>>961808I understand that OP wants to head out with 7 lbs of water, a 6 lb bagged sleeping bag (Inb4down) a Leatherman, a roll of duct tape and reference books. In Alice, he's already past 20 lbs.
I understand my old timberlite 3 weighed 6 lbs.
I understand that food weight is variable.
I understand that if someone is carrying a USB flash drive, 2 bandanas, and towel, and a zero degree bag, he's not smart enough to minimize weight, and will likely exceed 50 lbs once the tendies, ham radio and vidya are packed.
