That's a fine pack weight for 3 days without water. A lot of hikers would love to be at that point. As long as you have double checked you gear and everything is there, you'll have a fun trip!

Sweet! Ain't hiking lite great? If you are like me you will look for ways to go even lower. Still I know the feeling I had when I broke the 15lb range for my base weight. I'm currently at 12.0 Feels oh so good. Happy Trails--- Two Tents.
good stuff. If you want post your gear list and maybe we can make some recommendations to drop you further if you want.
What is your skin out weight?

im happy with my weight right now. and if i had my summer bag it would be lower.what about skin lol
So what about skin weight? My hiking clothes tend to be heavier than most, but my pack tends to be alot lighter, for what might end up being the same skin out weight.

The problem with skin weight is the pain of removing and weighing it and then the additional pain of sewing it back on. . .
