Gear Total - 21 lb 6.45 oz
Pack total - 17 lb 3.15 oz (total gear weight and pack, minus the clothes/boots I will be wearing and the poles)
Water weight would be
3 liter, 100 oz = 6 lb 4 oz
2 liter, 70 oz = 4 lb 6 oz
1 liter, 34 oz = 2 lb 2 oz
Hopefully will not have to carry 6 lbs of water while hiking but its nice to have the ability just in case. Water is one of the few items I dont mind having too much of, just in case.
Two items I am thinking of replacing
1) Skareb with a Go-lite Jam 2, - 1 lb 6 oz (saves me 2 lb 3 oz)
2) MSR Microzoid with the Traptent Contrail, 1 lb 8.25 oz (saves me 1 lb 5.75 oz) The tarp tent would save room due to not having poles and its lighter material so it will compact to a smaller size.
Not sure on these yet, still need to try them out.
Bought a better scale, was able to weigh each item seperate but looks like the old scale lied! Will be redoing a few items later, gloves and such later to kill some weight. Looks like I might miss my 25 lb goal weight when I add food/water to the numbers - looks more like a touch under 27 lbs, less then 17% of my body weight .
Sorry had to pull this down from the top, wouldnt let me edit the first one anymore. Just changed out the pack to a Go-Lite, not sure if it will stay this way but walking around the house it feels pretty good. saved 2 lb 3.80 oz doing this.
