I was thinking about 60L's (for clothing, com's, cooking, hygiene, spares) plus my sleep set up and then selection of tools, couple 3L hydration bladders (one for daily use, both once camping in Kaz/Mongolia), some sort of storage for my DSLR camera.
Am I missing huge amounts of kit or just underestimated stuff??
I have done a fair amount walking in the UK from campsite to campsite since the age of about 12/13 carrying my own kit my motorbike holiday packing has always just been my walking setup chucked in to some panniers! Looking at the amount of storage others are taking Im feeling a bit worried now!

That is one of the 64 million dollar question's. Some can manage on a plastic card and a packet of fag's. Other's need the kitchen sink. There is no set amount. Tip take less than you need in clothes, and more in spare's. You can alway's get kit to wear. But a 10mm ring spanner or a bike chain, is going to be harder to find.
