    For the Fish River Canyon and Drakensberg trip I have my cooking setup settled and there are some luxury items.

    - I am taking a Fozzils Snapbowl for when I need a bowl. Doubles as a cutting board. (fozzils.com/product-page/snapf). It fits nicely into the back stretch pocket of the backpack.

    - A long handle spork.

    - A Victorinox Soldier's knife. It has all the necessary utilities for emergencies. The made blade is serrated and sharp. I have used it in the past to even cut open tins. (amazon.es/-/en/Victorinox-Schw)

    - A spreading knife, because it works better than the pocket knife's big blade. It is my one luxury item.

    - All the cutlery items go into a small Hilltop tent stake bag. I purposely bought the one with the meat print. (hilltoppacks.com/products/tent)

    - MSR Pocket Rocket DLX. Slightly heavier than some other compact stoves, but it burns more efficiently, has a regulator and a piezo igniter. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    - Lightload Towel as a dish cloth. It is super lightweight, recycable and lasts for many days. (litesmith.com/lightload-towels/).

    - MSR Titan 900ml kettle. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ)

    - MSR Titan Double Wall mug 375 ml. It fits inside the kettle. (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    - All the cookware goes inside a Hilltop stuff sack, including one gas canister. (hilltoppacks.com/products/stuf)

    - I have one large food bag from Hilltop (hilltoppacks.com/collections/f) as well as 2nd snack bag. At this point I might take another Hilltop bag instead of the Sea to Summit drybag for the latter purpose.

    - As these hikes are in Southern Africa, a common practice is to eat rusks with morning coffee / tea. I keep these in a plastic container to prevent them from becoming crumbs.

    - My second luxury item is a Platypus 800ml wine bag, because we like to sip some red wine in the evening. When it is empty it rolls up really small (cascadedesigns.com/en-eu/produ).

    This whole setup is < 900g.

    I did not include a emergency matches or a lighter in this list as that will go into the emergency and first aid bag.

    I wasn't happy with the positioning of the shoulder pouch on my LiteAF pack. It was (1) too high, and (2) did not close well enough to keep 500ml bottle in place.

    So I opted to customise by using this stretchy water bottle pouch from Hilltop Packs. It comes in two sizes and I ordered the smaller version as I only want a smaller bottle. I also took the opportunity to use a photo from where I was standing in the Orange river between South Africa and Namibia.

    hilltoppacks.com/collections/a

    My suggestion to future buyers of bespoke LiteAF packs not to invoke the option of the shoulder pouch, but rather to buy an aftermarket version. Gossamer Gear also has a good product.

    For the outdoor person who apparently still needs more gear - customised titanium spork from Hilltop Packs.

    Finally after 11 months my Hilltop Packs' dry bags arrived. Not the fault of Hilltops, but USPS. The originals are now probably being sold on a street market in Egypt.

    Hilltops did me a replacement set.
