PA… Darn, I was hoping you were from Nor. Cal. :(
LOL
Ok, I’ll bite… (Since I won’t comment on your gear) 6lb of food for 6 days… Calories per day? May I ask what is your exact Food list. :)
If it is more than GORP and Oatmeal…
AND
around 3000cals…
Post it, because I would love to know. I average 1.4lbs at 3000cals.
My 3d/2n “Dream” Super Ultralight Gear list is 4lbs 2.75oz w/fuel… and with your food and water it could be below 10lbs.LOL :D

No, my food is nothing beyond what you mentioned and not fancy (plus less calories needed). I am always keeping my eyes open for revolutionary food or dehydrated water :)

Thanks!
