(with stuff sack it weighs in at almost 6 pounds on my scale for some reason - obviously the sack isn't 1.5 pounds so maybe my bag is a fair amount heavier than advertised). also, i just weighed the food and water that i did have included in the 34 pounds and that was about 4 pounds so that would put the weight of my kit with no food, water, or sled down to about 22. and this contains all of my clothing, including what i'll be wearing even in the warmest weather.<BR/><BR/>at any rate, i'd love to hear a weight comparison of your kit not including any food and water.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238385683129822240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-30903635763386092962008-02-12T23:54:00.000-09:002008-02-12T23:54:00.000-09:00Hmmm. 26 still seems like too much.

That puts my gear at 26, which will probably be more like 30-32 once all food and water is included. does that seem reasonable to you pete? there are a few areas that i could save some weight but nothing that I would be too excited about leaving behind.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238385683129822240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-42472901671865338232008-02-12T19:07:00.000-09:002008-02-12T19:07:00.000-09:00That sounds like a lot of gear.
