5954 13lb2ozJan 30, 2009 at 7:20 pm #1474180Mike – Your list is sort of unclear for any kind of review. Try to organize it by catagory. And separate the BASE WEIGHT from the PACK WEIGHT and CONSUMABLES.
Questions:
1. Are these weights in grams?
2. Three days where? What's the weather? Where are you planning to go? Solo or with a partner?
3. Are the consumables mixed in with the pack-weight data (like oil?)? And, the clothing worn should be a separate total?
4. Questions and feedback about the items below..
ti fry pan 120 – Fry Pan for a 3 day trip??? No need. Nix it.
spatula 22 – No fry pan, no spatula. Nix it.
salt/pepper 21 – Pre spice all your food – Nix it.
water pills 19
sm bic 10
matches 14
oil 63 – for what? Is this a consumable, for eating?
jungle juice 66 – is this bug repellant?
BA chair 177 – A chair? Remember, this is a specilized LIGHTWEIGHT website…
fox socks/ 3pair 2 pair 174 – How may pair? For 3 days, 2 pair is plenty, one for hiking, one for sleeping.
UA briefs/2pair 2 pair 160 – Two pair? One is perfectly fine.
pillow 212 – 212 grams for a pillow? BPL sells a 28 gm inflatable. Or, just use your platypus.
Platypus water bottles 61 – Bottle or bottles? A 2 liter platy is all you need unless you are in death valley.
towels 72 – What are these for?
petzel 70 – Is this a head lamp?
Jan 31, 2009 at 9:56 am #1474288I have made some changes to the list. This will be used on the JMT between Yosemite and Mammoth. Fly fishing gear will also be added. I will use the bear can as a chair, either my Garcia or I will buy a lighter one.
