    Mike – 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?

    I 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.
