Ok, I know this is a bit off topic, but I need to bounce this off someone (or many someones, preferably). I'm headed out to Yosemite to do 6 days on the John Muir Trail (planning on no resupplies), but want to use my Vapor Trail. Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. Weights are approximate.
Vapor Trail pack
2 lbs
Cat's Meow bag
3 lbs
Bag liner (bag has little loft left)
.5 lbs
Fleece jacket
1 lb
Crocs (fording)
.75 lbs
Bear canister
2 lbs
Prolite 3 sleeping pad
1 lb
Cook kit (pepsi can stove, 3 cup pot, cozy, spork)
.5 lbs
Denatured alcohol
.5 lbs
Headlamp
.25 lbs
Thermals (top and bottom)
1.5 lbs
Winter hat
.25 lbs
Extra socks (smartwool, 1 pair)
.25
Precip jacket
.75 lbs
Instep crampons
1 lb
Nutshell gaiters (low)
.5
Tarptent squall 2
2 lbs
6 days food
12 lbs
1 liter water (in Perrier bottle)
1 lb
That's in the pack. I will be wearing shorts, a t-shirt, medium smartwools, trail runners, boxer briefs, and a Red Sox hat (absolutely necessary), plus my Lekis. That puts me at a 17.75 lb base and a total weight of 30.75 lbs. Am I forgetting something...? It feels like I am. :-?
Thanks guys!
