We're clearly talking about day in/day out living in snow & rain, sleeping in shelters.
Please leave food, h2o, fuel (all consumables) and any skin weight out of the number.
Without my group WFR 1st Aid Kit (I work p/t as a backcountry guide), my winter base is...
28lbs.
What's yours? Hope everybody out there is having a great day!
