Planning a little weekend getaway in a desert region this weekend. It's just an overnighter, but there's no water resources in the area. It's a 12 mile out and back with an 1800 elevation gain. I probably drink 3L of water a day on the trail, so that's 6L for the entirety, plus maybe 1L for cooking. That's 7L of water which will weigh 15.4lb on top of my baseweight, bringing my total pack weight to 28.9lbs.

Carrying a ton of water is shit. How do I fix this.
