http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u363/Platypus_2016/kit%20bag%20on%20truck_zpshl8vdtv4.jpg (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/Platypus_2016/media/kit%20bag%20on%20truck_zpshl8vdtv4.jpg.html)
LUXURY:
Helinox Chair one (1.8lbs... get over it lol, I wanted a chair SO bad last year I decided to make the room for it)
http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u363/Platypus_2016/Mobile%20Uploads/received_10101013502689984_zpslicbqlsf.jpeg (http://s1064.photobucket.com/user/Platypus_2016/media/Mobile%20Uploads/received_10101013502689984_zpslicbqlsf.jpeg.html)
My total pack weight with everything including 4-5 days food and 1 liter of water is 30.6lbs, not including my kit bag (wears across chest, it weighs 2.4lbs)
Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I am pretty sure that everything I have listed here is going to come, might not last long, but please point anything out you see fit to, it might make me reconsider. BUT BUT BUT.... the chair will not be staying at home, it is the ONE thing I am taking as a luxury item that has weight to it in my opinion, I don't have a flask, so there is my trade off lol.
