I weighed every individual item in my pack. Here is what I will be hauling to Maine... GoLite Odyssey Women's pack 3lb 5oz Big Agnes Superlight Seedhouse 3lb *Big Agnes SL footprint 8oz Sierra Designs Solar Flare 15 Degree long bag with Granite Gear Air Compressor 3.5lb Sea to Summit silk liner 3.7oz Big Agnes Insulated Air Core pad 24oz *Big Agnes UL Cyclone chair kit 5oz Thermarest small compressible pillow 6.1oz JetBoil stove w/ insulated cup 14oz ONE JetBoil cannister 6.5oz Sea to Summit pocket towel 4oz 50' paracord 4oz Small UL AMK first aid/gear repair kit 7oz 3L Camelbak reservoir 7oz...(empty wt unfortunately) Steripen w/ prefilter 7.5oz 46oz Nalgene canteen 2oz Sea to Summit UL folding bucket 3.5oz Princeton Tec Eos headlamp 2.5oz Etowah Gear Syl Nylon pack cover 3.5oz Sierra Designs UL Isotope rain jacket 7oz (listed as 4.6oz)!

Guide 7.8oz Journal/pen/Iphone/misc items approx 1.5lb Granite Gear UL 20L drysack w/ 4-5 days of food 6lb 0oz Leki Super Makalu poles So this adds up to 453.6oz or 28.35lbs. Unfortunately, this weight does not include water. And because we are so fortunate to be drowning in it this season, I will most likely only carry one liter at a time. The items with asterisks are items I will most likely remove, reduce, or replace with a lighter version....if not now, probably a few days up the trail. |

alright ive studied your gear and hear are some ideas on how to even lighten your load a little more if you would like.
ReplyDelete1. Ditch your pillow. Instead, Put your mont bell jacket into the stuffsack it came with, and you will have an amazeing pillow that serves more than one use.
2. Dont use the steripen. they are bulky and prone to presenting many malfunctions. I really suggest useing aquamira. its light wieght and you cant taste it. The stuff is amazeing...
3. you can really get by with out rain pants. It doesnt matter if you are wearing them.....you are still going to get wet.
4. The nalgene cantene could be shed as well with out causeing to many problems. with your bucket you can store water while your at camp, and with your bladder you can store plenty of drinking water.
5. as for clothes, you really only need one base layer. it will smell bad after a while.....but youll get used to it haha.
Thats all i can think of off the bat. pack looks good haha. hope these sugestions help.
