight.

So instead I have things like this for #breakfast : #muesli bars, #nut bars , dried fruit such as #sultanas & #cranberries and #oat slices.

My new Companion 65 litre #hiking #backpack , with everything I need for 2 nights in the bush and about 2 days of hiking, including hiking #tent , sleeping bag, self inflatable sleeping mat, self inflatable pillow, food, 3+ litres of #water , first aid kit, etc. I've used the hiking tent with sleeping bag, and inflatable pillow and sleeping mat before and they have worked well together, so this 2 day hike will be more a test of me and the new backpack than anything else, in preparation for a 7 days or so remote camping trip using the same gear at the end of March.

The planned hike is the first overnight hike I'll have done in more than 20 years! It will start with my wife driving me to my first camp-site on Sabbath afternoon, and the next 2 days will include about 35km of hiking.
