[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2211513, member: 97050"] I see we have our expert backpackers here… I said base weight, right? Base weight isn’t going to change. It excludes water, winter layers and food packed etc. I said 3 season so it excludes winter packing gear all together, unless you wanted to talk about it. I won’t stop you. I won’t stop you from talking about any comfort items you pack either. There’s no specific goal except what was asked…and it was a pretty specific question if words still have meaning… 3 season, multiday (3+ day) pack load out…is the question.[B] Base weight[/B] for that amount of time is the other question. My [B]base weight [/B]consist of: My tent -4 lbs Sleep bag synthetic in sealline stuff sack -3 lbs Sleeping pad- .8 lbs Pack pillow-.2 Ground cloth- .1 Pack- 7 lbs Stove -1.8 lbs Jetboil butane canister -.22 lbs Sawyer squeeze -.18 lbs 2 Nalgene bottles long - .9 lbs One large smart water bottle or a gallon bag for filtering dirty water- .2 lbs Spotting scope- 3.6 lbs Tripod- 2 lbs Water tablets, other medications- .1 lbs Kill kit includes game bags, zip ties, knife and spare blades, stuff sack, disposable (surgical) gloves, - 1lb Gloves- Beanie- Headlamp- Kestrel - Multi tool - Gortex top and bottoms - 4 lbs mostly the gortex which I’m thinking of replacing with frog togs. Puffy jacket- 1 lbs 550 cord to hang food Weapon- Lightest I have is my 7 lbs. bow. I hike with weapon strapped to the bag. I consider it part of my base weight as I’ll hike in, hike out with it on my back. Most of my rifles are I the 16 lb range. So I did some averaging here for the purpose of simplicity on here. One of the different circumstance might be elk vs deer…in which case add a bugle call. [/QUOTE]
