Last February I went through several iterations to reduce my base weight via this forum. I got down to around 16.5 lbs including a Garcia bear cannister. This past summer I hiked the Rae Lakes Loop CC taking 4 days and I was carrying about 25 lbs max. Is this in the ballpark for a late August Sierra trip? I know many of you are hiking the Sierra's. How much are you carrying totally?
