UL 3 season 1 week

Just made a few adjustments: Adjusted First List

Hey y’all-

Made a few more adjustments, added a trowel. Jed’s list

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially on what pack volume would work for my this gear and 1 week of food.

I hope all is well out there,

Jed

Hey Jed,

First of all, nice gearlist.

I wouldn't be able to guess at what size pack you would need; but I can tell you that your listed gear would easily fit in an Exodus with one week supply of food. Depending on what kind of food you pack, it would probably pack to about where the rolltop expansion area on the Exodus begins. That is just a guess based on similar sized gear I pack in the Exodus.

Would that make the Exodus too big for you? I'm not sure.

List changed again. Main change? Realized the I need to ditch the Gatewood Cape, so I'm looking to retool my shelter system.

Craig-

It seems from your estimates that the Exodus would definitly be too big, but you say you aren't sure. What am I not considering?

Jed, I'm thinking like Craig. I have a gear list that I'm going to say looks to be about like yours… 5.5 lb base. I'm using a MLD Prophet (smaller than exodus) and it is not even full to the roll top with a couple of days of food in it. I'd could probably get a week of food if I used the full extension collar.

For shelter I use a ID Silponcho and a MLD superlight bivy.

Jamie

Sorry, Jed.

What I meant was more of a question for you. Some people would prefer not to pack above the extension collar, where others might prefer to do so.

Frameless packs can be tricky things to pack; and one packing style may ride well on one person, but awful on another.

Personally, I prefer not to pack above the extension collar; so in your case, an Exodus would NOT be too big for me.
