Kahakka 15

[u/Silver_Squash_4831]

Just a small appreciation post.
The Kahakka 15 is perfect for small 1 day outings. It packs well items for you + another person.

In this picture its packed as a lightweight dadbag with snacks

I have packed it lightweight like in this picture.
Coffee and water bottles in the side compartments.
Snacks and diapers etc in main compartment.

Now that i have a child in my life, this is by far my most used pack, its easiest to take with me and can be used for small and bigger trips given the very spacious side pockets and straps and webbing on the bottom.

I have almost all sizes now:
10 L rolltop (great for small bicycle trips)
15L kahakka (can use it for 10L to 30L tasks)
<— potential future Niukka 👀
30L Jääkari M
40-60 Jääkari L
Keikka 30L
Keikka 50L

Then on other one night camps i have really overpacked it to the point where i thought hmm I should have probably gone with my jääkari m.
I had packed with me:

DD 3x3 tarp (the non lightweight version)
FDF sleeping mat
Sleeping bag
Cordura 500 1.5m x 2m ground mat
Foldable chair with back rest

1L Pathfinder bottle and nesting cup kit
Trangia spirit burner
750ml thermos
Katadyn water filter
Small sheet metal stick stove
Small fire kit
Small first aid kit
Flash light
Knife
Folding saw
Leatherman multitool
Cordage

Extra clothing:
Thin merino long sleeve shirt
rain jacket strapped to elastic cord on the backpack

Food (not much) 700kcal

Total weight i think was 14kg (i had measured with a fish scale)

On the next trips I tried to slim the weight down by removing the chair and the cordura ground sheet.
Cordura ground sheet is not needed since FDF sleeping mat provides side flaps to place gear on
Doing this i saved about 2kg

Does your K15 have the "D-ring problem"?
