This is mostly the gear I took to Philmont, and it's time I lightened some stuff. Now the Tent isn't going away, I usually take a hammock for summer stuff and during cooler months I split the tent with someone in my crew. Along with the tent, the sleeping bag isn't going away either. I plan on getting a ULA Circuit and along with other things dropping the Nalgenes. Gearlist on profile.
Forgot to mention, I do most of my backpacking in East TN and surrounding states in Fall/Winter/Some Spring.
Aug 6, 2010 at 10:38 pm #1635578Your list is confusing at best. It appears that half your weights are either missing or they are items that you are not bringing.
From the limited info you provided:
-Nix the mug and cup (4.6oz) and pick up something like the MSR Titan or SP 600 and save over 2oz.
-I can't believe that you do not treat or filter your water?
-Nalgenes are HEAVY. Consider soft sided Platypus' bottles. Save 10oz or so.
-Rain jacket is almost twice as heavy as some of the lighter option out there.
-Nix the cards and TP
-Headlamp is heavy.
-Nix the spare batteries. Put fresh ones in before you leave
-Firestarters are OTT– stick with a mini bic and matches.Your list is incomplete and thus it is impossible to really help you.
Aug 7, 2010 at 5:07 am #1635604Sorry about the empty spots. I just haven't gotten around to weighing somethings, I also know nalgenes are heavy and I AM going to replace them very soon. And as for treatment, I probably should have said that I do pretty much all my backpacking with my dad who always carries the treatment. I haven't weighed my worn stuff because it varies everytime I go out. The rain jacket is my bombproof jacket, and I'm working on a replacement. Again sorry about the incompleteness just thought I'd put it up.
