At long, long last! I appear to have developed a three-season gear list whose base pack weight (BPW) is under 10 lb!
Still, I need feedback. Tell me, oh wise ones with much more experience/knowledge than I: how does my gear list look?
A few caveats. First, I've just finished seam-sealing the Notch, and haven't reweighed it. Second, I've two Food Storage options that I've not listed (BearVault 450, 33 oz; ZPacks Blast bag + Z-Line Slick dyneema cord, 1 oz)– I vary my choice from hike to hike, but go with the UrSack as a default. Third, if I expect cool weather, I take a Sierra Designs down vest (7.3 oz) and a pair of Montbell Dynamo wind pants (2.8 oz). Fourth, I've not included the weight of my fuel canister (SnowPeak GigaPower 110, 6.4 oz), as I consider that a "consumable"– just like food/water. Fifth, I've not shown the weight of my clothes/hat/trekking poles, as I figure that stuff is inconsequential when determining BPW.
I've left these optional choices out of the list, perhaps to satisfy my UL delusions. And it's also worth pointing out that I weighted everything on my old analogue kitchen scale, so listed weights may be off.
Here, then, is my list:
