What's the weight of your BIG FOUR?

[TRAUMAhead]

Summer Sierras and Winters in Death Valley.

37.20 oz '11 ULA Circuit (all options removed except mesh pocket)
33.20 oz Tarptent Moment (w/o stakes and seam sealed)
33.60 oz Rab Summit 500 (15*, 1/2 zip bag)
16.40 oz Exped Synmat UL7 (w/o stuff sack or repair kit)

120.4 oz/7.52 lbs total.

Switching to a quilt next season which will cut half a pound. Probably add a 1/8 pad to the Synmat, wish I could get away with just foam. Don't really see myself going the Tarp/pyramid route any time soon, although the Hexamid looks very appealing. Circuit size is perfect for a bear can or multiple gallons of water.

sorry tuswm..i mis-read the specs ...it's the 20* quilt/bag...3/4 zipper, no hood...17oz

[tuswm]

that is still like half the weight of my 20* bag.

I'm just in the planning stages now but here is the list for my planned gear purchases:Pack: SMD Starlite- 24ozTent: Lightheart SoLong 6- 26ozStakes: Easton Aluminum (6)- 2ozBag: REI Sub Kilo 20- 30ozPole: Leki*CorkL AERGON SpeedL-17oz*Pad B: Thermarest Z Lite 3/4- 10ozPad Me: Thermarest Z Lite- 14ozTotal: 123oz - 7lbs 11ozI'm carrying 2 pads for 2 reasons. 1) I'll be taking my dog and want him off the floor on cold nights, and 2) my pack uses a 3/4 length pad for support but I'd prefer a full length while sleeping. How do I put spaces between lines of texts?-Nick

[tuswm]

do you have experience with your sleeping bag. in my opinion its more of a 30* bag

[Nick&Bruce]

Nope. I've read mixed reviews, but I was planning to bring a liner and I'll always have the option of wearing my clothes to bed.

Sounds pretty darn good.... may follow your lead :0)

We just got back from a 3 day section hike..Woodys Gap to Unicoi Gap (about 32 miles) and took our new Gossamer Gear G4 packs... empty Cindy's was size small at 16oz mine was 16.5oz. Very simple but light packs and did a great job. Very satisfied with this one.

Cindy does a quick review http://youtu.be/C2oJ9nGYqoQ

Enjoy!

Ended up getting a Marmot Helium after talking to a couple of buddy's with more experience. Little weight change but much warmer/$$$.

Mine has come down significantly since my last post.

9.5 oz Alter Ego X2 pack
8 oz ZPacks Hexamid, netted
19 oz Golite Ultra 20
10.5 oz POE Elite AC

Total: 47 oz (2.9 lbs)

A couple of buddy's what?

[tridavis]

[vtrek]

pack is a Granite Gear Vapor- 32 oz
bag is a WM Caribou- 23 oz
pad is a BA Aircore- 22 oz (I like to be comfortable!)
hammock is a Hennessy Expedition- 40 oz (looking for a steal of a deal on a lighter one) Total 117 oz 7 lbs 5 oz

[Kerosene]

I'm still using my 8-year old Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone with a Top Lid, but I'm looking for a lighter pack for future summer hikes:
.
Pack: Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone w/ Top Lid (50 oz)
Summer Bag: Western Mountaineering HighLite (16 oz)
Pad: Therma-Rest NeoAir shortie (9 oz)
Tarp: zPacks Cuben Tarp (7 oz)
.
Total weight = 82 oz (5.13 lbs)
Total weight with ULA Ohm 2.0 @ 30 oz = 62 oz (3.88 lbs)

[Trailbender]

Golite Quest large: 3lb10oz
Cut down and modified ridgerest winter pad: 16oz
Modified tarptent: 16oz
0degree(really a 15, probably)modified quilt: 2lbs8oz

Total: 8lbs2oz, but it is comfortable to me, and I don't carry much else in gear. I can camp comfortably down to about 10 degrees with my extra clothing, total base weight is around 12lbs or less, don't have an exact figure.

[hikerbee]

Lightheart SoLong tent: 27.5oz
Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 deg. bag: 23oz
*Sea to Summit Reactor Compact Plus bag liner: 9.3oz
ULA Circuit pack: 36oz
Thermarest Prolite (small) sleeping pad: 11oz
Total: 6.68lbs

*I included my bag liner in the "big four" since I consider it part of my sleeping bag. Of course, I didn't include my pillow (4oz), Tyvec footprint (5oz), stuff sack or tent stakes. That would make it about 7.5lbs. I like seeing everyone else's setup. Good thread!

For fun this weekend we went retro and said to hell with the grams and ounces.
We were in the Red River Gorge for 3 days.
I carried a Jansport Carson at around 4 pounds 12 ounces.
An Optimus 99R at a pound not counting a honking fuel bottle.
Still in a hammock though, a double Neutron at 12 ounces, but had a 0F under and top quilt.
3+ days of food and a quart of water and I hovered at 28 pounds and ENJOYED it
p.s. I did leave the 60/40 parka at home.

A 99R THE ALUMINUM ONE! My dad bought me an 8R as a birthday present early in my scouting adventures. Nothing like taking a brass & steel stove & protect it in a steel box. Carried it for years for far to many miles I wish to recall.
