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. Base weight for that amount of time is the other question.
My base weight 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.
