Autumn (Fall) Base Weight   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2523 of 3599 |
G'day

In light of a recent discussion on weights, I took a bit of look at
what I carry and pruned it back a bit. Came out at 10.8 kg (23.81
lbs) before food and water. This an autumn/winter weight and I am
carrying a full length Gore-tex jacket for rain protection and a rain
cover as a pack swim is likely. If this was full winter I would
probably add a pair of long fleece pants and a warmth layer. I am
also carrying a tent but could get rid of that if I slept in the hut,
but I prefer to sleep in my tent.

Not in Rick's league but I am interested in how that compares to
other lightweight or heavyweight backpackers here.

Regards
Andrew, Sir
