Chopping a bit more weight, advice from the experts?

Before answering id like to know at how much weight you would like to drop and around how much would you like to spend

how much weight you would like to drop and around how much would you like to spend

Losing the camera, tripod and GPS dropped 21.8oz and cost nothing. :^)

Interesting that this is the exact weight of the Zpacks Duplex with stakes and stuff sack, which was about $600… grrrrr!

Reminds me of the “Seinfeld” Even Steven episode… in reverse… I paid for and still own the camera, tripod and GPS, which together cost about $600… double grrrrr!…

Edit link… Link’s links always link, but not mine.

You should be able to find individual packets of antibiotic ointment at cvs/Walgreens. They have bacitracin individually wrapped at my local cvs. There's no reason to get the triple antibiotic one in particular.

I'm about to try a Trailpix to replace a tripod. If you use trekking poles already, it's a very lightweight way to use a tripod on the trail. I haven't tried it for long exposure astrophotography yet, but it feels pretty darn stable to me.
Check it out.
