How heavy is your pack? - 09/13/18 05:55 PM
For the last few of years I’ve been trying to shave the weight of what I have to carry in the mountains and think I’ve made some progress. I have replaced my pack, tent, sleeping bag, pad, stove, most of my clothing and a few other things and have cut almost 9#’s. Not including food, water, optics, what I wear or the bow/rifle I’m down to just a hair over 22 pounds for an early to mid season hunt including the pack to hike up the mountain. Food adds around 1.5 pounds per day and water depends on how available it will be.
I’m hoping to shave another pound or two in the future but lightweight, dependable gear is starting to get expensive.
So how much do you head up in the mountains with?
