+a few ounces that appear out of nowhere
7lbs, 8 oz
cold weather changes:
*+9.5 oz CAMP corsa nanotech ice ax
*+5.5 oz Western Mountaineering flight down fest
-3 oz noseeum netting
+ 1 oz emergency poncho
Total
+12 oz
I go with a narrow full-length sleeping pad so that I can avoid a groundcloth
For the UV pen, I found that, when thirsty, I would normally just drink the water and risk it rather than wait for it to purify.
Knife-I just want a single, non-folding sharp piece of metal with a case.
iPod--heavy, but worth it, especially given the solitude I'll have on a PCT sobo
clothes- I pretty much never use raingear unless it gets below 45 or so, then it's cold enough that I don't sweat too much under an emergency poncho
I'm hoping to get everything I need (including replacement shoes/socks) for under $1200
