Well, here it is, the obligatory gear picture. I’ve actually been slowly working on this for three years, learning, shakeout hikes, etc. Total base weight is heavier than I would like, 22 lbs. There are a number of things I would change to get the weight down. I think with a different pack and sleeping quilt I could lose another 5 pounds but the $500 it would cost is just not worth it. So, taking that base weight and my worst case food and water load the most I’ll be carrying for 1 day is around 40 pounds. I can handle that.🤪
