    Im using the Aldi knock off for work, it has copped a hammering & still going fine.
    Also use them anywhere we need to carry them around for hours on end.

    They will be going in the truck for all our long distance trips.

    Very good option in my eye's

    Cheers

    Really like the concept of this, keeping everything very light and very simple. You've obviously already got the pop-top, but I use a hennessy Hammock out bush. Built for the jungle and perfect for the tropics. Worls brilliantly in the cold too. Doesn't seem like you will need anything like that heading to Europe though lol.

    I think if you just take a "less is more" approach to your defender you will yield better results. People tend to seek innovative ways of loading their defender rather than innovative ways of taking less stuff with them.

    I see people with huge water tanks and stuff strapped to their rig. A good potential saving is replacing a certain amount of hard shell water holdings (jerry cans or tanks) with a means of water purification, and keeping a collapsible water bag for the few stretches where you may need to carry a lot more.

    Just food for thought.

    Haha maybe water is a bad example because it's a survival essential and not a luxury!

    There are probably some savings to be made with cooking gear (the way I see it, I'd be trying to eat local where ever I went if I could, all part of travelling), and probably tools too.

    A toolkit that could do a few things like change a wheel bearing, plus some other tricks would be pretty compact.
